A Murder of Crows, the final Riftborn book. Out 20th January. Preorder now.

Norse myth chaos, sharp humour, and brilliant women who feel real. Mums, fighters, banter, fast action, and pure fun. Not flawless, but wildly enjoyable and easy to devour. Highly recommended. 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction #SFFbookRecommenfation #WomenInSFF

I couldn't agree more with this.

All-time favourite will forever be the original Zelda - Links Awakening. We played it on the TV via a SNES adapter, the whole family helping with puzzles and remembering ways. 2nd is Super Mario World SNS 3rd Dr Mario I still play all three today 😅 Those things were made for eternity!

Today's review: Gritty Stone Age fantasy with a strong sense of everyday survival. A travelling tribe, no swords or knights, and giant birds and beasts. Something quite different! fantasy-faction.com/2026/under-t... 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction #SFFbookRecommenfation

"I was having a pretty good day until the crab men tried to kill me." I have a $0.99 BookBub dropping tomorrow for Investigation, Mediation, Vindication, but the sale starts today if you want to get in first. Comedic urban fantasy starring a San Diego slacker who gets in way, way over his head.

weatherwaxreport.blog/2026/01/04/s... I should have included my blog in that post. I'm a silly, impulsive, ADHD infused human.

So #SPFBO is under way! Our ( @fantasyfaction.bsky.social ) batch is a wild mix of things, and I can't wait to dive in! I can't believe this is already the 11th year running and my 10th year of judging... I don't feel old enough! #SPFBO11

90 minutes left to enter #SPFBO 11!

Ahhh! My books are in a local bookstore!

Finally was awake/coherent on the right day to submit to #SFBO. I debated between See These Bones and Speaker of Tongues, but went with the latter as I think it (even as a LitRPG) is better suited for a wider (i.e. random) judging audience than angry boi Damian. It was a tough choice though!

I submitted my book. It's the first one, out of 12, that's eligible for entry, so it's the first time I'm going for it. Obviously, I'll be disappointed if I don't make it past the lottery, but I'll get over it soon enough. ;) Best of luck to everyone else hoping to take part.

Also highly recommended! Quite the strong contrast to my other book recommended today 😅 Had to use some stickers and layers to get Galli in the "mood" for this... Still can't get closer to an angry Church! Review: fantasy-faction.com/2025/review-...

Highly recommended! Cosy-dark fantasy comfort with teeth. Found family, sharp banter, gentle romance, and moments that remind you this world has danger. Evil queens, strong coffee, wintery magic, and warmth earned, not handed out. More here: fantasy-faction.com/2026/wooing-...

I've entered Venomborn! Fingers crossed I get through the lottery into the competition! 🤞

Can your book join the #SPFBO champions? Entry to the 11th annual contest opens tomorrow! It's free... 🙂

And just like that #spfbo is entered Last time round I didn't even get out of the lottery (go and try The Thirteenth Prince, a fantasy epic w is the caper qualities) so I'm hoping for better for my romantasy The Mercy of Tenderness

Just entered my first SPFBO! Good luck to everyone else who’s submitted. Fingers crossed for getting into the lucky 300 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 #spfbo #fantasybooks #fantasywriter #fantasyreader #darkfantasy

So... I'm trying this #SPFBO thing again. Wish me luck.

Entered 🤞 #SPFBO #FantasyBooks

Well, the Envoys of War has been submitted for SPFBO XI... Now we wait!

So, i've just submitted my self published urban fantasy novel Frostfeld - The Mourning Son (Available digitally everywhere) to the 11th Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off completion. You immediately miss every shot not taken. This year I mean to take every shot.

I wanted to do more pics again, so for #ScienceFictionDay: This is funny, thoughtful, and quietly sharp. A robot valet without a master, a broken world full of odd AIs, and big questions about purpose, humanity, and consciousness. I will miss Uncharles and The Wink. 💙📚🪐 #SciFi

Happy New SPFBO! Uhm.. Year I mean of course... #SelfPublished authors of fantasy, go and have a look, and see if your book might be legible for my favourite contest!

Hi, I'm a tourist plane for scenic flights, that crashed. I'd either have killed you in the crash, or in the crowd waiting to be let in, as it was your birthday. Unfortunately you refused to go, despite the tickets being expensive!

Strap into your spaceship and set course for 2026. May your engines run on wonder, your star maps lead to dragons, and the journey ahead be rich with stories and brave adventures. Might be a bit early for a Happy New Year, but I'm not sure I'll even be awake at midnight 😉
