Catch-up SPSFC Reviews – Three Grams of Elsewhere, Wixon’s Day & Kenai These are sort of rushed catch-up reviews for the novels I was reading/judging during SPSFC #3By rights, these books deserve deeper contemplation and commentary than this – but my time manage…

Some EXTREMELY late reviews for #SPSFC3 / #SPSFC

These books deserve more, but my time management skills are not up to the task, so, I'm getting out short reviews now instead of never.

Kenai, Three Grams of Elsewhere, and Wixon's Day are all worth a look.

Need a break after a solid year of reading approx 150 #selfpublished Fantasy & Sci-fi in the brilliant #SPFBO9 & #SPSFC3 contests so I'm diving into a fave author of supernatural thrillers. John Connolly has my ultimate favourite M/M killer couple in fiction

📬 A bit of new #BookMail, “Prompt Excursion” by Lewis S. Kingston.

This was mentioned by Sound & Fury Book Reviews on #BookTube as an #SPSFC3 semi-finalist, and who further advised me a full review is coming next week: “it’s all good things” apparently 🤔

Happy Monday all! Still buzzing from yesterday's #SPSFC3 announcement from the group my book is in.

Even better, I've managed to keep up with some solid writing sessions the last couple of weeks.

Finally getting into the groove again! 😁

I'm a bit stunned. I'd never had the confidence to enter #SPSFC before, but this community helped me overcome that for #SPSFC3.

I kept hopes low, but to be marked safe (for now) is a huge step 🤩 Great feedback, so I can keep improving! 😁

Thank you, judges! 💜 🚀

Pivoting to posting my #SPSFC reviews here as well - next up on my seriously-lagging #SPSFC3 list is Falcon Fire by Erik Otto! A story that could only have been improved by the full inclusion of a sentient beard. Just read the gorram review.
