As if on cue, the chatgpt-powered book "marketers" are oozing into my inbox. Author buddies: if someone named "Ashley Monroe" sends you an email offering to market your book, tell em to get fucked.

Gonna read a book with giant lizard monsters!

ARC REVIEW: THE BONE RAIDERS OR… WOW!!! Hello everyone! I hope your week is going well! In the last couple of days, we had some really autumnal weather, and I am pretty happy about it (going to work while it pours down is not fun, but at this moment, I don't really care), and I am quite excited to…

THE BONE RAIDERS is an epic fantasy with tons of heart, equal parts serious and fun. I had a great time in the Tapestry, and can’t wait to see what Jackson Ford does with the sequel. 🪐📚💙 #BookReview 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/review-the-b...

I had another awesome week of reading, so make sure to check out my latest #WWWWednesday post, including outstanding books by #RFkuang, @anthonyryan.bsky.social, @realjacksonford.bsky.social, #TerryPratchett and more. unseenlibrary.com/2025/09/12/w...

Thanks @realjacksonford.bsky.social that’s awesome to hear especially coming from you. That absolutely makes my day.

The Bone Raiders, by Jackson Ford (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is a fun and badass epic fantasy novel, perfect if you are looking for a group of memorable female characters, found family and a giant lizard that breaths fire. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

Everyone: Your job, on this fine Sunday, is to read @tbcart.bsky.social's novella Majordomo. It is a joy. Terrific characters, frequently hilarious storytelling...and often absolutely heartbreaking. Best kind of story. www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Everyone should have two copies 💛

Current reading: Eye of the Sh*t Storm by @realjacksonford.bsky.social This series is great. I highly recommend it.

Oh didn't I mention this?

I got chills just reading this

Live now :) Having a blast listening to these two. @jeremyszal.bsky.social @realjacksonford.bsky.social @galaxybookshop.bsky.social

Just finished Project Hail Mary on audio, which was ok but felt like The Martian 2. Fabulous narrator though. Currently reading The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford

That's nothing. Page 444 is really going to bake your noodle.

Do I have readers in Australia? Will I commit a horrible cultural faux pas? Is this event going to become a strange urban legend in the area where nobody really knows what happened but everybody has a theory? COME ON DOWN AND FIND OUT

People of Sydney! I'll be doing am event this Saturday with the badass @realjacksonford.bsky.social at @galaxybookshop.bsky.social. Come see us roast each other, talk all things SFF, and sign some books for you! @hachetteaus.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social @gollancz.bsky.social

Reading it tomorrow in preparation for @realjacksonford.bsky.social chat with @jeremyszal.bsky.social at @galaxybookshop.bsky.social this weekend. Can’t wait! @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #TheBoneRaiders #BookMail #BookSky

Can't believe this needs to be said in the year of our lord 2025 The publishing industry does not and never has discriminated against people for being white, straight, male, or any combination of the above. If you think it does, you are a dingleberry. End of.

LFG

#TheBoneRaiders by #JacksonFord, #BrokenBinding edition. How fucking delicious is this?!?! Well done @realjacksonford.bsky.social, @orbitbooks.bsky.social and @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social, I salute you 👏🏼 🤌🏼 🔥 My first signed Jackson Ford book, I’m so excited! Next, dedicated and signed!

Sooooo is that a good thing? Bad thing? What?

I've started @realjacksonford.bsky.social The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with her Mind and I'm really enjoying it. Fresh riff on the whole mutant thing. Very Django Wexlerish voice.

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

Morning Womble! Just picked up The Bone Raiders, by Jackson Ford, which looks like EXACTLY my sort of adventure fantasy. Looking forward to getting stuck in!

Your summer needs some action, and that's just what @realjacksonford.bsky.social brings with THE BONE RAIDERS, his latest novel out now from @orbitbooks.bsky.social! Come join in with Jackson and Trevor as they jump into a discussion about the book, writing, and more. Links below!

Just finished reading "The Bone Raiders" by @realjacksonford.bsky.social and had so much fun reading it! It's "How to Train Your Dragon" crossed with "Conan the Barbarian" (but way better) starring women badasses and giant fire-breathing lizards that eat people. What's not to love? 😂 #booksky

Last night I had the honour of celebrating the launch of @realjacksonford.bsky.social epic fantasy book, The Bone Raiders. Standing room only, cocktails, mocktails, and got gloriously lost in chats about publishing, #sff, and all the weird, wonderful corners of genre. Thank you #Vancouver! 💙📚

Kristy takes MUCH BETTER PHOTOS than I do and has literally written a book on cocktails and I am super stoked to have her co-captain my launch party. I'll be making a drink too but fair warning I do not do this professionally!

I made a mocktail so fiery it could tame fire‑breathing lizards. 🐲🔥 Join @realjacksonford.bsky.social and me on Aug 13 at Main Street Book Warehouse (doors 6:30pm) for his Bone Raiders launch. We'll be serving drinks, talking publishing, and signing books. Come thirsty! #booksky #vancouver #sff

A crime against God, man, and nature. How far we have fallen.

Did I do it right

Next on BOOK READ SUNDAY

I received two fab sounding ARCs this week! King Sorrow by @joe-hill.bsky.social is a chunky fantasy novel featuring stolen rare books & a pact with a dragon! The Bone Raiders by @realjacksonford.bsky.social features a misfit band of characters who ride fire-breathing lizards to defend their land!

Yessir!

That sounds like an amazing event! 🎉 I can't wait to dive into "The Bone Raiders" and chat all things SFF with fellow fans! 🐉📚 Cheers to great stories and new adventures! 🚀✨ #BookLovers

August 13th is going to be a riot. Come! Join us! Drink cocktails (or mocktails) and talk about @realjacksonford.bsky.social new book, The Bone Raiders, fantasy, sci-fi, and our wild publishing stories. Oh, we'll be signing books, too. Hope to see you there! 🔥🐲 #sff #vancouver #yvr #booksky

Billionaires are: * Increasing water poverty * Accelerating climate collapse * Building luxury survival bunkers * Attempting to replace the entirety of humanity with automation * Building autonomous murder drones At what point exactly do we get off our arses and defend ourselves?!

Well, I guess that's it for gravity. Fuck off mate, please and thank you.

Crippling self doubt.

Prime Day is four days, only one of which is a prime number, and if that doesn't convince you that Amazon are a bunch of liars nothing will. So for Prime Day(s), treat yourself to gay books from indie shops and authors. Like this one! (Spoiler, it's me): shop.ravenswordpress.com/products/jac...
