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✨

🕯️🥀🍂 SHORT STORY 🍂🥀🕯️ One night, Jace finds a runaway in his barn. A boy with a horrifying story. ❌ no romance 🕸️ gothic-horror 📔 26 pages 🔖 universal link: mybook.to/b4aB7L 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/someone-else... 📖 goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

550 pages into Empire of the Dawn. Up to part 5, Redeemer. It’s a bloody masterpiece - emphasis on bloody. Dying to know how this will end (and a little terrified)

Can't believe it's already happening tomorrow! 🐉 Shadow of Legends is taking its first flight over on #kickstarter. Follow to pick up either of its gorgeous editions! #dragons #dragonrider #fantasybooks

There’s something about the morning sun streaming through the window

Welcome to the world, Riley Williams 👦. A bit early, but maybe you wanted to be born in the same month as your mother. Or perhaps you were just worried about combined birthday and Christmas presents 😂.

The APPEAL of VAMPIRES 🧛 Ep. 179 airs tomorrow, with @misterkristoff.bsky.social telling co-hosts @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social & Greta Kelly why he chose to write about vampires in his Empire of the Vampire trilogy. Available Nov. 4 in audio/video: linktr.ee/SFFAddicts youtube.com/@FanFiAddict

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

Had a great chat with Aaron Cordy on his channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUfM...

What are you reading? 📖 I’ve got 3 on the go. Tonight it’s The Devils. 40% in. Certainly fun. Fav. characters = Sunny and Vigga-Wolf (“Where was the good meat?”)

Very excited to help celebrate wirh @spotlightindie.bsky.social!! Happy year one of supporting indie authors!

Oh, come off it... This is your 'expert marketing team' that you just can't stop emailing about? Well, I can't stop laughing.

Picked up a new book today 📚 Love internal art Love the anticipation of a 5 star read

🎨 New Art Reveal! 🎨 This piece features Tal battling a centaur-ish creature called an ijiraq. I love how she turned out! At least 3 more artworks still to come for An Emperor's Gamble - stay tuned for the reveals. 🏷️ Art by Anderson Magalhães #fantasyart #fantasybooks #kickstarter

(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.

Such a great character origin short story, @tbcart.bsky.social I was hooked from pg 1: “Did he want to be a healer? Well, he didn’t not want to be a healer.”

Mark your calendars for September 16th for the 3rd Legend of Tal special edition! We originally had it launching yesterday, but to make sure all the books arrived first, we pushed it back a couple weeks. Not long now, though, until An Emperor's Gamble Deluxe is here! #author #fantasy

🤍 estranged husbands 🥺 close brothers x2 🗡️ an mc who is 100% done 🐺 a love interest ready to grovel 🏫 a haunted, gothic school 🔍 buried secrets ❄️ snowy setting 🔖 universal link: mybook.to/aBMB 💌 itch.io link: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/the-strange-... 📖 gr: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

A Drop of Corruption deserves the highest praise. I adored The Tainted Cup, and, to my mind, this is even better! Oh how I’ve missed Din and Ana. The mystery is to die for. And the world building steps more into the limelight. I’m 80% through, and can’t wait to see how it ends!

First Saturday of the mth = a writing session with a friend at the library ✍️ 📖 . And what weather for the walk there and back. Writers - what are you working on? 📚
