This is going to be brilliant and a lot of fun, so definitely come join us! We’ll be chatting all things epic fantasy while we celebrate the launch of @justinleeanderson.com’s The Damned King! If nothing else, come back me up when I yell at Justin for being so mean to his characters.

I have reached a part of book 2 which is so much fun to write that I am genuinely cackling to myself. Muahahaha! I’d judge myself, but this is too fun to stop.

Jack of Thorns What do you do when a Celtic god rings your doorbell? Laurence Riley is a San Diego florist whose ex won't leave him alone.

Take one (1) disaster bisexual florist who sees the future (badly).

Add one (1) autistic demisexual earl who is Completely Fine (allegedly).

Put in a blender with a desperate Celtic god and whirr that shit until EVERYONE BLEEDS.

The Shape of Monsters is delicious and dangerous, steeped in magic and monsters. There are ancient magical families, lost gods, and intoxicating romance. If you’re looking for a great new listen, this is it! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

If you love classic fantasy vibes with an updated feel, this is the book for you - featuring disaster mages, family trauma/bonding, political upheaval, weird af dragons, and stunning worldbuilding.

Annabel Campbell is this gen's Trudi Canavan, so you can't beat a deal like this.
