I finished something this year. Nature, technology, and a subdued kind of magic coexist. None of the characters are human. I've been told it has a gothic feel (haunting architecture and tragic monsters). The audiobook for Book 2 is in post production. books2read.com/cblansdell/

The Apidecca Duology is out now. Soulful FMC, hot mess MMC, Dual POV, sci-fantasy blend, new terminology, character focused.

A band of indie authors are doing a cool speculative-fiction anthology that just went live on Kickstarter. There will be 34 stories in this book, and you have lots of options of how you want them - ebook, fancy hardcover, or a new story every day for all of December, holiday calendar style. (1/2)
