still think we all should get a bunch of blowup dolls and helium to freak out the people waiting for the rapture
[Pictures of a ton of blowup dolls filled with helium soaring into the sky looking like people being raptured]
Wait, stupid people think The Rapture is about to occur in a couple days?! WE ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS EVER:

Thank you! π The tentacles actually erupt from a daemon's face... The visual was just too good not to write. I'm hoping this is the first in a series. I have lots of ideas for a second book, but I'll see how this one goes first.

The cover of Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis by Caroline Barnard-Smith. Long purple tentacles reach towards a glowing neon city.
πMIDNIGHT METROPOLIS is out today!π
If you like your sci-fi weird, cyberpunky, and throttled by angry tentacles, I have the book for you.

My kid felt sick at school today, so I've brought them home and now Freaky Friday is blaring in my earhole while I'm trying to edit. It's the Lindsay Lohan version, so it could be worse (yes, I will die on that hill!)

A 3D cover of the book Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis by Caroline Barnard-Smith sits beneath a quote from the novel: "Sheβd found two boot-shaped marks seared into her ribcage. They could have been commonplace bruises or a bad reaction to Flanniganβs pizza, but they'd been enough to force her into the fetid hellhole that doubled as Traci-Lynnβs storefront."

Text reads: It's too hot in the UK! So why not cool down by reading about a shield-maiden with icy powers? Below is the cover of WINDBORN - all on a background of snow-covered trees and mountains
It's a very warm week in the UK - pushing above 30 for us here today - so why not read WINDBORN, a Norse-inspired fantasy set in winter with a shield-maiden that has ice powers!
What better way to experience the cold?
