Jane is someone I got to know while living in Ireland and just started figuring out this whole writing thing. Her novel, Cailleach~Witch, is unlike anything I've read as a fantasy enthusiast, and I'm really happy she agreed to answer some questions for us. :D

I reviewed a book. This one's definitely worth keeping an eye on.

It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and we do take a little time for reading ourselves, too. Today, we have a review of The Drowned Heir, by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, which is also a contender in the SFINCS novella competition. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-... #BookSky #AMoRaR #SFINCS

It's a Sunday morning in A Month of Rain & Reads, and we've got you something to read. In today's Guest Post, B.S.H. Garcia @bshgarcia.bsky.social talks about the power of ideas and how they can be explored through fiction. www.readindiefantasy.com/guest-posts-... #BookSky #AMoRaR

Please take a moment to appreciate this very, very small water sausage!

For a standalone: Blackburn Station, by @karenlucia.bsky.social For a series: Everything in the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper setting, by Natan Lowell. #AMoRaR #BookSky

We're kicking off the weekend with a spotlight for Memories of Sorcery and Sand by @authorjmac.bsky.social, a standalone portal fantasy with an intriguing character-driven plot where everyone has secrets or tell lies, or both! www.readindiefantasy.com/a-spotlight-...

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and somehow it's not actually raining. To tide you over until the weather cooperates, we'll share an interview with Millie Abecassis (@millieabecassis.com ecassis.com), author of A Legacy of Blood and Bone. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #BookSky #AMoRaR

Pet Adventurers!

Q: Are there fairytales in your fantasy world? A: Yes. 1. People need ways to explain what they don't understand. 2. People need the wondrous, even if magic exists. At the Road's End comes out on December 1st. Get a free pre-release copy here: dl.bookfunnel.com/1w8fhl8n0f

Today we're also celebrating the release of Apt To Be Suspicious by @celialake.bsky.social! The second book in the Liminal Mysteries series that explores the magical community of Britain after the Second World War: www.readindiefantasy.com/a-spotlight-...

It's Friday afternoon in A Month of Rain & Reads, and after a foggy morning, it's time for an interview. This time, we hear from author and game creator Dave Dobson (@davedobson.bsky.social) about the challenges of writing bios. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR #BookSky

From: At the Road's End Something hard poked into the small of her back, and when she tugged at her blanket, her feet came bare. Uncomfortable. Her bed smelled of old sweat, beer, and leftover pizza, or maybe that was herself. If she made any sudden movements, she’d throw up. #WIPSnips

Today as I went for coffee, I was a little concerned to see two ambulances parked outside the café. Fortunately, it seems it's just because the ambulance people like the same café I do.

I make it no secret I'm a huge fan of The Wandering Inn, but to change things up a little, I will instead pick The Blood Scouts, by Phil Williams. It's an excellent tale of a fantasy world gripped in something very similar to World War II. www.readindiefantasy.com/series-revie... #BookSky #AMoRaR

I've got another #SFINCS review for you, folks! I don't often read horror, but stories like these definitely make me think I should delve into the genre more. Full review ⬇️ weirdereviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/reap...

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and it's a great day for an interview. Today, we get to hear from Celia Lake (@celialake.bsky.social) about writing historical fantasy and about what it's really like to be a librarian. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR #BookSky

Make time for reading in your day, especially if you're also writing.

I like long walks and I cannot lie... (That's terrible, isn't it?) Anyway, how about a long leisurely journey, without much in the way of adventure? The one that comes to mind is the Tanyth Fairport series, by Nathan Lowell, but I think I mentioned that already, so I'll try again later.

Does this perchance come from "no frigate," or is that just me reaching for very low hanging fruit? :D

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

Hello #AwesomeCharacters This may actually be a major plot point later in my series. Toini's current animal aspect isn't well defined, but it would probably be a moose. Possibly a giant dire moose. Later it will change to a midnight lynx to symbolise her change in focus.

Gig: Paradise Lost I love going to shoes like this. Everyone is around my age or up, and it puts a lie to the myth that you need to be young to have fun. And sure, there are youngsters there too, but so what?

Gig: Messa Never heard of these guys before, and I only caught the last song, bit it was good enough I hurried down to the merch table to get a t-shirt so I'll remember to listen to them tomorrow.

From: At the Road's End Toini grimaced and stared into the fire. Compared to what happened in the jungle, Roy was nothing, but the memories still hurt. “I guess…” Her words trailed off and she lost herself in the dancing flames. “You two had a fight, didn’t you?” #WIPSnips

My book is the prize so don't miss this one!

We've got another review for you today, and this is a fun one by @edpool.bsky.social as he reviews Shadecursed: The Bestiary Book One by @chaoskirin.art! www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-... #AMoRaR

Are we leaning into the thing with the cat pictures too much? Maybe? Maybe not? I blame Bianca. :P

A trip, you say? Well, what more fitting a book than the strange and wonderful novella The Final Voyage of Avery Mothemere, by @whistberry.bsky.social I reviewed the book here: www.readindiefantasy.com/book-recomme... It may not have been a book for me, but I'm still happy to recommend it.

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

From: At the Road's End She paused to let that sink in. Put steel in her eyes. She was not a murderer. She was justice. Judge and executioner. Needles pricked her skin all over her neck and back. The vines in her hair sprouting thorns in reaction to her temper. #WIPSnips

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and it's Tuesday, which means it's Interview Day. Today, we hear from British multi-genre author Julian M. Miles (@rafellin.bsky.social), about the life he's lived, the stories he's told, and tales yet to come: www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR #BookSky

Today we're hosting a recommendation of Hidden Indie SFF Gems, including underrated fantasy and sci-fi, written by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-recom...

Today's giveaway challenge is up. My choice here is Blackburn Station, by @karenlucia.bsky.social I read it for last year's edition of the SFINCS novella competition, and I'm still a little disappointed that it didn't win (although the winner was good too).

Good Morning! #SameCanalEveryMorning

It's A Month of Rain & Reads - Day 3, and it's Interview O'Clock! The victim of today's questioning is none other than Lilly Lockwood (@voicesofvalhoon.bsky.social), whose book Songs of Broken Bells is the prize of today's giveaway. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR #BookSky

Our first post of the day is also our first review for #AMoRaR! @ormakal.bsky.social reviews The Seaglass Blade by @jcsnow.bsky.social which is currently running a Kickstarter to help fund this gorgeous hardcover edition! www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-... www.kickstarter.com/projects/jcs...

From: At the Road's End "Because you're my sister and I wanted to tell you something nice and make you smile." The words stumbled over each other in their hurry to escape, but she had to let them out before she overthought herself again. #WIPSnips

I've read about a lot of cool/interesting people over the years, but I'm not sure how many of them I'd actually like to spend time with. Most probably wouldn't be very good for my health or continued survival... That said, I'd pick Tanyth Fairport from the series by the same name, by Nathan Lowell.

The winner of our second #AMoRaR Daily Challenge is @kiraofthewind.com for choosing In the Name of Honor co-authored by Courtney and Clarke Collins, which features a cheese thief! Congratulations, you've won an audiobook code for My Boss is the Devil! 🥳

I have thoughts about this. Originally, one of my main goals with writing was to provide a reader with a solid escapist experience. I wanted readers to get lost in my books and forget the real world for a while, like the world they read about could be real and lived in. I think that's a rather

Hello #PretendPanel I'm not doing one this year. I have in the past, and it's been a mixed bag. Mostly, I ended up feeling stressed out because I missed my daily word count goal. This year, I help organise A Month of Rain & Reads, and that will keep me plenty busy. :)
