I’ve officially sold enough audiobooks to be able to generate new promo codes. 🎉🎉

⚔️Friday review drop from the Mutual Admiration Society (iykyk)⚔️ #booksky I've read 59 indie books this year and I know there is still a month to go, but this probably will be my indie read of the year! The Severing Son by @vaughnroycroft.bsky.social Review at FanFiAddict in link below!

📚🌊🩸 New Review! 🩸🌊📚 Tides of Torment by @scrimscribes.bsky.social "A desperate race against time to end a cycle of violence full of impossible choices & pulse-pounding high seas action that pauses for breath only to rip apart your heart. Concludes one of the decade's unmissable fantasy series."

Nice sale of FanFiAddict authors (myself included)! Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror books $1.99 or less. Both books in my series are $0.99! Check the link for the sale details! #booksky

Would you read a #scifibook with an octopus sidekick? A sarcastic narrator who breaks the 4th wall? Or A murder mystery on 2 colony ships ‘grown’ by #aliens to save the human race? How about if their #bookreviews are great AND they are 99c/p each? No? Why are you reading this then?👇#booksky 💙📚🪐

If you’ve been interested in a signed copy, but the price of shipping scared you off, I have bookplates available. I ship them worldwide for only $1.50, the price of an international stamp. They’re perfect to add on to any copy of my books that you picked up from the Zon or other retailers!

The Fanfiaddict Indie Author Sale is live! Lots of great books for 1.99 or less, and most are .99 or less. Both of mine are included in the sale! Check it out, support indies, and grab some books! Special thanks to @adamcbassett.com for putting everything together!

I got a fun new drawing from @audriereads.bsky.social ! It’s Francois the spider, the most misunderstood character in The Envoys of War! He’s just a little guy! A hungry little guy…

I sometimes feel like it would be easier to market my fantasy books if they were grimdark or dark fantasy. That seems to be the most popular subgenre and what gets the most attention/coverage. I guess I'll just be over here yelling into the void about my witty fantasy adventures....

Writers, what are you best at? I’ll go first: writing dialogue—especially the quippy kind. Also, imposter syndrome.

What you should listen to while reading The Envoys of War! This is just a smattering of the songs that fit. I’ve got an entire playlist with 40 something songs! Just sayin’… Anyway, the next time you want to read and listen to some music, consider picking The Envoys of War!

A dalliance with a new project gave new life to my creativity, and we're back working on book 2 again. Let's goooooooooo!

Writing the sequel? Meh. Writing the new project? Inject it into my veins.

Writing fantasy is writing "she put a dollop of butter on the porridge", realising your world does not in fact have cattle and changing it to "she put a dollop of antelope butter on the porridge"

Coming in 2026, but available for pre-order now! Get your copy of AN AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO SETTING DESIGN from The Crafty Bookstore and you can add golden sprayed edges! www.thecraftybookstore.com/product-page... (Other options will be available later, but TCB is the only place for these edges!)💙📚🪐

One thing I’d like my books to be remembered for are the platonic friendships between male and female characters. They’re such an important part of my books (and something that doesn’t get enough representation in stories). Romance is great, but so are platonic relationships!

Novella giveaway is live on instagram. 8 paperbacks for two winners! Check it out! 👇

If the algo shows you this post, you need more fun fantasy adventure in your life! Check out the Envoys of Chaos series: full of banter, bickering, dnd vibes, action, and, well, chaos. Available on Kindle Unlimited and Audible. Signed copies available through my website!

THE RIVER HAS ROOTS by Amal El-Mohtar is *stunning*. I don't want to spoil anything but I need you to listen to this audiobook. Yes, it has to be the audiobook. THE PAWNS OF HAVOC by @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social was a fun return to this series, it was cool to see Cork before the events of book 1!

This book rocks, check it out. ✌️

I don't know about you but I think one of these makes for a perfect present 🎁 As with paperback books, I offer free UK shipping as well as drop-ship options if you're in the US. Every order comes with free merch! Nataliekelda.co.uk/shop

If you’re a reviewer who likes audiobooks, I have some US and UK review codes available! You don’t have to review for a specific blog or have a certain amount of followers! Send me a message if you’re interested!

The great cover update hasn’t really led to more sales. In fact, I’ve only sold one physical copy with the new cover so far in over a month. I’ve done well with audiobook sales this month, so all is well, but if you’d like a cool shelf trophy…Envoys is waiting for you!

BOOK REVIEW! I loved @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social's original entry into this series, and THE PAWNS OF HAVOC simply delivers more of it. If you're looking for a quick and fun fantasy novella, you can't do much better than this. 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-p... 💙📚🪐 #BookReview

New stickers going out with signed copy orders! I only printed 12 of each, so they won’t last long!

1,000 copies sold! It’s been a pretty crazy year! I’m so thankful for everyone who’s supported me and I’m looking forward to the future! Also, over 2,600 free copies “sold” on Amazon, but those don’t really count!

One of my favorite things about getting into more map commissions lately is that I get to listen to more audiobooks while I'm illustrating and designing these authors' maps. BTW if you need a map for your book, hit me up. Help me listen to even more audiobooks. 💙📚 www.adamcbassett.com/map-design

I’ve been hesitant to call myself a “best-selling author” because in the scheme of things, I’m a very small fish. However, I’ve been in the Amazon top 20 for humorous and action-adventure fantasy 4 times. I also made an Oklahoma best sellers list one week. Guess I should own it!

I may be sick with Covid and stuck at home, but hey, Bestseller alert!

One year ago today, The Envoys of War was released! It’s been a crazy year, full of highs, lows, and learning experiences. I’ve met so many amazing people in the book community, so it’s impossible to tag them all, but thank you to everyone who has supported me!

I’m getting excited about my new Fantasy Rom Com WIP tentatively called It Happened One Fortnight! It features a woman who doesn’t need saving, a man who tries to save her…and doesn’t do very well, and an armor-clad cat! Here’s what you can expect once I actually get it written!

Sunday will be one year of Envoys, so in celebration, I’ve made the ebook free for the next five days. You can also pick up the heavily discounted audiobook with the free ebook for only around 5 bucks! So tell your friends! This is the banter book you need!

Let’s overplan and make a writing project timeline that will probably change several times in the next year! Here are the current projects i have in the pipeline! Note: all of these are working titles except for The Mayhem of Scoundrels, which is official!

Happy release day!

Hey I have a book out today which makes another completed trilogy! But I'm super duper stressed at work so I've got no time to make a fun post. If you enjoy dark sci-fantasy, trauma/healing, found family and weird and wild worlds, check out my Inner Universe series!

Locks & Keys: A Fantasy Anthology advance copy unboxing. They are finally here! Can't wait to ship them out to our North American ARC readers (EU readers got them weeks ago)

Friendship bracelets? Nah. Marketing bracelets? Hell yeah!

Giveaway alert! In celebration of our October book anniversaries, 5 of us at Willow Wraith Press are holding a giveaway. 5 paperbacks, one winner! Featuring books from @authornickbetts.bsky.social @ajcalvin.bsky.social @poppyalexanders.bsky.social, @nickawrites.bsky.social, and me!

I reached 200 total ratings on Goodreads! 129 for Envoys 64 for Pawns 8 total for my two no longer available literary fiction works. Exactly 200! Plus 27 for the Locks and Keys anthology!

Natalie is so great! Check out her reviews (and also her books!)

It looks like, as long as you own the Envoys of War ebook—or possibly have it downloaded on KU—you can grab the audiobook for 4.93 right now. So, 20 dollars off! I mean, it’s a no brainer!

Every time I sell a book, a strand of hair returns. Could I one day have hair like this again??

What’s the vibe of The Envoys of Chaos series? High stakes. Action. Witty banter. Found family and friendship. Bickering. All the bickering. Plans.

In 12 days, it will be the one year anniversary of the release of the Envoys of War. I’m at loss for ideas for celebrating. Giveaways? Sales? I’ve done a lot of those. If anyone has ideas, let me know!

Loved narrating The Pawns of Havoc, a prequel to The Envoys of War jam-packed full of darkness, wit and good humour, by @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social. Out now on Audible! #Audible #narrator #audiobook #audiobooks #fantasy #novella #thepawnsofchaos #DaveLawson #acx www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0FTMQB5P...

The Pawns of Havoc is available on Audible—and ready for you to listen! Once again, the fantastic @laurenceknott.bsky.social lends his narration skills, and I think you’ll love this darker prequel novella. Hope you’ll give it a listen!

You can now snag a used signed copy of Envoys on eBay for only TEN DOLLARS MORE than if you buy it directly from me, the author… 😂 What a deal!

This is not a drill! The Pawns of Havoc is live on Audible! And, it’s only $10.96! If you’re an audiobook lover, check out my banter-laden darker-than-the-main-series prequel novella!

The books, movies, and games that influenced me! Have you read, watched, or played any of them??

I'm getting closer to 200 total ratings on goodreads! We're at 193 now and counting!
