A Bitter Drink is a high fantasy romp full of colorful characters, treason, and hedonistic apathy coming back to bite you in the ass. books2read.com/abd azaleaforrest.itch.i... 💙📚 #writing #highfantasy #books #reading

A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. SPFBO semi-finalist 2022. A dark green cover with gold text, featuring a wine glass, a pile of gold, and a dagger. Character images feature Rowan, the green skinned plant-man in lavender robes holding wine with a smirk, a dark skinned dreaded traveller with a bo staff and a large pack on his back, grinning, a grumpy looking purple haired elf in all black, and a redheaded grinning female dwarf holding a massive hammer. Words surround the book: magic & misadventure, anti-hero MC, elves & dwarves, lgbt+ fantasy, plant people, idiots to lovers. azaleaforrest.wordpress.com

A Bitter Drink by Azalea Forrest. SPFBO semi-finalist 2022. A dark green cover with gold text, featuring a wine glass, a pile of gold, and a dagger. “Forrest’s A Bitter Drink is a fabulous, magic-soaked tale of personal growth, political scheming, plots, revenge, and adventure. A novel that doesn’t take itself too seriously to be fun, yet finds joy in the drama and the danger, this book is having a good time and wants to invite you along.” Character images feature Rowan, the green skinned plant-man in lavender robes holding wine with a smirk, and a dark skinned dreaded traveller with a bo staff and a large pack on his back, grinning.

#AmEditing progress: Good news, everyone! The second draft of Legacy of the Gods is complete. The word count has ballooned to 155,750—over 11k longer than the first draft 🫠 I've driven myself googly-eyed combing through it doc for crutch words the last couple of days. Now I need a break. 💙📚🪐

You mean to tell me all the necessary measures successive governments have taken over the last couple of decades, which made ordinary people's lives worse, to ensure that billionaires—who absolutely contribute to the wealth of the country *wink wink*—wouldn't leave, didn't work?!? Quelle surprise

Got an email that said: - Preorder Keith W. Dickinson’s upcoming book - and I thought what the hell? I don't have a book coming out. Except it turns out I do! 😂 CHALLENGING THE TIDES, the solarpunk anthology I'm a part of, is available now to preorder. 👍 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

The cover of the Challenging The Tides anthology. In stylised graphics that are blocks of colour, a lighthouse sits on a sand dune, a boat with yellow sails on the sea beside it. The yellow sun is in the sky, and the sky is a circuit board. In black text, Challenging the Tides, and anthology of hope, edited by Susan Oke and Shellie Horst.

We have always been in the darkness Itch-io bundle. 37 items for $10. Horror e-books, visual novels, and narrative games, either with queer character and themes, or by queer authors. Often both.

These stories are dark, we do not deny it. But darkness is familiar, to people like us. Those who told themselves they own the daylight may have done their best to deny we exist...

...but we have always been in the darkness.

All good mate, still chipping away at Legacy myself. I've nearly finished the second draft now.

For Dave's fifth book birthday, I really recommend y'all to pick up his books. The Weight of the World trilogy is a heck of a lot of fun high octane mech battling space opera. www.alankdell.co.uk/blog/book-review-reality-check 💙📚🪐

I guess the only comfort is that sales are down across the board and everyone's feeling it 🙃 The one in person event I had the chance to go to was good (because it was free), though. I'll do my usual Christmas ones, too.

Thank god for these Itch-io bundles, man. This October has started off shite for book sales. Who'd have thought it would be nigh-on impossible to sell a cosmic horror sci-fi book *during Halloween season*?!?!?

So here's the disconnect between me and the internet, I guess. Because to me the idea that Halloween is like Christmas for arthropods because they're gifted bones by a Santa-like skeleton entity for one night of the year is the height of comedy. But I do this every year and it never does well 🤣
