🔥Visit a Book Fair in Cyprus with me!

We’re usually have just a few international releases—and look what treasures I managed to find!

❓Which book would you buy?

❓If you were writing a about your life or your greatest love, what tropes would be at the heart of it?

Probably our main tropes with Elena are Lots of Fun, Laughing Out Loud, and Meow-meow😂 But I didn’t find those in the traditional lists—and they should be there! 😹

And what are yours?

I decided to summarize the year, and here's my nomination for the Best cover of 2023🏆.

🥇The entire The Inheritance Games win for me, especially the upcoming The Grandest Game. I love when an image makes you want to look closer and has lots of catchy details.

In🥈and 🥉place are the Fourth Wing festive edition & Iron Flame. Despite misprints here and there, the design with gold casting really encourage readers to buy.

And what’s your choice? @bookstadon

@vdvestelle @bookstadon The Inheritance Games series - yes. The Grandest Game will be released next year, and Fourth Wing/Iron Flame I've read through my wife's eyes😅 She likes romance stories more than me. In her opinion, Fourth Wing is much better than Iron Flame. It's too repetitive and not well edited. Anyway, it's a huge success for Rebecca Yarros and I'm genuinely happy for her and the genre fans!

Days 15&16🔥 Visit the real juice factory with me!

Let’s do some research together and see how the factory works... and take some time to write a little 😉.

Which company facilities would you like to visit? , , ...?

12: Antagonist POV: What food would you serve to your enemy?

😏Antagonist? Food? That would be too simple.

First off, in The Closed Tunnel, in the deep underground cities, you should try to guess who the MC should avoid, who he should be scared to death of, and who is just watching him (yet).

Unobvious villains: Isn't that what we face in real life?😉

Nov 12: Preferred writing method?

In my mind.

I paint a tapestry of words with my brain first, and only then with my fingertips on a keyboard. Only then it's not typing, it's creating.

On what? A blank sheet of digital white paper. Word for myself and Google Drive to collaborate with my editor. @bookstadon

This weekend is my first test of the waters with ads and leaflets for The Closed Tunnel at YALC (Young Adult Literature Convention) in London🫣 You may see one page from it below 🤗

Of course, the book isn't finished yet, so it's just an invitation to my newsletter, where I plan to send out gifts from time to time.

It’s my first contact with the big world, and I'm super nervous🙈 Just send me some good vibes, please 🫶🏻

I just found out that November is a .

Usually, is about dreams of what the future might hold for humanity.

In my first book, The Closed Tunnel, I explore what we are overlooking in the present, and what stunning technological experiments are happening beneath our feet, hidden from view underground.

The Closed Tunnel is not only not far from reality, it is so close that it gives you the creeps that it might be true.

It's such an elegant way to push me to finish writing The Closed Tunnel faster😅.

I’m not sure it will work this way, but still, the attempt counts!

#NaNoWriMo Day 5. Don't Mess With the #Writer 😈

The day before I decided to take a break and trim my trees, so I did! 💪🏻😄 A meditative exercise, I tell you. While pruning, I thought about the plot development of my #scifi book The Closed Tunnel.

Can I brag? Not only am I writing a book, but I have pomegranates in the garden 😂

Key takeaway: writing a #book is not always typing on a keyboard. 80% of the time, the story is born in your head.

Have a great week, everyone! 🫶🏻

#nanowrimo Day 4 was a little tough. I felt exhausted, but I continued with my writing with the idea of taking a break the next day...

#NaNoWriMo Day 3.

I wrote my #scifi The Closed Tunnel until midnight. When I came out of the café, I saw a truck crossing the street... and it started to rain...

Sign? 👀 Nah, just autumn😄

My Writing Journey [Part 1 of 50🤣].

Hi! I'm Anthony Harold, and now I can say that I’m a .

I’ve worked in the industry for 15 years & 15 more in real estate. But at 49, I decided to change my life and write a book.

My wife & editor Elena is a saint😅. She told me 10 months ago that we'd need at least a year to finish the first in my series, and I told her not to spread negative vibes🤣 So I hope, two more months & we'll be there💪🏻 @bookstodon

Let’s connect!

Day 2 of my was quite productive. After a hard first day of writing & researching for my book The Closed Tunnel, I was able to write freely based on the curated material.

I suppose is one of the hardest parts of creating . I don't trust the first or even the fourth source I see on the web. My background in physics and the industry helps me to at least have an idea if an article is crap or not. 😄 @scifi @bookstodon
