Reminder that Mage Breaker: Reckoning is now available for preorder and releases on October 20th! If you've been waiting for the complete series or just the final book, you don't have to wait much longer! Also, have a pic of Winnie being all cute and stuff as payment for reading my preorder pitch.

The cover of Mage Breaker: Reckoning--my urban fantasy book about a powerful mage and a gunslinger working together to overthrow the government.

Winnie, our pup, chilling in the car and looking adorable. She would preorder Mage Breaker: Reckoning if she had thumbs...or could, you know, read.

Planning. Spooky season will see the start of exciting new Things for me - and I'm nervous but looking forward to it! Small tidbit: I'll be out doing my Paganism in the community again 😊

Any other UK reviewers see a book Release Today that's still on the TBR pile and panic... only to realize the UK release date is yet to come and once again, everyone on the Internet thinks it's America? Just me? 😂

If you're in the UK, for just 9 more days, you can scoop up the ebook of my cozy-spooky fantasy rom-com Wooing the Witch Queen for only 99p! www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step... & of course it's still available everywhere else, too: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen #romancelandia

In the centre of this image is the beautiful British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sangu Mandanna reads: ‘Warm and lovely’
Around the image, against a starry night background, are various pieces of text connected to it by arrows. They read: “bi villainous heroine,” “sweet cinnamon-roll hero with a fake identity,” “crow friends,” “found family,” and “flirting with fountains pens.” At the bottom of the image are the words: Only 99p this September!

Turned down last week: 2 festivals with no budget for speakers 1 writing course with no budget for teachers 1 film project with no budget to option the book - plus they wanted me to write the screenplay. For free. Don't do it, kids. Don't work for free. Because to them, what's free is worthless.

I've realized that there's a certain moment in most @haileypiperfights.bsky.social books where I have to pause and step away to collect myself. Because I just want the MC to win in some way. They go THROUGH it, folks - they deserve a little treat before more monster shenanigans! 😂

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. I've battled with my mental health for many years. Sometimes the doctors and helplines are good, sometimes not. But I've held on for those I love - the hard part is including me amongst them. I get it. I wrote a book about it. I'm glad you're still here x

Being asked to read an indie book is awesome. Seeing the creator's timeline is full of AI is not. Don’t use AI. Especially if you want to be creative. That creativity comes from YOU, not someone else's stolen work.

Today I was finally successful in acquiring a Waterstones copy of 'The Knave & The Moon' AND I got licked by a cute puppy outside the store. Then got home and my coffee machine had died. So I shall read my book uncaffeinated, but happy. #booklife
