I've got a new website, a proper one, where you can learn about my books, buy them cheaper than the usual places, and sign up to hear about my upcoming project. But also, as a treat, you can test yourself against my cards and discover what magic you would have in the world of The Tower Between 🪐📚

A great review of The Tower Broken just landed. And just a reminder that Book 1 of the trilogy, The Tower Between, is currently 99c for the eBook, so there's no reason not to give it a try 💙🪐📚

A writer friend who is a teacher gave me a wonderful opportunity to have a video call with her creative writing class. We discussed world building, what makes a good sequel and how action can lead into dramatic scenes. And they indulged me in talking about my own books #writingcommunity

I'm a night-time writer by nature, but between kids, work, and spending quality time with my wife, nights have been disappearing and the wordcount has been light. So I'm pushing back against habits and getting up early to reach my daily quota. Let's see how long this lasts #writingcommunity #authors

Only one week away from the release of the final book in my YA Fantasy Trilogy. The Tower Broken picks up from where The Tower Besieged finished. The teens have finished highschool, and are ready to devote themselves to magic. But park that for a moment. How great do these things look together? 📚🪐💙

It managed to be clever, silly and emotional across multiple levels. Can't wait to keep reading the next ones.

I just finished the first of the Dungeon Crawler Carl novels. So good. A few chapters in, I wasn't sure about it. I could see why people were enjoying it and recommending it, but I wasn't sure it was for me. It felt maybe a little too silly a meta. But by chapter 6 I was hooked.💙📚🪐

It's been great fun and I hope some of you have enjoyed these insights into my story as much as I've enjoyed posting them. Book 3 will be available in late April, and the ebook version of Book 1, The Tower Between, is on sale #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 31 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

In anticipation of my trilogy's finale release in April, the first book has been dropped to 99c on ebook. It's a great chance to dip your toe into the world of The Tower Between and seven Aussie teens who discover that magic is real.🪐📚💙

Of all of Zack's accomplishments with magic and healing, his greatest is simply the way he is there to support his friends. He doesn't believe that though. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 30 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Zack has compromised a lot in his pursuit of magic and protecting the world: friendships, honest relationships... he's even killed. But Book 3 is more about how Zack himself has been compromised, by the lies of those in power #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 26 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Aesthetic boards have really been something I've done. I'm not a visual person. So instead, here is some character art, of Charlie , our Animal mage, and Bast, our Movement mage #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 25 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Zack would absolutely have his fortune told. He's the kind of guy whose crush once mentioned her zodiac sign so he dived deep into astrology. But in Book 3 of the trilogy, its Kimmy who has her fortune told. And she hated it. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 23 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Zack's biggest pet peeve is bullies, but he's also not wild about people who don't pay attention to the rules of boardgames. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 23 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

I've been watching the new Daredevil series, and I think my group of plucky teens would do alright in the MCU, even the grittier parts of it #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 20 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

My readers have told me Art has the worst luck. I'm not sure this is entirely true, but he certainly spends a lot of time in the 'find out' phase #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 19 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Of the 13 Schools of Magic the Tower teaches, one can be said to involve prophecy - the School of Knowledge. Book 3 is the first time this School makes an appearance, and it does so in a big way #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 18 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Rumours, like secrets, are at the core of this book. The teens' enemies use them to turn potential allies against them and, towards the end, the teens learn how to wield them for their own ends #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 16 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

I do most of my writing at my desk, in the evenings after the kids are settled and I've relaxed a bit with my wife. Then I take the ideas I've been percolating during the day and tap them out onto the page #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 14 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Book 3 of the Tower Between trilogy is actually the only one that include's Zack's birthday; his 18th. He gets dragged out by his friends to celebrate when he'd rather be home playing boardgames. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 13 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

My wonderful editor has returned her edits and comments for book 3 to me and I've been working through them today. It's been a while since I've read over my words. I've found myself laughing out loud a few times today. At least I think I'm funny. #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Zack doesn't believe in fate, but if someone used the claim of fate to stand in the way of what needed to be done, he'd fight it to his last breath #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 12 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Our MC, Zack, often sees things others have missed, and in times of crisis, can enact snap plans that pull his friends out of trouble. But some come at a heavy cost. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 11 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Superstitions - The teens aren't on the same page about what might be real. Zack and Art are geeks, ready to believe anything. Tabitha is sceptical. And Bast, a First Australian, sees hints at the stories his elders taught him #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 10 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

The largest source of humour in the Tower Between trilogy is the banter between the teens. Even in the face of pure horrors, these friends swap jokes and barbs #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 9 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Non-humans in The Tower Between trilogy include a troop of animated soldiers led by the stone Commander, a sentient dagger called Mr Shanks, and of course, Max, the German Shepherd companion of Charlie, the group's Animal mage #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 7 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

A quirk Zack shares with his best friend, Art, is naming things. Faced with strange magical creatures, nothing seems as daunting if you give it a name, be it strigian, arachnoid or fleshion. Although sometimes D&D names work fine #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 6 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Mark Kramarzewski @markkramarz.bsky.social · 05/03/2025
The risks in the Tower Between trilogy are both personal - Zack's performance at school, his relationships, his grandmother's health, and global - the ever present threat that magical creatures enter our world through breaches. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 5 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Mark Kramarzewski @markkramarz.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
While luck may play a role, the teens in The Tower Between trilogy don't believe in fate. They believe that people with opportunity to stand up are called, rather than destined, to make a positive difference in the world. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 4 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Lies are at the heart of The Tower Between trilogy. To keep The Silence, Zack must lie to his family about his magical life constantly, but in book 3, it's the lies that he and his friends have been told that change everything. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 3 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙

Mark Kramarzewski @markkramarz.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Zack, the main character of The Tower Between trilogy, is definitely an introvert. But he's dragged into social situations by his best friend, Art. In fact, that's how this whole thing began. #FantasyIndiesMarch — day 2 #indiefantasy #fantasybooksky #Booksky 📚🪐💙
