Hardback edition of When There Are Wolves Again by E. J. Swift, with cover featuring a wolf and branch/leaf/flower design, photographed in the garden with the author's cat in the background being dramatic
When There Are Wolves Again is out in the UK today! I wrote something about the book, and keeping going, and some personal stuff I dithered over but, well, it's been A Year.
I'm so glad the book is out there and thank you so much to everyone who has supported it πΊπ€

So, the next book to read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. This is book 2 in the series. I'll be reading an eARC, which I received from Netgalley. I hope that it's as good as The Silverblood Promise. And, if it is, I'll need to get a paperback copy of it. π @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

This is a beautiful novel that charts the lives and experiences of two women across past, present and future as they fight for our environment's future. Heartbreaking but ultimately - and importantly - hopeful. Also, wolves. πΊ

By turnsΒ tragic, terrifying, uplifting, poetic, vast in its ambition and devastatingly human in its scale...Β full of urgent, soaring hope.
βΒ Claire North, author of THE LAST SONG OF PENELOPE
A joy to readΒ - effortlessly controlled and textured, moving in its details yet bold in scope - and aΒ brilliantΒ example of what can be done with the tools of speculative fiction.
βΒ Matt Hill, author of LAMB
Confirming E. J. Swiftβs standing as a writer of urgent, beautifully crafted eco-fiction... Iβm left with a much-needed feeling of optimism.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi is the best REM album and that is a hill I will - if not die on - at least put up a very stubborn defence before reluctantly retreating. (Also, I agree about Losing My Religion. I'm not sure it would even make my top 20 REM songs.)

I found that sending the manuscript to my Kindle and reading it on there really helps me spot passages that don't work, along with continuity errors and typos. I also print the first pass out (when it's typeset after the copy edit) and read it out loud. Slow and tedious, but hugely valuable.

I feel like a similar rule exists for forks. Like, I would rather eat my dinner with my bare hands than use the weird fork in the drawer that is a bit too small and has a strange engraving on it

Space Wolves Codex 2nd edition. I 'read' it in a silent reading English lesson and got thrown out by the supply teacher who called it - and I quote - 'perverted rubbish'. Anyway, I've had a fifteen-year editorial career publishing 'perverted rubbish' and now I write it, too. So I guess I win.

The book "Blood of the Old Kings" by Sung-Il Kim and translated by Anton Hur. A woman with a burning eye reaches for a black and red sword. Behind her a many-eyed dragon coils into the sky.
If you haven't read this one you just gotta, there's been so much dragon fantasy lately and so much of it is mid, but this book is so good and so cool and made me go "oh fuck yeah" so many times
