I've just had a listen to this, as I'm off to visit @vspearson85.bsky.social in a minute. She reads out loud so will and I love the differebt accents, really brings the characters alive.

The other day I read a chapter from Agents of Secrets and Lies, book 1 of the #SummerRealm trilogy, on youtube. Why not grab a cuppa and a blanket and have a listen? π

It's my birthday tomorrow! And release day of Savage Invasion, the second installment of the steampunk fantasy spectacle that is the #SummerRealm trilogy π
So if you'd theoretically buy me a drink for my birthday, maybe snag yourself a copy while it's on a low price intro offer? π

Devastated to report that none of the gifts under my tree were a miniature jersey cow. I shall have to console myself with the release of the first #SummerRealm book, Agents of Secrets and Lies #NewRelease #SteampunkFantasy

I'm so glad Wombie got to see all of these little sketches before they came out. Here is the final one, me as Ash, a spy from the #SummerRealm

Do watch this if you get the chance, Miranda is fantastic as Tricky
A new #SummerRealm short will be dropping on Tuesday (I am so glad Wombie got to see them all in advance)
If you want some background about how our four-way collaboration on the new trilogy came about.

The Summer Realm trilogy release dates : book 1 (pre-order now) December 26th, book 2 February 6th, book 3 March 20th.
#SummerRealm trilogy release dates. Paperbacks will be released on the same dates as Kindle versions, but Amazon won't let us set up pre-orders for paperbacks for some odd reason.
(You will adore the @kiturnix.bsky.social covers.)
Oh itβs Kindle only? Will it be available in print at all? #SummerRealm
I will be preordering too. Congratulations on this to you all! #SummerRealm
I'm so fed up of maintaining this catheter now. Cancer is such a demoralising, exhausting and infantalising disease. I'd like to hang around long enough to hold the #SummerRealm trilogy paperbacks in my hands, but occasionally I'm ready for it all to be over.
#WomsLastStand #CatheterChat #FuckCancer
Amazon steampunk chart. Our book, Agents of Secrets and Lies at number 1.
No. 1 in Steampunk. Yay
us.
#SummerRealm
Now No. 1 in Hot New Releases. Thank you, pre-orderers x
#SummerRealm
Bookcover for The Summer Realm Book 1, Agents of Secrets and Lies by Michael Wombat, Victoria Pearson, Lisa Shambrook and Miranda Kate. It depicts a grey parrot with a bright red tail, grey and black-tipped wings open, flying over a snow-topped mountain range under a clear blue sky. It's framed by brass cogs and boiler plates.
Screencap of our book at No. 6 in said list.
I find it fascinating that no-one has yet got their hands on a copy of 'Agents of Secrets and Lies', and yet we're at No. 6 in Amazon's Steampunk Science Fiction bestsellers list. Thank you for pre-ordering, young warriors. #SummerRealm

Who's ready for a drum roll moment? who wants to have a look at the cover for the first book in the new series, me, @wombat37.bsky.social @vspearson85.bsky.social and @lisashambrook.bsky.social have been writing together?
We got the cover tonight!!! #SummerRealm #Steampunk #Fantasy

Just looking at the cover art for the forthcoming Summer Realm book one. Great googly moogly, it's stunning. I'll show you soon.
#SummerRealm
Lazy morning as I finish the first read through of Book 1 of the #SummerRealm I'm excited for this to be released into the world. #WIP #ComingSoon
From left to right: Lisa, Wombie, Miranda and V, standing in front of a map of the Summer Realm. Visible are place names like Saher Desert, Thukrum, Wombat's Paw, Darkwood, and the Firebird Oasis.
I also can't find the pic we took the very first time I met @wombat37.bsky.social but I love this one we took when the #SummerRealm crew got together so much I plonked it on top of a map of the realm

We've had a 5 hour power cut here. Pain in the bum. I was 'forced' to read instead. π I'm proofing a new book from @jackrollins.bsky.social which is a rather good horror - thoroughly enjoying. And also reading through the 1st volume of the new #SummerRealm series I've written with 3 other authors.
Just finished my first readthrough, doing edits/rewrites of my chapters for the #SummerRealm collaboration. Gosh this is going to be such a great book. #WritersLife
Nope. Though last week I felt like I was dying. Hopefully tomorrow I can start my #SummerRealm pleaching work again.
This is going to be astounding. Also features a cute black fox, airships, intrigue, sky pirates, and a dimwit in a daft helmet.
#SummerRealm
Must admit I've been feeling a bit emoshe too.
Reading back over the whole story, though, and bloody wow, what an achievement.
#SummerRealm
Writing the very end of a story you have been working on and living in for the last 18 months is a little emotional. There's a certain sadness that tempers the satisfaction of the accomplishment. #amwriting #WritersLife #SummerRealm
I hope so. Hoping to do some Summer Realm admin this afternoon.
#SummerRealm
This morning I need to work out how best to close a swirling red portal into another world. #SummerRealm #WIP #WritersLife
Puzzles done. Now it's time to climb into the #SummerRealm. We are almost there.
Finished the blowpipe chapter this morning, some decent writing.
#SummerRealm
Time for a poo break. Then fried tomatoes and mushrooms for lunch.
