GOLDFIELD FOREST “It hits all the beats of a good action fantasy...The power and the magic is real...” Independent Book Review. bit.ly/4azGGl7

DANCING VALLEY “Black’s storytelling is both enchanting and thought-provoking.” Readers’ Favorite. amzn.to/409zSHh

From the desert to the mountains, Juan does what it takes to survive and to prosper. But his pursuit of justice is paramount, and he believes there are times that vengeance should not be left to the Lord. @rrbc-org.bsky.social @4rwisawriters.bsky.social amzn.to/3xcvwBa

Big thanks to everyone for the kind words on Beyond The Mark! A lot of reviews mention it feels like D&D, definitely not what I set out for, but it's awesome to see people having fun with it in ways I didn't expect.

Guess that's just how all creative work goes!

New review by Tabitha today!

Book cover for Empire of Exiles by Erin M Evans A top down view of a wooden desk, covered with a large map, coins, ink well, quill, dagger and a pink crystal.

Empire of Exiles by Erin M Evans

Epic fantasy, with many races living together after fleeing from an evil race of shapeshifters. The magic users are attuned to some kind of material - ink or bronze or bone, and can spiral into magical obessions that take them over.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ dark, contemporary mystery/thriller set around Halloween Fast-paced, twisty, late 30's FMC, suspenseful, & CATS! The cover & description imply a supernatural story; it's not. Content warning for SA (in the past, not graphic), murder, violence, light gore. Thanks @netgalley.bsky.social ! 💙📚⚡

An image of a foggy blue city viewed through a rain-covered window. The left half of the image has the text: The Scientist, Action, Space Opera, Cloak and Dagger, Intergalactic Travel, Space Stations, Mystery written over it. On the right side of the image, the covers for the books, The Scientist: A Monster's Resentment, and The Scientist: Masks & Lies have a white boarder. A Monster's Resentment is an image of a black hole, Masks & Lies is an image of an Earth-like planet with the right half of the planet burning. Below the books' covers there is a white box with the logos, 'Available at Amazon', 'Barnes and Noble', 'kobo plus', 'Rakuten kobo' inside it.
