Had my first session with my new therapist yesterday. 10/10 would recommend.

I review A Black Dragon on Red by @plstuart-author.bsky.social for @spotlightindie.bsky.social. The sixth book in the Drowned Kingdom Saga takes the story in an unexpected direction! spotlightindie.co.uk/2026/06/16/a...

My next newsletter goes out soon! You’ll also get access to a library of free short stories and novellas and much more.

🍣 LAUNCH DAY 🍄 My standalone Fungalverse novel A MURDER MOST FUNGAL is now available wherever fine books are sold!!! Go get a copy in paperback, hardcover or eBook, and immerse yourself in this fungal chef crime thriller that blends The Bear and Jiro Dreams of Sushi with Hong Kong action movies 🔪

Time for a Monday morning MURDER MOST FUNGAL review! Here's my thoughts on @adrianmgibson.bsky.social's MUSHROOM BLUES follow-up. Murder, mayhem, and a whole lot of foodie goodness. This one's a real treat, folks! fanfiaddict.com/review-a-mur...

📚💙 BOOK REVIEW: I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up DEATH SHOW COLOSSUS by @williamjadams3.bsky.social, but this was such a fun and creative book, full of action and heart. I highly recommend checking it out! Read the full review: fanfiaddict.com/review-death...

"With swift and precise writing, @adrianmgibson.bsky.social has presented us with an Umami Bomb of fiction with his latest, A MURDER MOST FUNGAL..." My full review of Gibson's new book, out tomorrow: fanfiaddict.com/review-a-mur... #BookSky

It’s the critical consensus that @pfracassi.bsky.social can WRITE– bold, all caps. What his latest collection Traps and Specters has confirmed to me however, is that he can write pretty much anything. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck here. @shortwavebooks.bsky.social 9/22

As many of you have heard by now, I was recently laid off from my day job. Excited to share that today I’m starting a Patreon! - Free access to short stories - Early-access to chapters of my new series ❤️ In the age of AI, support human creators ❤️

Today's the day! Magic, Maps, and Mischief is out on audiobook from Simon Maverick! Available everywhere you can get audiobooks :) Thanks for everyone's support in making this happen 🙏 🦉 Https://mybook.to/magicmapsandmischief

HE WHO ATE THE WILD by G.J. Terral is a bold and fearless exploration of family, identity, and survival. The Miyazaki-inspired allegory (out June 26) is a rousing success. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-he-wh... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social @gjterralwrites.bsky.social #BookSky #BookReview

The most daunting part of scheduling an introductory call with a new therapist is knowing I'll have to explain the publishing industry to them. 😆😬

THE OTHER by @annieneugebauer.bsky.social releases tomorrow! You absolutely need to be checking out The Outsiders Sequence, these novellas are so tense I love them! Thanks to @shortwavebooks.bsky.social for the ARC! Here is my full review! 👇 fanfiaddict.com/the-other-th...

The deeper into MOONFALL, by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social, the better it got. For me, relationships between the characters are where Crocker shines, particularly between Jacob & Raven, who take over the second half of the book. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-moonf... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social

Wide authors, if you haven't logged into Google Play recently, do so ASAP. Like Amazon KDP and Kobo, they are also jamming in a stupid gen AI recaps "feature" on all books effective 6 July 2026. Unlike the other two, at least we can opt out of this shit. h/t @ajcalvin.bsky.social for the heads up

IT'S PRIDE! AND I AM TRANS. And I finally have the spoons to post some self-promo. SO, here's a thread of my books (there are two books, but I am verbose so it will look like there are more than two books by the end of this thread) #Pride #Pridereads #transauthor #booksky #horror #fantasy

In THE TRAVELER by @josepheckert.bsky.social, even as time rockets forward, the father-son dynamic pushed it over the edge, earning an early spot on my Best of 2026 list. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-t... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social @torbooks.bsky.social @macmillanaudio.bsky.social

Okay, this is the most horrifying short story I have ever written. It is free for everyone - don't even have to subscribe - but please let me know how uneasy it made you feel. It made me feel weird to write it so... www.patreon.com/posts/sugges...

Check out this preview of COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS, my short post-apocalyptic fantasy novel narrated by @vocalveronica.bsky.social with music by @thedungeonmaestro.bsky.social! Available now wherever you listen or read to books. 💙📚

Book 2 brings Ivy and the faerie problems that surround her back for more. This time she’s undercover to take part in a kind of magical fight club. She’ll have to face more of her past and learn her powers more deeply to survive this one @emmaladams12.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-faeri...

Anyway. Happy Pride Month!

I refuse to believe it's already June.

This month’s Patreon update is live! You can sign up to catch up on 5 years of updates and get early copies of all my new books.

I didn’t have “reviewing a new Isaac Asimov book” on my 2026 Bingo card, but here we are. DAVID STARR, SPACE RANGER, from 1952, has been re-released in hardback. My (lengthy) thoughts & review: fanfiaddict.com/review-david... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social @blackstonepub.bsky.social #BookSky

New review is up! I'm reviewing The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies, a fantastic gaslamp fantasy series opener that was so engrossing that I nearly missed my bus stop while reading it. 😅 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-t...

My focus today is even worse than usual after being woken up at 3am by last night's storm, but I got to watch a cool lights display over the park from my window. ⚡

Suzanne Palmer's ODE TO THE HALF-BROKEN is a post-apocalyptic tale that ensnared me from the start, giving me some truly memorable characters along the way, up until an action-packed climax. My full review: fanfiaddict.com/review-ode-t... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social @dawbooks.bsky.social #BookSky

Still recovering from my weekend in Shrewsbury (especially dealing with trains during a heatwave), but it's always so creatively revitalising to hang out with fellow SFF authors in person! 😁

The NICE DRAGONS FINISH LAST ebook is free today! If you want to read about a nice dragon finding his fire and saving his evil family from their own evil plots in a magical future Detroit that was inspired by Shadowrun, this is the book for you! amzn.to/4f15zvj

Survived the train journey back to Birmingham with a suitcase full of books. *collapses*

All set up at Spotlight Indie! 😁

Off to Shrewsbury! So far my trip has involved extreme heat, trains impacted by strike action and now delays and platform changes. I hope the travel gods will actually cooperate with me at some point…

Going away for the weekend in the UK in May means having to repack my suitcase at the last minute because the weather has suddenly decided it's summer now.

Please buy and review my hot guy rescues cat book so I can write more about this ridiculous himbo paladin. mybook.to/SK1SpiritBlade

Two more days!
