As the author read to the end of the post, his smile became a taut line of fury.
Joe Abercrombie's First Law series (no spoilers please!) has been very cool so far. The characters and world have definitely sucked me in. But gods, Abercrombie is obsessed with described what everyone's mouth is doing at all times.

Excited (and more than a little nervous) about the fact that all the physical review copies of The Ruined have now arrived at their destinations!

Hard to believe the release date is in less than two weeks 😬

Morning #indieauthor #writingcommmunity !

How common is it for blogs / booktubers etc to expect payment in exchange for a review? I've been running into this quite a lot recently and wasn't expecting it 😅

As an #indieauthor, I am excited to announce I've been given some guidance from Joe Abercrombie on what path to take going forward.

(Yes, he gave me directions)
The event's actually at Saint James church on Piccadilly, just up the road from Waterstones.
Can't wait to see Joe at the Piccadilly Waterstones to get a copy and listen to him speak - don't think I've ever been so hyped for a book to come out before!

Excited to hear Sam's opinions on the rest of the First Law world, things get exponentially better from The Blade Itself!
After being bullied about having not read it by my friends Ross & Laura of Hardy’s Books for months, it’s finally time to talk about the First Law.
