I read A Dragon of The Veil by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social some time ago and found it deep, ambitious, original. Now the first novel in this series is back in a new guise, with an absolutely stunning cover, and with two sequels A City of Ashes, and A Queen in Blood 🔥

#coverreveal 🔸THE SILVER CRYSTAL by #RyanLanz C'mon, Ryan, you're really firing the big guns here 🤣🤣🤣 I need this NOW!

Let's go!! Really enjoyed book 1, stoked to see more indie authors getting it done! 190k words... oh my goodness.

⚔️ TITLE REVEAL ⚔️ I'm honoured that @monteroauthor.bsky.social asked me to help reveal the title for the sequel to THE CRIMSON FIRE. Without further ado, book 2 is THE SUNRISE DAGGER 🗡️. And check out that title font (love the A and the E). Cover reveal during the Fall, and release next year 🔥

🗡️ TITLE REVEAL 🗡️ The sequel to The Crimson Fire is coming. It’s called THE SUNRISE DAGGER 🌅🔥 🔸190k words 🔸6 POVs 🔸More action. More lore. 🔸More betrayal. 🔸And yes, the emotional damage is worse. 🔸Coming early 2026. Cover drops in Sept.

The Memories of Kenjir, Book 2, Title reveal. Y'all are NOT not ready 💀⚔️🦅 Tomorrow 🔥

"The pacing is good, the action is really visceral, really, really strong action. If you like dark fantasy, this will be right up your alley." Thanks @sffinsiders.com Thanks @monteroauthor.bsky.social #booksky #darkfantasy #fantasy www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

Friends of the book world, show off your book nooks, let me see a glimpse of pure bookish joy!

Another possible favorite book of the year, THE EUROPAN DECEPTION by Ryan M. Patrick Read the full review at @sffinsiders.com www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

The Council of Athyzia, by DH Hoskins, is a deep and well crafted political Fantasy! Here's my full review: @sffinsiders.com www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

In case you missed it, @monteroauthor.bsky.social has reviewed my twisted, action-filled dark fantasy, A Dragon of the Veil, for SFFInsiders. I think I blew his mind. For a fantasy with a difference, check out: www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-... #booksky #fantasybooksky #fantasybookreview 💙🐉📚⚔️

The second book of Memories of Kenjir is already written and will go into revision in the coming weeks. The title? You will find out on June 18. And the cover riveal is not far away 🔥🔥🔥 Are you ready?

The galaxy is expanding & time is rotting, futurepast is looping around a circle rather than spiraling into new iterations, & a great nothingness awaits humanity. That's bad, right? Probably? Another great offer from @wickwelker.bsky.social ! Launches 16.May'25! #booksky #bookrecommendations 📕📚

This is probably the longest review I have ever written, and one of the most complex. The Lingering Haze of Destiny: A Meditation on Janny Wurts' The Curse of the Mistwraith Read it on @sffinsiders.com

Thanks. I look forward to delving into this story, #TheCrimsonFire.

Almost a week of The Crimson Fire. This story has burned my heart and mind for years, and now it is in your hands. Thank you to everyone who has given my novel a chance, and to everyone who is just now getting to know me, welcome! This is just the beginning! www.amazon.com/Crimson-Fire...

It's been a big week for Indie Fantasy! SPFBO 2024 has crowned a champion, and fellow BookTuber @monteroauthor.bsky.social released his debut epic fantasy novel! If you're a fan of political intrigue, and classic epic fantasy, I highly recommend checking it out! #booksky #indiefantasy #fantasybook

W O W 🔥

In case you missed it: The new #SPFBO champion! #SPFBOX It has the fewest Goodreads ratings of any champion in our 10 years. Just over 100... So it's a true discovery. Let's do what this contest was designed to do and go change its fortunes. Buy a copy. Do now, before you forget!

Thank you Annette!💚

I was too overwhelmed yesterday to do a proper release day post, but many of you helped to spread the world and that makes me feel even happier and more grateful. Yes, The Crimson Fire is out right now! 🔥🔥🔥

Watch the video! youtu.be/xBxLQhvfrnc?...

"Elegant, razor-sharp, and deeply affecting. It peels back the layers of emotional abuse with haunting beauty, then stitches hope into the wounds." Check @monteroauthor.bsky.social review of Dance With Me! There are also some amazing authors in that video, so check it out! 👇🏻

Fool's Promise is out on audio tomorrow, everywhere you like to listen to books! 🥳 Sequel to #SPFBO Finalist FORTUNE'S FOOL! Gritty Renaissance-inspired political fantasy with a series-long romance 💙🪐🎧📚 #BookSky #writesky #epicfantasy #indieauthor #indiebooks #indiefantasy #SFF #audiobooksky

Such an honor to see my book there! Thank you Andrew! 🫶

This made my day 🔥

@torbooks.bsky.social just informed me The First Binding is part of a special editorial's best books sale they're doing where it's 2.99 on sale on all ebook retailers. Can I get some reshares/signal boosts? bookshop.org/p/books/the-... books2read.com/links/ubl/e/... Bookshop dot org--

Woke up to this book review of The Wrecking Squad. Nice way to start your day. This guy read all 8 of my Weapons of Choice books and I thought would be a tough audience with a new action scifi series. Phew! #scifibooks #scifi 💙📚

Trying to make marketing videos in my car with the windows rolled up because it’s the only quiet place I have except it’s really starting to warm up… Don’t market in a hot car, kids 🥵 Anyway, the audio for Fool’s Promise is out April 29 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiefantasy Books2read.com/foolspromise
