Please find below my FanFiAddict.com #horror #bookreview for BestGhost, a novelette that is both spooky but great taster for the soon to be released Tales from Cemetery by @cjdaleywrites.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/bestghost-th... #horrorbooks #booksky 💙📚🧟

I know there's still a week left, but Tuesday, Sept 23rd at 8pm CST, we will be chatting with @thomashowardriley.bsky.social about his book, The Light of Kasaban for Willow Wraith Press' Indie Book Club. Come join the chat!

2025pubderby.carrd.co Hey yall, new books just dropped! Inkfort Derby is an annual event where 100 authors are each assigned a cover, a pen name, and a title. They have 4 months to write, edit, publish, and market their books. Today is publication day, please give the authors some love!

#SciFiSeptember 22 Is there real artificial intelligence? Yes, but it operates under a strict set of rules (though there are hints that they're overcoming their programming.) They're also granted some limited rights in society, and there are penalties for tampering with/destroying AIs.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 22 What type of book would your MC write? The Caein Legacy: Andrew kind of wrote a memoir (he dictated his story to a scribe at the end) The Relics of War: Taven would pen a manual on rare magic/relics. He loves to research and spend time in the library.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 21 Pass on some author wisdom I don't think there is any way to avoid having pieces of yourself bleed into every single story you write. Just embrace it and enjoy the ride!

#SciFiSeptember 21 Snippet: Device Kye has a bit of a learning curve to deal with after his cybernetics are implanted... 🤭

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 20 Saturday snippet The Murkor people are in a difficult position from the start of The Relics of War series, and this snippet illustrates that pretty well. By the way, book 1 is on sale this weekend! Check my pin for details. 😊

#SciFiSeptember 20 Forbidden Tech There isn't much forbidden tech. The most notable illegal item is the cybernetic suppressor; it's designed to deactivate and/or destroy cybernetics. Since Zylar Inc employs cyborgs in its security team, suppressors are banned (but there is a black market...)

📢Friday morning cover reveal time!📢 A sequel to a weird west with elves, a book I really really enjoyed, A Troupe of Shadows, we can now reveal Theater of Blades by @jzabrinsky.bsky.social Check the link below for all the details!

#SciFiSeptember 19 Tech with a harmful cost You know those cybernetics I mentioned a couple days ago? There's a hidden cost to them, one that Zylar Inc doesn't share with the people who have them implanted. It's a major plot point in Wraith & the Revolution (and a spoiler), so that's all I can say.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 19 Free Friday / Share pet photos I'm excited for this weekend - I'm doing my first live author event in over a year: the Front Range Fantasy Festival. It should be a great time! And here's the most recent photo of my dragon (he is so goofy sometimes)

at #MHC57, I'm responsible for Authors Row, so I'll be posting some of the authors who will be there this year! One of the authors we are welcoming this year is: @ajcalvin.bsky.social#MHC57 #BookSky

This week's blog is the latest in the Worldbuilder Diaries series, and it's all about research. Yes, even fantasy authors need to do research for their books (and probably a lot more than some people realize!) You can read the post here: ajcalvin.net/the-worldbui...

#SciFiSeptember 18 Gadgets In Wraith and the Revolution, Sorin's the guy people go to if they need tech or gadgets. He's a bioengineer and hacker, and owns some decidedly illegal gear (the cybernetic suppressor is one of those) This is Sorin (artwork by @justmissart.bsky.social)

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 18 Power-hungry character in WIP There is one... She isn't in book 1 of the duology, though she's mentioned, but she's a major part of book 2's story. She's the mortal agent of the god of chaos, but that's all I'm willing to say right now.

THE BONE RAIDERS is an epic fantasy with tons of heart, equal parts serious and fun. I had a great time in the Tapestry, and can’t wait to see what Jackson Ford does with the sequel. 🪐📚💙 #BookReview 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-b...

#SciFiSeptember 17 Body alterations and cyborg implants Cybernetics are a major part of Wraith and the Revolution. They aren't cheap and they're hard to get, but if someone is hired by Zylar Inc as part of their security team, they're outfitted with the best. But afterwards, that job is for life 1/

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 17 Autumn TBR I don't officially have one yet (somehow I managed to catch up on all my ARCs!) I'm reading based on mood right now. So anyway, I'm currently reading The Godsblood Tragedy by @williamjadams3.bsky.social and I'll be reading Lady Drakeslayer next.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 16 Marketing advice I'm not sure I have anything profound to share, but I can say this: Don't be afraid to approach book blogs or booktubers for reviews/promos/cover reveals. Some might say no (usually due to time constraints), but in my experience, they're all nice people.

Take a chilling hike into the paranoia inducing, folkloric mystery of Gemma Fairclough's THE RETREAT, the latest book in @wildhuntbooks.bsky.social Northern Weird Project! Thanks to Wild Hunt Books for the ARC! Full review below 🧘‍♀️ fanfiaddict.com/review-the-r...

#SciFiSeptember 16 Tech: Kinds of media Holovids are the most popular, but strictly text-based messages still exist in Kye's world. There are also highly interactive, immersive holographic games, which his friend Zinn enjoys playing in her downtime (mostly FPS-type games. She's a merc, after all 😅)

Beauty and rot, gilt and decay all feature in “The Works of Vermin,” by Hiron Ennes. With shades of Miéville but a palette that is completely its own, this one will ensure you never complain about an eight legged housemate again. @torbooksuk.bsky.social OCTOBER 14TH

You may have seen it around the sphere today #bluesky, but here it is, the cover for @nataliekelda.bsky.social's trilogy capper! Check the link for all the details! willowwraithpress.com/2025/09/15/c...

I've had a few updates/additions since this post went live on the 1st! ajcalvin.net/the-indie-au... #booksky

#SciFiSeptember 15 Tech: Long-distance communication There are a few ways people communicate long-distance in the galaxy, but signals only reach so far (there's one location where Kye is cut off from everything due to its distance from the nearest relay.) Video coms are the most common form.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 15 Where would your MC like to visit? Wraith and the Revolution: Kye would like to visit anywhere that isn't Earth. The Caein Legacy: Andrew hopes to return to the Dragonlands one day. He didn't get to spend nearly enough time there on his first visit.

Releasing tomorrow - just in time for spooky season - is NO REST FOR THE WICKED by Rachel Louise Adams. Take a trip to a Halloween obsessed small town, where everyone has secrets, in this family drama thriller! Full review below 🎃 @titanbooks.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-no-re...

Any indies have books coming out in October? I'm building next month's new release post, and there's room for new titles! You can submit the book info using the form in the comments (Please use the form to submit. I don't have time to look up books linked on this thread, thx) #booksky #indiebooks

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 14 Your favorite books I have a really tough time picking favorites. I read a lot of ebooks, but if I love a book enough, I'll buy a copy for my shelf. Consider all of these a favorite in some way.

#SciFiSeptember 14 Snippet: Strange (Or in this case, the word is "strangely") Kye inexplicably finds himself working alongside a group of mercs for part of the book. He doesn't trust their leader, but at times, he has a grudging respect for the man. buy.bookfunnel.com/y2902vi7rx

#SciFiSeptember 13 Whole alien ecosystems While the ecosystems on Botanaar aren't explored much in Wraith and the Revolution, there is a forthcoming related short story set in an uninhabited, semi-tropical forest on Botanaar. Some of the native wildlife is featured...along with a certain fungus.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 13 Saturday Snippet Today's snippet is from War of the Nameless, the third and final book in the Relics of War trilogy. Ravin has a volatile history with the gods, but unlike most mortals, he's not afraid to antagonize them at risk to his own life.

I picked this print up from a vendor at WorldCon because I like dragons, and I like my tea. I didn't know until today that the dragon matches my kitchen cabinets so well 😂 I may just leave it where it is.

New book review for Molly Macabre's new novella WHAT COMES BEFORE. This is a fun, fast-paced, and at times gruesome horror novella. It reads like a love letter to spooky forest stories, with few wild twists along the way. The book comes out TOMORROW the 13th. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-what-...

This was such a fun chat! If you missed it live last night, the replay is available now 😊

Please find my fantasy book review for FanFiAddict of Trollgrave by @alexsbradshaw.bsky.social in the link below. A Norse inspired dark fantasy that rolls along at an electric pace with fluid prose. Had me hooked! fanfiaddict.com/trollgrave-b... #bookreview #fantasybooks #darkfantasy

Written in a style of a letter to his son, Icarus, Daedalus recounts the memories of his life as he toils away in Hell. Daedalus is Dead by Seamus Sullivan was an emotionally poignant retelling, and I loved it. Thanks @torbooks.bsky.social for the ARC! #booksky #bookreview #FanFiAddict My review:

#SciFiSeptember 12 Alien animals and plants The planet Botanaar is home to a vast array of plants and animals. Trees that grow taller than any the humans have seen, and there are 6-legged kiiru (that look kind of similar to reindeer and are often domesticated for hobbyist riding) featured in Wraith

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 12 Free Friday / Books that remind you of autumn The first book that came to mind this morning was Kat Kinney's Light My Pyre, which is set around Halloween time. @katkinneywrites I also tend to read stuff by Poe or horror novels this time of year.

I get to have the honor of chatting with @beardedbookbeast.bsky.social tonight at 7:30 pm Eastern. Come join us! t.co/fWISVBSt6Z

With apologies for my tardiness please find my cyberpunk book review of Digital Extremities by @adamcbassett.com for FanFiAddict. A collection of short stories that put the ‘human’ in digital realities. fanfiaddict.com/digital-extr... #cyberpunk #scifi #bookreview 💙📚🪐

This week's blog is about all the events I have coming up - and there are a few! ajcalvin.net/september-oc...

#SciFiSeptember 11 Aliens: Interspecies communication In Wraith, the two civilizations in the galaxy (human and Botanaari) have known about one another long enough that communications between them were established many decades ago. But some Botanaari still only speak their native language.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember 11 Do you know what your next WIP will be? After the current one? Um... No... I currently have 6 outlines pinned to my project board, but I don't know which one I want to work on first. Plus there's this short story idea. I may need help... 😅😵‍💫

#booksky, this series is fantastic! And it's on sale!
