Apparently if you write books, you're supposed to sometimes remind people that you write books. (I write books.) If you like twisty, fantastic tales with everything from serial killers, to body horror, to epic discoveries, my SFF has got you covered! bookshop.org/lists/books-...

Picture of Pearl's books set up for a signing with all seven of Marina's novels on display and a banner in the background with 'books by Marina Lostetter' on it. Books include the five penalties trilogy, the Noumenon trilogy, and the stand alone novel activation degradation.

I have no hesitation in saying that if you liked my books, you'll like this, especially if you wish I'd leaned harder into the "creepy murder mystery" and "trapped in a manor house full of awful people" aspects. A GAY & VERITABLE BANGER.

I’ve been absent lately thanks largely to the joys of home renovation but wanted to shout out these 2 excellent books that came out in the last week, both of which I loved, starting exciting new series by excellent humans @devinmadson.bsky.social & @andreagstewart.bsky.social Commend them to you!

In covid iso isn’t how I’d choose to spend my bday. On the other hand, got a chance to read; flew through the superb The Gods Below by @andreagstewart.bsky.social - fun, incredibly inventive - some god tier worldbuilding (pun intended) - and a cast of characters you won’t get out of your head!

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I am just continuously screaming inside with how excited I am about this book!!! Writing it just felt so fresh and good and exciting, and I think it'll give people the kind of fun-yet-intense page-turny escape that I love as a reader. I can't wait to share it!!!

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!
