Very excited to have paper copies of my new favorite books, the Dragon Blood series! It's been a while since I bought any physical books but these were worth it. Even though I already had all the ebooks 😁
Today at the blog, to celebrate it's release from Queen of Swords Press , our @TrishEM sinks her tendrils into DEATH AT THE DIONYSUS CLUB by Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott
#JustFinished Empire in Black and Gold, by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Excellent, as with all I've read by him, but I prefer SciFi over all, so not as amazing as his SciFi. Still, an interesting world with interesting characters. Lost magics, technology rising, and fascists on the horizon. A mixed band (young and old, different motivations and philosophies) sets off to save everyone from their blinders. I'll read the second one.
I reviewed Twilight of the Gods by Scott Oden for Grimdark Magazine! This is the second book in the dark historical fantasy Grimnir Saga, about the last living orc in medieval Scandinavia. Book 3 arrives later this month!
Looking for new additions to your TBR pile or gift list? LitHub's Natalie Zutter is recommending seven sci-fi and fantasy books that are published this month, including Chịkọdịlị Emelụmadụ's debut novel, "Dazzling," which is about two girls coming of age at a Nigerian boarding school, and Geoff Ryman's "Him," which muses on what would have happened if Jesus Christ was born a girl.
The thing I like so much about #DecRecs looking back over all the terrific books I read over the past year.
Today's DecRec is 'How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse', by K. Eason.
Imagine that the fairy tale fantasy land of fairies granting wishes at christenings, and magic and alchemy, moved forward in time and developed spaceships and interplanetary trade alliances. This is that. Quirky and fun, with a dry wit and terrific characters.
Happy 2nd day of #DecRecs to those who celebrate! Today's recommendation is 'Even Though I Knew The End', by C. L. Polk. A thoughtful, wistful Chicago noir about a supernatural detective making deals with demons to sell (or redeem) her soul. Wonderful setting, clothes, mood, vibes; and a bittersweet approach to demon bargains that feels more real, somehow, than more traditional tales of this nature.
Today's release: Kim Fielding's MM holiday fantasy romance Regifted:
It’s December, and although Chrys Carvalho loves his home among the trees in the California Sierras, he’s a little lonely. While trying to find a new owner for a motorcycle—gifted by Chrys to his late husband—he meets ...
My short story is live on Kindle Unlimited! I had so much fun writing this tale. We combined some of my favorite holiday things like a big performance with lights (courtesy of magic), a chorus singing, hot drinks, gift giving. And then fused it with a low stakes fantasy adventure and magical creatures. I hope you enjoy it!
