We place greater value on the fluff.
See, that's where we have the edge. All we demand from our speakers is unwavering loyalty and a jar of marshmallow fluff.

New Spotlight Indie Audiobook Review The Way of Renegades by Steve D Wall. Narrated by Steven Pacey "The Way of Renegades is a distinctive calling card by an author with so much talent."
My first review for @spotlightindie.bsky.social this year is The Way of Renegades by Steve D Wall. I waited far too long to read this flintlock fantasy. With its beautifully realised fantasy world and brilliant characters this is a terrific debut!

We know Sunday is usually video day but we're doing things a bit differently this week as our host with the most Frasier has been catching up with some of our friends at Eastercon and talking about attending events. Here he is with Emily, Liam and Phil! Happy Eastercon everyone!
We meant to say at all times
We're at least 20% cake at all
Gingerbread Bots is our band name
We love our old posts and expired giveaways being shared by marketing bots as much as the next person, but we feel it's important to remind you that we're real people. Just because one of us claims to be part robot, doesn't mean we are. We're also not cake.
Well, we're mostly not cake.
