Another #WIPSnips from To Dream a Darker Realm, book 1 of my Stranger Things X Robin Hobb series... 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #WriteSky #amwritingfantasy

I have a lot of fun doing #WIPSnips so let's see if I can get going again! There are a lot of instances of "humid" and "humidity" in To Dream a Darker Realm, my 80's portal fantasy paranormal/epic mash up... more than I realized! 💙🪐📚 #amwritingfantasy #BookSky #WriteSky

Today author @angelaboord.bsky.social gives us a short list of books "to celebrate the condition of being human with heart, grace, and depth," with her article: Human Writer Seeks Inspiration in an Age of Machines! -JI🐉 fantasy-faction.com/2026/human-w... #booksky 💙📚🪐 #NoAI #authorsky #fantasybooks

To all the humans out there... I wrote a little essay. 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #authorsky #indieauthor

ICYMI- today was cover reveal day for To Dream a Darker Realm! 🥳 You can now follow the project on Kickstarter, too 😁 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ang...

Ahhhhh! It's Cover Reveal Day for *TO DREAM A DARKER REALM, my genre-mashup Cold War portal fantasy that's also a little STRANGER THINGS x ROBIN HOBB 😁 Thanks to @fantasybookcritic.bsky.social for all their help!! 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indieauthors #indiefantasy

I'm very excited to be part of the cover reveal team for #SPFBO judge (and SPFBO5 finalist) Angela Boord's To Dream a Darker Realm!: Look at that gorgeous art--and the map!! 😭 beforewegoblog.com/cover-reveal...

I read an embryonic draft of this many years ago and I am SO chuffed Angela is giving us the definitive version. I LOVE this world and @angelaboord.bsky.social is one of my favourite writers. Check out this gorgeous cover and read all about it!

Today is the cover reveal of Untwined, the second book in my dark fantasy duology! 💙📚 The fight for freedom, revenge, and agency that started in Imbued reaches conclusion in this final installment. As near effortlessly as Imbued flowed out of me, writing Untwined turned out to be...so difficult. 🧵

So...I've been taking a little social media hiatus lately. Been traveling, taking care of my kids, and also... working on a little 80's Cold War genre-fluid portal fantasy project. TO DREAM A DARKER REALM STRANGER THINGS x ROBIN HOBB Cover reveal coming July 7! 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indieauthor

Our second #SPFBOXI cut of the day is Kevin Wright's Plague Maiden, which really impressed us at a craft level but didn't quite stand on its own. I'll for sure be going back to read Book One in the series! beforewegoblog.com/spfboxi-revi... #SPFBO #SPFBOReviews @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social

Unfortunately, our first cut today is Angelika Rust's Downtown Selkie, reviewed here by Angela Boord: beforewegoblog.com/spfboxi-revi... Urban fantasy fans, and especially fans of contemporary takes on mythology should take a look! #SPFBOXI #SPFBO @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social #SPFBOReviews

An incredibly thoughtful review from @angelaboord.bsky.social at @fantasyfaction.bsky.social for DEVOURING FORTUNE. If you were on the fence about backing the Kickstarter, go give this a read. Happy Pride month to me, this was definitely a treat to see today 🌈

Go follow the pre-launch page on Kickstarter for this and thank me later! 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiefantasy #darkfantasy

Today's #SPFBOXI semi-finalist announcement is here! This time it's for W. E. Singh's A Djinnfernal Conspiracy--a fabulous comedy that grabbed my attention from its first page: beforewegoblog.com/spfboxi-revi... #SPFBO #SPFBOReviews @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social #booksky #indiefantasy

I'm forever grateful to the readers of MYSTERY OF THE PALE KING who encouraged me to continue the story and go further, deeper, and darker in the telling. DWELLER IN DARKNESS, conclusion of the Deadlights Duology, out 9/22 from @timberghostpress.bsky.social. Cover by @gregchapman.bsky.social

Thank you Angela and Before We Go blog for the review! While I didn’t make the semifinals, “Darby Vernon is a very talented writer…to watch for the future” is getting printed and hung above my bed. (Especially as the sequel is kicking my butt.)

Angela Boord reviews Darby Vernon's Madness of the Elder Vampire for #SPFBOXI!: beforewegoblog.com/spfboxi-revi... This one's giving me slight Underworld vibes! #SPFBO #SPFBOReviews @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social

And finally, From These Dark Abodes by Lyndsie Manusos is a dark, twisted read that stole my heart, of partying, gruesome skeletons, love that bridges worlds, and the horrifying ordeal of being human/having a body that Does Things. #SFINCS #SFINCS3 #TheWIPs #BookSky helynalclove.com/2026/04/20/s...

New #SFINCS review! #SFINCS3

At last! This is my final #SFINCS3 review, this time for Tim Pratt's sci-fi novella, The Nome and the Shroud King. This was a fun, smooth read with an engrossing plot. beforewegoblog.com/sfincs-revie... #SFINCS #booksky #indiebooks

My third #SFINCS3 finalist review! This one's for Ben Galley's fun fantasy romp, The Weaver and the Wyrm!: beforewegoblog.com/sfincs-revie... #SFINCS #Booksky #Indiefantasy

Well, glad I got off the platform when they decided they weren't going to pay royalties under a certain threshold... I guess I'd be paying not to sell books if I'd stayed. 🙄 They say it's to guard against "low quality slop", but I'm not sure this is going to work the way they think it is...
