Scott Drakeford

Is it just me or is Lonesome Dove (the book)... boring and lame? I'm like 100 pages into this and it's just not hitting like other great historical fiction has been.

Gollancz snaps up three-book deal from 'gifted' fantasy author JT Greathouse Gollancz has snapped up three epic fantasy novels from JT Greathouse, beginning with the standalone novel The Tower of the Tyrant.

Oh hey would you look at that.

I'm back at it again with @brendandurkin.bsky.social for three more books at @gollancz.bsky.social!

This one's got everything!
Ghosts!
Excessively virtuous knights!
A distressing tower!
A man who is also a tree?
Lots of birds!
Utopian anarchism!

It's great.

Happy publication day to @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social! His wonderful debut LIGHTFALL is now available from @stmartinspress.bsky.social. Vampires, werewolves, sorcerers - what else could you want or need?!

I’m so excited to announce our second novella project for 2025, this time with the brilliant @essahansen.bsky.social ! Full details on the comments below.

"Swan has returned to his fantasy playground two hundred years later... combining his obsession with the weaknesses of empire and the horrors of war against the backdrop of the gunpowder and merchant navy age. Master and Commander with psychotic mermen, anyone?"

You available to write copy, Ed?

Christmas album dropping soon

I’ll be honest, the parrot confused me

Publishing tried to kill the metal. But the metal was much too strong.

Thanks to @torbooks.bsky.social for sending me a copy of this bad boy by @scottdrakeford.com, the sequel to a modern fantasy classic

I thought the 1st one was frankly incredible so I’m looking forward to more military rebellion/creepy sorcerers/electromagnetic-life-source-not-totally-sure magic

Just finished Lightfall by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social !

4.5/5, full review to come but holy shit. What a debut! Anxiously awaiting book 2, which also hurts since this isn't officially out yet. Gonna be a massive hit.

He speaks facts. It's such a good military fantasy 😎

I’ll count it

The Fate of Silent Gods The Age of Ire saga continues with The Fate of Silent Gods, continuing the gripping, personal vengeance with compelling characters in a struggle for power.Em...

The Fate of Silent Gods by yours truly hit shelves today.

It’s good, I promise.

I’m very sorry to hear that, Daniel. Losing fur babies is painful.

Great interview tbh

Ryan could not have written a more timely book than this one. Check it out if you like food, magic, revolution, or any combination thereof. It sits in the Venn diagram centre of all three.

Richard continues to be very good at writing books

Being friends with Richard truly is a burden

Absolutely crammed with imagination, horror, epic scale, and characters I simply could not put down. Grave Empire is going to be one of the best dark fantasies 2025 has to offer || GRAVE EMPIRE by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social || www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-grave...

I'm sure your love of the cover has nothing to do with the quote at the top?

My copy of @scottdrakeford.com 's FATE OF SILENT GODS arrived. I adore this cover and the compact hardback might just be my favourite format. If you like fast paced military fantasy then give it a go!

📕⚔️⚡️New Review⚡️⚔️📕

Just 3 years later, I finally read Rise of the Mages by @scottdrakeford.com

"This hurricane-paced political fantasy debut with a standout magic system is more addictive than cheese-flavoured morphine. Drakeford's the real deal.”

Nailed it

Yeah, take that boomer shit back to facebook where it belongs

I suppose I should start posting here too. God damn it.

A new blurb for Rise of the Mages:

“This book commits almost every crime against heroic fantasy that I can imagine ... and I have not been able to put it down.” ―Glen Cook, bestselling author of The Black Company
