🎉 @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, @thefoolstale.bsky.social and I are running a HUGE giveaway on Insta 🎉 If you’re there too, come celebrate the signed and numbered editions of Perils of the Past (by me) and Tomb of Tomes by Andrew Watson. Get in the running to win them both, plus a bonus art card!

I feel I need some 'sandcastle therapy' after finishing this one. Oh, it's incredible, don't get me wrong. But it's darker than I'd expected.  From the world-building to the prose, from the mysteries to the epic scale, this is one hell of a book. Bring on book 3!

Meeting IRL 🙌 - cheers, @hobbitholebooks.bsky.social. Great to catch up. Glad 🇦🇺 is treating you well. P.S., Everyone - Matt is one chilled, interesting, well read and very well traveled guy! If you’re not following him already, get on that.

The latest issue of Clarkesworld is out. Wow, I'm blown away by 'Remember Me in the Meat' by @sarahpauling.bsky.social! Incredible. Absolutely incredible!

Check out this cover reveal 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A new review just landed on Goodreads from the one and only S.K. Putt - thank you! All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Those don't even come close to how beautiful it is. Seriously, I struggled to pick which part of it to quote here! No better feeling than your book connecting ✨📖

❓What are you reading? 📖 I was a little nervous for The Strength of the Few. I loved book 1 and had heard mixed experiences about book 2. But pleased to say it’s working for me! Yep, all the POVs. 270 pages in and still a bit off half way (😂). Excited to see where it goes

Thrilled to announce that @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social is selling the jacketed hardcover of Perils of the Past: • Hand-signed and numbered • Limited to 100 copies • with a bonus A5 double-sided colour art card. I had a blast signing tip-in sheets. And the art cards came out so well. 🔗👇

Imagine these 4 books arguing over which is the closest to Perils of the Past 😂 📖 ✨

Excited to dive into this (and a smidge nervous, given some of the reviews I’ve seen and how much I loved book 1). Also, yeah, it’s a properly thick book!

Day made!

Love this interior artwork Anderson Magalhães did for Perils of the Past. So much so that I needed it on my wall. Just hung this Christmas present in the study - and so happy with it. Q: Do you have any book art, e.g. a poster on your wall or a tattoo?

Ahhh! My books are in a local bookstore!

Submitted Perils of the Past to #SPFBO. Fingers crossed I make it past the lottery (and, if you've entered, I hope you do, too). Best of luck, all. What an incredible comp.

Nothing like starting the day receiving an AI-written sales email that mistakes my novel’s tagline for the title 🤣🤣🤣

What have you read recently? I’ve had a blast with my recent reads. Here are my last 3 trad and last 3 indies:

Bub’s first Christmas 🎄 - and, yes, books 📚 were certainly involved 🎁

📝 400+ pages 🥀 urban fantasy 🌃 set in washington state 🔥 slow burn 🤍 romance and angst 🗡️ demons and vampires 📕 first in a duology 🔖 universal link: mybook.to/D3rL5 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/the-wish-and... 📖 goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy is one of my most memorable reads. Can't wait to read her latest. I was blown away when I saw my library has 17 copies - and then again when all of them are out with 50+ people on the waiting list. Success well deserved!

Had a lot of fun reading Digital Ravens - thanks, S.K. Putt. This cyberpunk novella has high stakes plus plenty of tech and action. It could perhaps be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed after P.A.R.A_LYZE

So little to go now, so much hanging in the balance (my finger marking what I’ve read)

Just restocked Better Read Than Dead (awesome local bookstore in Newtown, Sydney, 🇦🇺) with signed copies of Perils of the Past 📖. Thanks for continuing to give my story a home on your lovely shelves and for supporting local authors✨

Hi! I'm Rebecca! I write a mix of fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery and romance. (Or some mishmash thereof.) My childhood fears included spiders, cockroaches and The Ring (amongst other things). #HorrorWritersChat

Your reminder that libraries take requests. They want to stock the books their community loves Mine just ordered The Art of Legend by Wesley Chu after I suggested it👏📚 Can't wait to start the final book of this incredible trilogy, and for other library readers to do so, too

✨ First Interstate Bookstore ✨ While I now live in Sydney, I grew up in Victoria. Thus, I’m so excited to have signed copies of Perils of the Past on the shelves of Woodland Collection Bookstore. If you’re in or near Bendigo, VIC 🇦🇺, drop in

(Content sigh.) What a lovely weekend. Chatted with a writing buddy. Finished a short story. Did a podcast interview (coming soon). Got my newsletter out. Read. Hit the gym. Went on a walk. Caught up with family.
