A Graveyard for Heroes by @michaelbookcult.bsky.social "Michael Michel takes the grim dark element of fantasy by the scruff, and lets it know who’s the boss." Read Vivian's full review here grimoireinkreviews.wordpress.com/2025/06/16/a...

A Graveyard for Heroes by @michaelbookcult.bsky.social succeeds in delivering a compelling, entertaining, & satisfying sequel to The Price of Power. It further raises the stakes while getting the reader to care deeply about the fates of its characters & the direction of where this is all headed!

@michaelbookcult.bsky.social visits FBC to chat with Adam W. about his series DREAMS OF DUST & STEEL, the vibrant world within & the prequel novellas

A Graveyard for Heroes is out! Finally!

FUN

Happy Friday! A new month starts this weekend, and June is dropping a ton of goodies to get you going, from @mhayinde.bsky.social, @obeytheauthor.bsky.social, @michaelbookcult.bsky.social & many others! Check it out! wolfmantula.com/2025/05/30/n...

Not too shabby, UK, not too shabby.

@anthonyryan.bsky.social Thank you for introducing my work to a new reader :-)

You can now check out my world map on my site, and if you click it, YOU CAN OWN ONE! Happy to have this partnership for any and all canvas with Noble Dwarf. Great place! michaelmichelauthor.com/world-map/

HAPPY RELEASE DAY A novel that tackles grief and aging as much as the terrors within the small town of Fairview Acres. Jerry Campbell is shining light of our fears, our hopes, as well as underlying strength. A great main @shortwavebooks.bsky.social @toddkeisling.com fanfiaddict.com/review-the-s...

I got a mugshot, and I didn't have to go to jail to get it. One of these is going to a Giveaway winner in my Discord, currently running until the end of April. Say, "I like sippy sippy," in the comments if you want the link to join!

Started on the signature sheets for The Infernus Gate - 7th and final novella in the Seven Swords series. Coming in September from @subpress.bsky.social Watch out for pre-orders soon. #booksky

HARBACK ALERT The dust-jacket with naked art underneath is live and FINALLY priced correctly. Michael 1 - Bezos 0.

In case you missed watching someone's slow descent into madness and wondered what it looked like...

Also, if you're not Bill's friend, you should also get it. Then again, why wouldn't you be Bill's friend?!!!

Great prose, exciting action scenes, heart pounding moments, great characters and voice - I am eager to see where this goes. 🪐📚💙 @michaelbookcult.bsky.social #booksky #fantasybook #indiebook

Pretty gold border. Fun fact: my placeholder ARC for long ago had a gold border and it was actually pretty cool.

Hey all, don't forget to join @michaelbookcult.bsky.social and me tomorrow (Apr 7th) at 4:30 PM Central to discuss The Price of Power - youtube.com/live/nwY1Kcz...

Some books I'd recommend grabbing: An Inkling of Flame by @zbsteele.bsky.social Seasons of Albadone by Elan Marche and @chrisrwarman.bsky.social War Song by @michaelbookcult.bsky.social The Fall Is All There Is by @cmcaplanwrites.bsky.social

Now we're cooking. It brings me joy to be recommended to readers of Mark Lawrence now that I just finished Prince of Thorns this week. Stellar book.

Honored to have a shoutout from the highly decorated and respected, Anthony Ryan.

Awesome way to start a launch :-). Glad you like that kicker in the last 30%

Thank you!

One of my lesser known works getting some love! Probably my best title though. Lol.

So glad you liked it, my man. I've got good and bad news. Bad news: it'll be a minute before I finish the series, but when I get the chance, it'll go fast. Good news: I'm focused on the epic and massive Dreams of Dust & Steel series. If you get into that, there are a lot of book coming your way!

Bad news breaker incoming.

Stop it AI, you're making me blush.

If you've got an upcoming Kickstarter and need extra art swag, Rachel is the best. Highest recommendation.

Brewed expressly for mages, demons & thieves. *not to be consumed by the faint of heart* Had loads of fun designing these coasters as one of AC Cobble’s Benjamin Ashwood Kickstarter rewards! 🍻

Now would be a good time to join "The Cult" Discord. Win some swag, meet some great folk, who knows!

Boosting

Sale alert!

Readers, only 2 days left to enter! kingsumo.com/g/36jdp9m/ep...

Ya'll, I finally fuckin' caved. From "Death Dance." "The later into the night they went, the greater the chance of an altercation. With this in mind, Danath found the seediest dripping bucket of an inn he could--which just so happened to be called the Dripping Bucket."

Why thank you, good sir. Can't wait to intro you to the rest!

Go on and get it, folk!

Hope the family is doing ok. Have started The Price of Power by @michaelbookcult.bsky.social, been meaning to read it for ages. And Maiden of Storms by @matthewzorich.bsky.social. Second after Barstards of liberty in The Conspiracy of Crows Trilogy.

Important reminder about the mega sale, it's for a good cause.

Awesome book sale just seen on another site that may or may not have been shared by @michaelbookcult.bsky.social . Tons of cool titles including by @christullbane.bsky.social and @gmnair.bsky.social !! CHECK IT OUT!!! And they even have the links for my region!! SWOON!!! yrliu.com/megasale/2024/

OH! OH! Or maybe that should be HO HO HO! And just in time for the release of book 2, Thunder Kraken, on January 7! Thank you FBC! 🐙♥️🐙♥️🐙

Was Bluesky a flash in the pan? For 500 followers, I'm getting almost zero engagement on any post. Thoughts?

If you've never been an ARC reader--that means you get an advance copy of a book in exchange for an honest review--or you've never been one for me, then it might be time to rectify this egregious oversight. Come have a blast with The Cult! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Longest book he's ever read? Hell yeah. What an honor!

@jakepaull.bsky.social can you and I challenge these tools to a cage match?
