Wings in the Valley by Aud Connelly Cover by Arden Powell Wings in the Valley in bold script framed by golden wheat. Silhouettes of a harpy and two fauns against towering ancient ruins framed by vines, grapes, and ivy. The shadow of a dragon looms over everything, including the plot.

Read WINGS IN THE VALLEY if you like The Hobbit, Howl's Moving Castle, Shrek (2001), and enemies-to-lovers polyamory: www.amazon.com/Wings-Valley...

Read THE CONSORT AND I if you like Captive Prince or A Knight's Tale (2001): www.amazon.com/Consort-cour...

Read both if you want to be best friends.

Hey. Hey.

Please don’t wait for an indie book series to be finished before you pick up the books. Just buy them. Don’t wait.

So MANY indie series never get finished because the author gets zero sales on the opening volumes and gives up.

Give them a reason to keep going.

Buy the books.

Support small business, especially when prices match or beat the big guys.

As owners, we sometimes sell at cost just to stay in the game, while giants do it to crush competition. Our goal isn't domination, it's survival.

He was older than I remembered, but I knew who he was the moment I saw him. He still had a mop top of red curly hair, his face framed by black NHS spectacles with lenses as thick as the bottom of milk bottles. It was Jim Cowan, the Bumble’s brother. We stood looking at each other and then at Tony McCaffrey. ‘Is he...?’ ‘Yeah, he’s dead Jim. You could stick a pole up his arse and windsurf him down the Clyde.’ I opened my packet of Marlboros and offered them towards him. ‘I gave up,’ he said, taking one. THE BUMBLE'S END - Jimmy Bain

#Mystery & #Thriller ⚡️📚 #books #amwriting #BookSky Davie scratched at his greasy grey hair. Picked something out and examined it. Then he rived at his straggling beard. ‘Davie? Which. Night. Did. You. See. The. Man?’ Al emphasised each word. ‘Canna remember.’ Davie set about a more comprehensive bout of scratching—under his arms, the back of his neck, inside the grey rag that passed for a shirt. Al stopped him before his hand reached down into his trousers. At least he could confirm the tramp wasn’t wearing Mr Booth’s good suit. ‘Was there anything else in the bin? Clothes, say?’ ‘Never looked. I thowt it was chips, see? Wanted them while they were hot.’
