good GOD it's been a long time 🫠 No promises on the quality of this episode! We're rusty as anything. Huge thanks to "Drake Scottford" for being our special guest this episode! S2 e45 is live! publishingrodeo.wordpress.com/2025/10/26/s...

Have you ever wondered what sort of magical bird would follow @scottdrakeford.com around his house and yard all day? Come find out!

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.

To celebrate #aapiheritagemonth, grab an exclusive signed, special edition paperback of @waynesantos.bsky.social's novella THE DIFFICULT LOVES OF MARIA MAKILING for just 2.99! Maria, videogame concept artist & Filipina mountain goddess, is in love...and in trouble. geni.us/Solarissale

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?

How can Richard Swan’s books get more epic, terrifying, and brilliant?! 🪐📚💙 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

when artists ask for advice this is likely best trot i could give. applies to those looking for big movie deal or record deal or big five publishing deal but really it is about YOU and THE GIFT OF YOUR ART. glad to be able to share on @publishingrodeo.bsky.social @sunyidean.com @scottdrakeford.com

VERY few resources for new authors trotting into publishing industry and @publishingrodeo.bsky.social is such a gift to explore this world. so thankful to join them for chat about ART THEORY and BOOK BUSINESS and of course PROVING LOVE. out now on your preferred podcast way rss.com/podcasts/pub...

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 😎

The Fate of Silent Gods by yours truly hit shelves today. It’s good, I promise.

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

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...

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.”

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

I decided to keep tabs on my book's b&n sales ranking before, during, and after the month of July (which is the month that Book Eaters was a B&N spec fic pick), to get a sense of how impactful that marketing was. TLDR: huge impact on sales! 1/4 (click to see rest of thread)
