Book 18 of 2025 The Outcast Mage by @annabelcwrites.bsky.social Epic fantasy and perfect for fans of Trudi Canavan and S A Chakraborty. It has been very apt reading this while in Istanbul as this is also a land straddling East and West. Very much looking forward to the next instalment. 💙📚🪐 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫

Today on #TheCrookedMedium tour and let’s meet Victorian conwomen seeking justice in an entertaining tale The Crooked Medium’s Guide To Murder by @stephencoxauthor.bsky.social is out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/9/...

The Needfire, by @mkhardywrites.com (pub by @solarisbooks.bsky.social) is a great sapphic gothic novel, a proposal that blends classic motifs with a touch of modernity, perfect if you like highly atmospherical books. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

Oh yeah? Two can play at that game!!!

Always nice seeing my friends' books on the shelves in Galway ♥️ @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social @shonak.bsky.social @annabelcwrites.bsky.social @mytholder.bsky.social

That feeling when you’re having A Day at work and someone messages with ‘good job on x project’ - And you want to reply ‘Aaaaaaa thank you 😭😭😭😭 -snotty crying- I really needed this.’ …and instead you need to just reply ‘Cheers’ like a normal functioning human.

You almost get the same experience if you mention squash in Scotland or diluting juice in England. (I love this and Ncuti Gatwa so much)

Thanks to @waterstones.bsky.social St Andrews for having me today to sign some copies of Dark Crescent! Apparently it's been selling well there alongside other Scotland and folklore books which is super lovely to hear 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙✨️ @lunapress.bsky.social

Dreams of Chaos, by @shaunalawless.bsky.social (pub by @headofzeus.bsky.social) is another excellent prequel novella in the Gael Song saga; an exploration of Murchad's past and how it shaped his worldview. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/drea... 💙📚

Also, I took not a single photo at this event. Just a terrible selfie in front of my hotel bathroom?? I would love to Instagram about it, so if anyone has a photo I can use - I don’t have to be in it 😂 - please send my way. Honestly, the socials are not my strength.

I had the most incredible time at @strangeupnorth.bsky.social in Leeds yesterday. Such a wonderful event where I got to chat to just the loveliest bunch of SFF readers. Thank you to everyone who came and said hello and took a chance on a new author - you made my evening very special!
