Feel like this could be a question for @mytholder.bsky.social

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

Thrilled to reveal the insane cover for STEEL GODS by Philip Harris - once again the cover gods have smiled on me

Congrats Jon! A wonderful achievement.

It's finally here: LAUNCH DAY for The Last Vigilant.

My first foray into epic fantasy, this book has been a long time in the making. Come join the adventures of an elderly sleuth and her hard-as-nails companion in The Kingdom of Oak & Steel.

OUT NOW!

Yessssssss! Will be awesome to see you!

I'm really thrilled that Silverblood has been longlisted for @goldsborobooks.bsky.social's Glass Bell award! Such a privilege to be in the company of so many amazing writers.

Congrats Pete!

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 ARCs of Blood for the Undying Throne! Gorgeous cover art by Dominik Mayer, translated by the fabulous @antonhur.com Out in October this year from @torbooks.bsky.social and @orbitbooks.bsky.social UK #bloodoftheoldkings #bloodfortheundyingthrone

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

Congrats Dave!

Just make up your own terms, I'm sure the BL editors would really love that

You arriving at the college

Same! Always appreciate something that takes an 'unlikable' character and manages to make you actually sympathise with them. Good plot work too.

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.

We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world.

If you’re able, we could use your help.

Well, that's another day nearly over, gang. Just enough time left to quickly check in on the AI takeover we're sacrificing our actual planet to fuel.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

So pleased you enjoyed it!

Don't forget siding with AI techbros, holding a 'consultation' on AI that was a foregone conclusion, and throwing the UK's entire creative industry under the bus.
