I had a fantastic time reading @michaelvadney.bsky.social's CROWNFALL. This is an ambitious and well-polished debut with a little something for everybody. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something new and unique to dig into. #BookSky Read the full review fanfiaddict.com/review-crown...

Crownfall is an ambitious debut— and it sticks the landing. A clever standalone with something for everyone.

Starting off #SequelSeptember on a high note with This Crimson Ruin by Rebecca Thorne. Think zombie apocalypse, set in an underwater city where there’s very little chance of escape. Lots of action, high stakes, & great characters makes a fantastic read. fanfiaddict.com/review-this-... #booksky

Not saying that I'm gonna be writing books about Eddie Z. Cash...but also not NOT gonna do that since he can have plenty of adventures outside the Beardman RPG.
