Hiu only SHOUTS about books

Am I running out of all my older indie purchases I had stockpiled? Hahaha why do you ask

Hey so I'd love some help from clever people on a couple things!

1) What are the recent indie fantasy releases I should be checking out?

2) Is there still some way to read any Amazon-exclusive ebooks on a non-kindle ereader, now that download & transfer is dead?

it is yes but it's quite good actually

I forgot to actually give the answer to this. But the shed was full of hundreds upon hundreds of bits of paper stuck to every inch of wall and ceiling.

And one of them seemed to admit to a murder at a Greggs in Linlithgow.

I AM READING A FANTASY WHERE THERE ARE SOME REALLY BIG TREES AND MAYBE ONE OF THE REALLY BIG TREES WILL FALL OVER AND THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A REALLY BIG DEAL ON A SOCIETAL LEVEL

THE CHUCKLEBALL WIZARD BY GARETH HANRAHAN, IN STORES AUGUST 9TH

I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what the difference is

I've heard of this water-based cooking thing

Idk man, if ever a house was vegetarian, surely it's this one

I bet he has covered the bed in loads of fluffy pillows

I bet he has the warmest voice

A small, old building built out of curved timber in the middle of a forest, with dozens of paper notes visible through the windows and the open door, and long green grass growing on the roof

Hello BlueSky what do you think is inside this strange woodland shed I found?

the cover of the sovereign by c. l. clark, a red color theme with touraine holding a limp luca in her arms in front of a tree

the cover of fate's bane by c. l. clark, a green theme depicting two girls floating opposite each other on a body of water, mournful and romantic tone

the cover of ambessa chosen of the wolf by c. l. clark, depicting ambessa the warlord before a background of fire and smoke and a noxian fortress

It's a THREE BOOK YEAR for me. I'm gonna break them down for you in this thread, but head to my website at the link in bio for more details and sign up for my newsletter to keep tabs on sales, pre-order campaigns, sneak peeks, and events!

Ambessa: Out Now!
The others: Sept 30!

I know that feeling, puppy.

Okay but what about the book you aren't writing but want to write instead of this book. What's that one about? And why are there so many elephants.

Oh man, I was so ready to give you an enthusiastic congrats until I realised I hadn't actually read the quoted post.

Can I just give you the congrats in advance? Then we just wait for it to happen. I think that's how it works.

Would you mind exporting some of that happiness pls

What I don't understand is why I'd waste hours and hours trying to find the ideal prompt that makes GenAI slightly less shit... Rather than spending those hours learning the actual skill.

Love the shirt!

SFF won't ever really reach it's peak until we find it's equivalent of The Dress

"Does Dora the Explorer count as SFF" could be the next great fandom debate

It's always talking swords and talking weapons in fantasy, but never taking clothes.

I bet a good pair of boots would have a lot to say. They've seen some shit.

And let's face it, there's probably some sort of lavender scenting going on too

The Whitecloaks from the Wheel of Time must have a smashing laundry routine, by the way.

Especially with all that camping. Must go through a shit tonne of Persil.

Uhhh maaaybe?

I think that The Age of Madness would still have more characters likely to catch your interest. But that has like 6 books of history behind it that you wouldn't give a fuck about.

But this one is weirdly less grimdark-y and more hopeful. Albeit still cynical and very fight-y.

New, nothing to do with any of the First Law stuff.

Joe Abercrombie's The Devils is basically a sort of Papal Suicide Squad and weirdly enough I'm into that.

Weakness is a sign of humanity

Detractors will say that I'm just leveraging anti-AI sentiment to promote more of the things I like.

Unfortunately, all of those detractors are bots. And thus AI.

People falling into groupthink hysteria is almost as silly as AI, sometimes
