Had to type my name out for something today, and the predictive text decide that my surname is no longer "Green" but "Greenwood", a surname that I rarely type, if ever.
So that was nice of it.
The cover of the dungeon book, showing an old-school cutaway diagram of a dungeon, complete with a dragon.
Lo, 'tis THE DUNGEON BOOK cover!
The Jungle Book meets Dungeons and Dragons with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth in this gleefully fun standalone fantasy narrated by a sentient skull, in which a small girl is thrown to a dungeon full of monsters, who decide to raise her rather than eat her.
11th August!
Thanks, Samuel!

All ready for @athventurecon.bsky.social tomorrow.
Lots of Magic, Maps, and Mischief to sell and, yes, @suspensesiren.bsky.social, I'll be telling everyone about the upcoming audiobook 😁
As well as all the other things you need in your favour, the role of luck and timing in regards to getting the traditional publishing deal can't be underestimated.
And, sadly, those two things are completely out of your control.
Publishing really can be death by a thousand cuts at times.
Still, there isn't much that beats the joy of sitting down and writing a book.
The author, the first page, the book.
This is how to do this trend, right? Right?
Happy birthday!!
