A promo image for the Thirteenth Hour's 4th anniversary featuring the book cover with funky glasses over the characters, and the text: Fantasy of bad manners, tea, and naughty words - four years! Cruel gods demand worship from their mortal subjects in this gaslamp fantasy featuring magical portals, gothic cosmic deities, quaint Britishisms, and steampunk vibes.

Today is the 4th anniversary of The Thirteenth Hour, the first book in my Cruel Gods series. This book went on to become a SPFBO & BBNYA finalist AND Indie Ink award winner for best setting/wittiest character!

To celebrate, I've put the ebook up for FREE for today only! 🥳

Photo of Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf by C. L. Clark. The cover art features Ambessa, a frightening (complimentary), powerful woman with dark skin and curly hair, wearing a red cloak and surrounded by swirling red flames. In the background are tall, stylized city structures under a cloudy sky.

the real real answers is that I am in love with her

the real answer is that I really enjoyed the lore in Arcane

logic: but you know absolutely nothing about LoL, why are you buying this book?
me: There is a hot woman with big guns on the cover

Thank you! Preordered!

Black-and-white book cover for The Rising Dark by Celia Thorn. The cover depicts two women standing close together in an intimate pose in a shadowy urban alley. One woman, with long hair in a ponytail, leans in towards the other and touches her face. She holds a sword between them. The title text “THE RISING DARK” appears at the bottom.

Looking forward to this! But no form in the bio?

WATERSTONES PREORDER CAMPAIGN!

Eager readers, I have a special surprise for you! If you preorder FIRSTBORN OF THE SUN through @waterstones, we’ll send you some gifts☀️ Head to the form in my bio to share your proof of purchase🧡

Heard great things about it and the Libby wait of several months seems to vouch for it ahah

I still don't have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well."

Didn't have to be anything you read this year specifically, bad wording on my part! But ended up going with Regicide since it's something I likely wouldn't have picked up on my own 🙂

Got my 12 and am ready to start reading come January! Thanks to everyone who suggested a book 🙂

It's still a steep price for a book, imo, but yeah seems about the same for physical books here! And it astonishes me even ebook now tend to sell for almost as much as a physical copy (generally, and if trad pub and bought on the usual retailers), though I'm sure there's a reason?

Weeeell have you done it yet? :p

It was so good! And the fking Raven

We have to start storing our books in some kind of vacuum

Oh, also preordered this. Actually the first book I'll read by the author

Saw this one on Libby and caught my eye too! Wonder what dark Johnson & Johnson secrets it reveals lol

Agree! I have 3 of these and will be going for the rest

"The greatest tales are told over and over, in many ways, through centuries. Fantasy changes with the changing times, and yet it is still the oldest kind of tale in the world, for it began once upon a time, and we haven't heard the end of it yet."

Hadn't seen this one before! Sounds great!
