December appears to be the month of Urban Fantasy. The new Self Published Fantasy Release list has just gone live and it is a BIG month both in quantity and some of the names putting out books.
Check it out!

And the first draft of HERALD's sequel is away to my Alpha Readers. Now the long wait to find out if I've spent the past 6 years writing a pile of crap. ๐คฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฑ

I am still very much under the weather, but here's another author blurb for HAMMERFALL, this time blurbed by the amazing Steve McHugh!
Pre-order your copy here: readerlinks.com/l/5103883/hf...
All five paperback books from Rob J. Hayesโ โThe War Eternalโ arranged in two rows on a table.
๐ป Oh! I just remembered everybodyโs favourite ghost wrangler, Eska the Corpse Queen, from @robjhayes.bsky.social โThe War Eternalโ series! She is the weapon.

Don't mind me, just posting this here because HAMMERFALL has received an author blurb from THE Michael R. Fletcher!!! ๐ฒ
Hammerfall is releasing February 3rd 2026 and is a standalone novel set in my God Eater Saga world.
๐ BOOK DESIGN DEEP DIVE ๐
@robjhayes.bsky.social has been such an inspiration for me during my self-pub journey, so to design this cover for his standalone God Eater novel Hammerfall was a dream come true. Thank you, Rob!
HIRE ME TODAY! See my full my portfolio at adrianmgibson.com/book-design

The November list of Self Published Fantasy is now live!
I can't lie, one of the covers really snagged my attention this month. Can you guess which?

One thing the convention taught me was I need to get better at short descriptions of my books. So I've condensed HERALD's description into 3 words!
What dya think?
After a few days away at the convention, Potato investigation is on the way to confirm my identity. As always, first point of interrogation is my ears.

I've just put a free short story up on my Patreon. I'm calling it The Execution. It doesn't belong in any of my worlds, just a little story that popped into my head.
Feel free to check it out.

The ARCs have arrived! Which means... The ARCs will soon be getting sent out. ๐
Hammerfall is one step closer to release.
Rather than finishing this final epilogue, I have spent the morning procrastinating. So I wrote a recap for HERALD. to go at the beginning of book 2.
The recap is over 1000 words!
Turns out, a lot happened in Herald.
Never! TBF, it is a RARE day.

Tomorrow!
