As always, I'm an unrepentant TWI fanboy. :D

A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Read Indie Fantasy! May readers keep finding awesome indie books, and may indie authors find many sales in the new year! 🥳

Good Morning! Fog over lake Vänern, just outside Vänersborg, Sweden.

The second round of SFINCS3 has begun, and the teams have been assigned their books. These are the books assigned to Team TBR: www.readindiefantasy.com/sfincs-team-... We're excited to get started! :D #SFINCS #BookSky

Wishing you more this Yuletide xxxx

I reviewed a book, again. This one's awesome.

Throughout the week, we announced Team TBR's semi-finalists for the SFINCS novella competition. To round things off, we're sharing one last post listing all five books: www.readindiefantasy.com/sfincs-semi-... These are all excellent, and you should read them. #SFINCS #BookSky

Happy Soupturday! Today's pumpkin, bell pepper, and tomato soup day - and it's delicious.

And, if you'd like to read more about him but are a wee bit daunted by the whole '500k word serial' thing: finn-mclellan.itch.io/the-girl-who... (Though seriously, mind the content warnings)

New page of the Innverse webcomic is out! Looks like something she ate didn't agree with her. 📖 Ch 15 Pg 4 webcomic.wanderinginn.com/chapter-15-p... What happened to those fish?

I am doing a terrible job of advertising this but my books are currently on sale. It's fun to write and publish books but it is also fun when people read them! 😂

I'm not 100% sure that's how it works, Steve?

We've reached the end of Round One for #SFINC3 and it couldn't have been harder to narrow our list down to just five titles. We only just about managed it! But alongside these semi-finalists, we also wanted to shout out some reading highlights! grimoireinkreviews.wordpress.com/2025/12/19/s...

We had a lot of great books in our batch, and picking the top five was no easy task. If the other teams had books as good as ours, the next round is going to be interesting indeed... ;)

Christmas can be exhausting for autistic people. Here are a few reasons why and what you can do to help the autistic people in your life (and yourself!)

W00t! Tickets for Anne Clark and Garbage secured. Some nice gigs to look forward to next year. :D

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

Thursday is easing into the afternoon, and we're here to ease another semi-finalist onto our list. www.readindiefantasy.com/sfincs-semi-... This one's a different take on changing the world, perhaps, kind of? Read it and find out. #SFINCS #BookSky

I gotta show off the cover for my serial that @sorenhaxan.bsky.social did. It's phenomenal.

This one's a delight, and you should read it. @erynmccee.bsky.social - is this on your radar, or did you already read it?

It's semi-finalist announcement time again. :D

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

For the second day of the week, we want to present Team TBR's second semi-finalist for the SFINCS novella competition. www.readindiefantasy.com/sfincs-semi-... This one's a gripping little horror story, and we wish the author the best of luck in the next round. #SFINCS #BookSky

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

From: At the Road's End For a moment, she pretended she was a little girl making a blanket fort, and then she remembered she’d never made a blanket fort when she was little and didn’t know how. #WIPSnips

In no particular order... We've got some semi-finalists for you. It's been real tight at the top, so we've got some amazing books to share with you over the coming week. #SFINCS

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

From: At the Road's End Paivi Aurora Riveniemi. Barkeep. Her pub, her bar, her crowd. A Babe In Total Control of Herself, like it said on a novelty fridge magnet she’d stolen when she was fifteen. #WIPSnips (yes, the capitalisation is correct)

I can’t tell you how much I love this book. It’s a warm hug at the end of a long day

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

All week, I've been thinking I should make some nice promo images to promote my book. Except, I usually only remembered as I was about to fall asleep. Tonight, though, I don't need to get up to work in the morning. So... Buy and read my book: mybook.to/GoneHome1 (please) #BookSky

Hello #PretendPanel This year helped me define the concept of "being in the story" and how important it is. It's that space of mind, where the story is at the fore of my mind at any idle moment, where the characters come alive in my head, and where the imaginary world is the realer one.

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

crying shaking throwing up etc BLUDEYE BEACH 👁️ (digital format only) will be released on January 1st, 2026! (If you want a physical copy, don't worry! That'll be available soon after ❤️) #writingcommunity #indiewriters #hqpress

Hello #AwesomeCharacters! Dance. Toni loves to dance. Most of all she loves going to a rave in some distant forest glade or hidden beach and dance the night through. Through her god and her spiritual attunement, she'll sense how the energy of the dancers revitalises the land.

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

It's that time of the year where I get to share this jaunty video again. Seasons Greetings from the dark, terrible world of the Blood Scouts!

Hello #AwesomeCharacters As a paladin, Toini went by the name Toulikki of the Leaf and Pond, and few, if anyone, knew her real name. For a brief period when she was 17, she introduced herself as Tea, to be cool, but she grew out of that pretty soon. Now she picks it up again.

I signed up, and so should you!

Get on it!

I finished checking the paperback for errors. Yes, there were some, but not enough to make me embarrassed. I'll fix them tomorrow. For now, I'll leave you with the last line of my author bio:

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

From: At the Road's End She wished Raoul would be back already. Not that she ever really talked to him, but now that he wasn’t there, it felt empty. Like she no longer cast a shadow and wasn’t that a melodramatic thing to think. #WIPSnips

A recent exchange reminded me about one of the main themes of my book, and five minutes later I came across this passage which spells it out word for word. (I'm currently going through the paperback to check for spelling and typography issues). Link: mybook.to/GoneHome1

✨Happy book birthday to me! ✨ Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume II ebook is out now wherever you can buy or borrow (Kobo Plus, Everand, Overdrive, Hoopla) ebooks! Retailers: books2read.com/talesv2 Itch: narratess.itch.io/tales-of-lun... #booksky 💙📚

Hello #AwesomeCharacters At the start of At The Road's End, Toini's plan for the future is to spend a few days with her sister and then turn herself over to the inquisition, which would likely end in a death sentence. Not much of a future, really, but she's tired of running and failing.
