Thanks, everyone, for all the congratulations today re #sfincs #sfincs2. I've held off shamelessly plugging the book until now, but I will put out this one reminder that Majordomo is still .99 to celebrate the launch of Jester on April 14th. And to lure you all to it, naturally. Link in the thread.

Majordomo is such a great book! 🥰

If you haven't already, you really should check it out.

Tim's next book 'Jester' - a full-sized novel this time - comes out in a few days and I am really looking forward to reading it asap.

18. From the Depths - B. S. H. Garcia

My first by the author, but it certainly won't be the last! The worldbuilding here is detailed, and the last 25% had me on the edge of my seat.

16. Oksy, Come Home - Phil Williams

I was very impressed by Williams's restrained realism in this character-focused military fantasy that has a strong authorial voice.

Hey all, the #sfincs2 contest now has a page with the finalists. I encourage you to read them all. They're great. I know if you're following me you've already read Majordomo, but the other 9 are awesome too. I've found most on KU or for .99 here and there. www.sfincscompetition.com/post/sfincs2...

New cover for Majordomo. It feels great to have a blurb from one of my literary heroes, to say nothing of the finalist badge for #SFINCS2. In some ways these are small wins, but I'll take them.

Ordered a proof copy of the Tidelings of Dras Sayve Novelette.

My #sfincs2 entry will soon be available as a paperback. I had to change the ebook format slightly and create a spine and back cover. I will soon be able to see the interior illustrations in print 😊
This low stakes novelette has a wintery feel for my friends up North.

Callista is a morally grey Vampire who has a lot of trauma and is fierce and a fighter to her core.

Her girlfriend, Joan, is a saint and very kind and loyal but also a fighter and strong.

Both join & lead battles often & are very happy & in love.

My novella, Tartarus and the Sword, is in the #SFINCS2!

Callista and Joan are sent on a mission by Hera to find her staff, but end up in Tartarus with an enchanted sword trying to turn them evil as they're fighting for their lives and their sanity.
