🎭Cover reveal time #booksky🎭 Our Ways Unmasked by @cblansdell.bsky.social, the second book in her Apidecca Duology! Check out the cover, which was also drawn by CB! willowwraithpress.com/2026/02/12/c...

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 12: Comfort Reads Classic children's literature always makes me feel better. Stories from Peter Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh are quick enough to reread if you're short on time.

Only 1 day left!

There is so much about this review that made me happy, thanks for reading! 💙

I took my novelette out of KU some time ago. It's ready to go wide, but I haven't had the capacity to upload it (because of an impending cover reveal). Hoping to put it on Itch. io quite soon though.

📢COVER REVEAL📢 I have the privilege of helping with the reveal for @zbsteele.bsky.social's upcoming sequel: Rising Gale "The noose beckons. My days dwindle. And still, my story is unfinished." I've heard a rumour you can sign up for beta/ARCs already so check the next skeet too👀

Thank you, Bill Adams, for showing me this review. Very pleased with some of the things mentioned here ☺️ Review: The Tidelings of Dras Sayve (The Apidecca Duology #0.5) by C.B.

Cover reveal countdown ⏱️

Broadcasting Live... ...Death Show Colossus is now on Kickstarter! A deluxe edition in both paperback and dust-jacketed hardcover, with loads of artwork, custom headers, custom endpapers, & other cool things! Check out the link below #booksky

🍇 LOST TRADITIONS is out! The Chronicles of Nerezia continue as the Wagon Crew traverses a haunted marsh and find a ruined monastery. It's a "TFW your bestie gets possessed by the remnants of a martial arts master, and they're a rude motherfucker to boot" Buy it: buy.bookfunnel.com/pw9lfydyyw

To those who only see numbers, AI is a boon. To those who love art, it’s repulsive. We are not the same.

The last letter before we begin the countdown to the reveal.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders The metaphysical doesn't have a lot of page time in my books, but I got to explore it more in my sequel. There is the Unseen Realm, which is the dimension of spirits and the knyad god rather than physical beings. Some spirits also inhabit the natural realm... 1/2

Adding a letter to the first word today.

Or do you like your MMC naive and in way over his head, where his consciousness is transferred into mech camera/birds? If so, here's Benn Strife from Death Show Colossus Naked cover art by Helena Nikulina #booksky

Today's letter is another "a" (you now have all the a's in the title).

Thank you so much, Erika. Yes, biological gender isn't really a measurable thing for my knyads. Though by adulthood many (but not all) will describe themselves with "he" or "she" pronouns.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 5: My personality traits in my characters I probably make a similar first impression to Prismer: quiet. But, when I'm comfortable around people, I can be almost as chatty as Oklas. Like Keanon, I need an animal companion. And I hope to one day be as encouraging as Dy.

Time for a word puzzle. Over the next few days, I'm going to be sharing little clues about the title of Book 2. The full title / cover reveal is 1 week away.

I know this isn't a proper answer, but virtually my entire library consists of books by people from the UK, US, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, and more. Finding more from my own country is the challenge. I have 2 books from South African authors to get to.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 3: Does MC believe in soulmates? I think so. My ace character is quite careful with her energy, so she shares it with people thoughtfully.

I had a great time chatting with Ryan about writing English when it's not your first language. I hope our conversation might inspire some fellow ESL/EAL writers!

#FantasyIndiesFebruary Day 2: Romance in WIP There may actually be a little in this one. Ace characters can still feature in stories about relationships.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders Day 1: Does your world have a name? Yes. The habitable moon is Knyadrea. It's unclear whether the knyads named the world after themselves or themselves after their world. They haven't shared their early history with me.

#FantasyIndiesFebruary @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social Day 1: Introduction Hello! I'm Coe, a SFF writer. On 12 February I am doing a title and cover reveal for the sequel to Far Removed. It's been nearly 3 years in the making, so I can't wait to share this with you!

Andrés was kind enough to review my duology sequel in its beta phase (we are just a couple of weeks away from the cover reveal now). I know the changes I've made since receiving his feedback have definitely brought out the best in it!

#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 31: Monthly Wrap Up I can't think of what to share, but you can check my blog post if you're curious about what I've been up to.

My January blog post is up! It's mostly about my book release schedule this year, but it also touches on SPFBO. cblansdell.com/2026/01/29/j...

"My engines are going full speed astern" 🥲 too accurate

Lilje, a chronically ill water nymph from Reflections of Lilje Damselfly, is such a beautiful soul. Her author, @nataliekelda.bsky.social also writes her struggles from personal experience 🪷

20 Climbers. 20 Watchers. 5 Hunters. 1 Colossus. We are delighted to share @williamjadams3.bsky.social's cover for Death Show Colossus! Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea... Add to GR: www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... Art info below! 🧵

It's my pleasure to help reveal the cover of Death Show Colossus, a new fantasy novel written by @williamjadams3.bsky.social. Cover by Felix Ortiz with typography by Dewey Conway. Releasing May 26th, 2026 Full info: jamreads.com/reveals/cove... 💙📚

Tomorrow all shall be revealed

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, let's not forget that savagery can be gradual & inhumane acts are easier to repeat if one forgets.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Day 26: The various enforcer divisions are based in different parts of the city of Apidecca. The street-level enforcers of a lower rank come to know the areas they patrol well, but the higher-ups coordinate all the divisions.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 25: Animals in WIP Nesta makes a return for a few scenes, but is kept out of harm's way. Fun fact: I had no idea my bird-dog shared a name with an ACOTAR character when I strung those letters together 😅. Oklas also befriends a little feline-bat creature.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders Oh, I can join for this question. One notable general in Apidecca's past is Ukhon Bekleme. After a failed coup attempt, he went into hiding. There is also a board of 5 generals who weren't named in Far Removed, but may get more page-time in the sequel.

I had a great time painting the Humboldt squid peeking out here (and other parts of the cover). Catch up with this thrilling short story now! 🦑

#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 21: Who does MC look up to? Mentors come up quite a bit in my writing. In my interactive short story (on Unearthed Stories), Abulon wants to emulate the head carer, Cimmeri. In The ToDS novelette, Oklas meets his future mentor, Emis.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 20: Your hobbies Art-making (it's my job but it'll always be a hobby too), dog-training, hiking, and swimming. I need to get back into gardening but we're having a drought, so I'm just keeping established plants alive.

💜💚

Bluesky! A question: what upcoming (say 2026-2028) aspec releases are there? I've fallen off keeping track of overall releases and I'm trying to get back to that. Right now I know of, like, 14 and about half of them are my friends and myself.

This is such a fun cast. After painting them, I'm now meeting some of them in the Envoys audiobook 🥰

#FantasyIndiesJanuary Day 16: How do characters handle stress? You can handle it? One of my MCs tries to outrun it and the other bottles it.
