Eric smiling and holding up two paperback ARCs of WE ARE ALWAYS TENDER WITH OUR DEAD
WOW! ARCs of my next novel (the first book of my trilogy!) have finally arrived. They look stunning 🤩 I’m so excited to share this book with you. Coming September 9, 2025. If you’d like an ARC, please let me know or get in touch with the @titanbooks.bsky.social team. ❤️
Another special edition of A PALACE NEAR THE WIND you say? 👀🌬️🍃🌿🏰
We're delighted to announce our limited edition of A Palace Near the Wind by @aijiang.bsky.social ! We loved this beautifully written novella that explores the tension and conflict between the natural world and the forces of industrialization.
Please don’t mention the snail. I still can’t talk about the snail. (But yes, it would - and a pretty bookstore maybe)
My heartfelt gratitude to @bloody-disgusting.com for hosting the cover reveal for my upcoming novel today! I ❤️ you, Bloody Disgusting!!
