The proof copy of my debut fantasy novel has arrived! A couple of minor tweaks, but otherwise all good for 10th April (cat included for engagement 😝)
Rather impressed with Amazon today. Ordered a proof copy last night and it’s already on its way. (For those not in the know, proof copies are usually s-l-o-w!)

Umm… “released the breath they didn’t know they were holding” or similar.
My debut fantasy novel is finished and ready for release on 10th April, so I’m back on the socials! Say hi! 👋

Hi, is it furry fiction? If so then I’d like to politely decline as it really isn’t my thing. I wish you the best of luck with it though!
Hi,
Thank you for your continued interest. I have now found someone I want to work with for my map.
Best wishes
Hi, do you have any examples of maps you’ve done before for other authors?
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out. Your maps and art are lovely, but they’re not the right fit for my book. Sorry!
My writing process is usually:
a) I got this
b) well, fuck
c) wait that part was real good
d) wait no that part sucks
e) I am a god of this place
f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here
g) oh man I just figured it all out
h) mistakes were made
I) existential dread
And it’s time for beta readers!
Still lots of polishing to do, but I’ve reached the point where I need eyes on the project for feedback before doing any more editing and/or rewriting.
If anyone here would like to be a #betareader please reply to this post.

Day 4. #FantasyIndiesDecember
Last: Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson
Current: Of Darkness and Light by @ryancahill.bsky.social (follow me Ryan- I’m writing teeny tiny dragons! 😉)
Next: any one of a hundred on my tbr, but probably something I haven’t bought yet. IYKYK

Dragons improve everything! 😝🐉
Ah, now this is interesting. And not enough space in a post for it. If you google “Asimov Ribbon World” you’ll get a clear picture.
It’s sci-fi, but I thought… what a great idea for a fantasy world. I bet dragons live there. 🙂
Thanks. I hope so, and I hope readers like the fresh take.
I can see the reviews now…
1 star- dragons weren’t big enough!
🤪
Everyone tends to write big awesome dragons. Very few write about the little ones. They exist too, y’know 🤣
They’re small enough that adults fit in your hand. Think geckos with wings.
Neither good or bad. More nuanced than that, though people are scared of them.
Can’t say- spoilers 😉
Thousands! I’m trying a fresh approach to them. 🤫
Day 3. #FantasyIndiesDecember
Go on then, what would you like to know about my book? 🙂
“Just” also gets a nomination for “best useless word in a supporting role” too 🙂
Busy #editing. I appear I’m rather fond of the word “particularly.”
What word do you overuse when drafting?

How could I forget about the Hogfather!
Heads up fellow indie authors! Vellum (wonderful book formatting software) is 30% off this week only! It’s expensive, so that’s a decent discount.
It’s on Mac only though.
