High fantasy fans, I need your eyeballs.

My standalone fantasy novel MAEJ is to be published in October by tRaum Books, and the publisher and I seek folks willing to read a free advance review copy and leave an honest rating/review.

You can request a free copy of the book here: MAEJ Advance Review Copy Sign-Up

MAEJ is a unique, complex high fantasy novel featuring:

☞ gryphons

☞ berserker rages

☞ fate-worship

☞ algorithmic magic spells

☞ secret agent anthropologists

☞ hallucinogenic flower wine

☞ poetry battles

☞ Da Vincian flying contraptions

☞ a matriarchal society colliding with a patriarchal one

☞ an underground city

☞ a gaolbreak

☞ an awful politician getting assassinated while using the toilet

With “an elaborate and surprising plot [...] filled with political intrigue, action, twists, tragedy, and even a touch of romance”, MAEJ is a novel “unapologetic in its intelligence and dedication to doing strange, creative things with language” even as it offers “meaty commentary on the social construction of sex, sexuality, and gender” (in the words of one early reviewer).

If you want an ARC, here is that link again: MAEJ Advance Review Copy Sign-Up

You need not be a professional reviewer or somehow associated with the publishing trade. We welcome anybody who would like to read and review the novel.

You also have the option of waiting until 21 October, when you will be able to pay money for a book you could have gotten for free.

Dragonfall is still only 99p in the UK! I have no idea how long for. Pick it up for cheap. Here's bullet points of the set up for the three main characters: Everen:

a dragon prince steals a prophecy and falls to the human world, only to discover he's now trapped in human form and real mad about it

he's also real mad to discover he's half-bonded to a genderfluid thief who doesn't know he's a dragon

all he has to do is make the little human trust him so he can complete the bond, rip open the Veil, bring through all the other dragons that were betrayed by humans centuries ago, and be the saviour and prophet he always had hoped to be

oh no, the human is hot Arcady:

stole this magic seal from my grandsire's bones who is the most hated man in Loc for being the Plaguebringer

said a spell to change their identity so they can sneak to university and clear their grandsire's name and make those who killed him pay

spell went wrong, is now magically attached to an insufferable prince I evidently stole from his homeland half a world away??

I do need someone to help me do a heist, so I'll teach a prince how to steal

oh no, he's hot

Sorin:

priest assassin for the Order of the Dragons

has a pet wyvern

has discovered she's not actually all that keen on killing, which is a problem

also hot

Hey, Booklr! My novella comes out this week, and I’m offering reviewers and readers free e-copies. All you have to do is claim a copy at the link below. 

Blurb: When Nessa and her fellow priestesses are abducted from their temple by bounty hunters, Nessa is the only one to escape. Unable to return to the sole home she’s ever known, she is forced into the great wide world, where she will either forge her own path or leave her life up to chance. Along the way, she just might find a family, find herself, and find out what “home” truly means.

More Details: There’s no obligation to review! But if you enjoy it, I hope you consider leaving one on your preferred reviewing site.

About the Heirs of Tenebris trilogy:

For fans of character driven stories set in new fantastical worlds with a rich and mysterious history, original mythos, extraordinary characters, and magical adventures, readers travel through the heart of the Shadow Forest in book one, Fire & Flight, as seventeen-year-old Nyla and nineteen-year-old Xander each hope to find the legendary Fortune Falls—a mystical waterfall said to grant your deepest desires. But as their journey brings them into each other's confidences Nyla and Xander quickly realize that Nyla's newfound magical abilities and the answers she seeks extend much deeper than her own past. Embroiled in an ancient war for Tenebris's sovereignty, Nyla and Xander must reveal the truths hidden in the legends of the Shadow Forest before the centuries-old evil can destroy their homeland.

As they continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding them in book two, Embers of Eternity, Nyla and Xander are forced to face the deepest parts of themselves, leading to new discoveries they may not be prepared to face. Forced to trust outside forces and new allies, Nyla, Xander, and Shamira confront their pasts in order to mount a defense for not just their futures, but to protect the future of magic and all of Tenebris.

The trilogy's stunning conclusion, Winds of War, sees the past of 647 years ago collide with the present in a fierce battle for Tenebris's sovereignty and the sanctity of all of magic. Will Nyla and the forces assembled to assist her be able to defeat the legendary evil sorceress immortalized in the myths of the Shadow Forest? Or will Tenebris fall in the wake of the sorceress's wrath?

A tale of magic, adventure, and heart, the Heirs of Tenebris trilogy transports readers to a fantastic world with extraordinary characters in their quest for themselves and a sense of home.

“Last few months, my love,” a deep voice said. Weariness shaped each word, but love filled them and an absolute unyielding vow defined them. A woman with grey hair pinned into a bun, reached out a wrinkled hand and placed it on the ivory shirt covering the broad chest of the man that had spoken. She smiled, accentuating the creases around her mouth and the lines around her warm hazel eyes. “You…

I'm still mostly ignoring social media while I'm on deadline but here's a quick dump of announcements!

If you're in the UK, Dragonfall is a Kindle Deal of the Day for 99p. If you've read it, I also wouldn't mind a quick review on the Big River Online site. Yes, it's better to buy indie, but sigh, the algorithm. Anyway, at the moment I'm feeling smug (smaug) that I'm briefly outselling The Hobbit.

If you're in Edinburgh, Scotland, I am chairing two upcoming events at Toppings: January 26th: Samantha Shannon for A Day of Fallen Night in paperback (whew I have so many pages to read over the next few days! So good. So long)

February 6th: Georgia Summers for her lush debut City of Stardust.

OK, bye!
