Stayed up late finishing 'Daughter of the Otherworld' by @shaunalawless.bsky.social. A great transition into a new era of the Gael Song saga. I'm so invested in these characters' lives, it's almost painful. Once again, the end has left me hanging out for more! #booksky @headofzeus.bsky.social

High praise from Mark! I think I’ve read more of his books than any other author - so just extra cool to hear that he’s enjoying my work

We are very excited to unveil our special edition of Daughter of the Otherworld by Shauna Lawless in association with Head of Zeus 🍂

Shauna Lawless suggested a discord as a place for fans and I have had my discord running since 2023 and invited one person. Mainly because it feels weird to assume people are out there hoping to join my discord. But it exists so if you're into that kinda thing here you are discord.gg/sAPZT2hV

My book The Shape of Monsters is up on Audible for a credit, or free for premium accounts. It's modern secondary world fantasy with gothic sensibilities, monstrous Princes from the Long Dark, scheming mages, and much queerity. www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0FGDJ5X1...

New blog post - on asking me questions about writing and publishing www.davidgoodman.net/asking-me-qu...

Yeah so I've been feeling a sort of way. Look this is long but I've put pictures in it and it is full-velocity me throwing my toys out the pram territory so you should at least find that amusing, okay? emfaulds.com/a-writers-jo...

I never talk about politics or real life matters on SM. I’m not an expert by any means But I feel perhaps the world needs to pause for a moment The suffering of the people of Gaza is immense. Food and aid must get through to them. Whoever has the power to make this happen - must help and now

A fab Q&A I did recently about Dreams of Chaos! Thanks for taking the time @grimoireinkreviews.bsky.social

Just finished Dreams of Chaos by @shaunalawless.bsky.social. The book very nicely picks up a few events happening prior to the epic Gael Song saga. Now I can’t wait to continue with Daughter of the Otherworld!

I was so delighted to hear I won this award! Thanks so much Eurocon!

Put this up for the night time crowd And to prove to you all that I can spell!

Dreams of Chaos, by @shaunalawless.bsky.social (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social) is another excellent prequel novella in the Gael Song saga; an exploration of Murchad's past and how it shaped his worldview. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/drea... 💙📚

Got a copy of the upcoming @shaunalawless.bsky.social book! Book 4 in the Gael Song series - which has been excellent so far.

Have just realised I spelt Chaos wrong… This is what happens when I use Canva too early in the morning Sigh 😞

Dreams of Chaos is out today!! I’m so excited to share Murchad’s backstory with you! This novella is also for those who want to know more about the history of mid 10th century Ireland! Link to buy is in the comments ⚔️
