A reddish sky background and a man with a crimson gambeson and red riding cloak standing next to a pale but dappled horse. The backs of two figures' heads are seen. Stylized title text at the top reads The Last Gift-Knight while the author name near the bottom reads Dylan Madeley.
"But of all the places in the world, here that name should
mean something. This was our home."
The Last Gift-Knight

Iβve learned that while I love writing grimdark, Iβm actually slightly rabid for dark romance books. Now I kind of want to see dark romance in a grimdark world. Any recommendations? π€

Looking for a fun weekend read or to grow you TBR try "A Middle Idea". A mystery book, in a romance series, in a medieval fantasy setting. It has been described as witty, emotional and fast paced. No Ai was used in any part of this book. Questions welcome. #booksky

Sequoia, fictional city in "A New Faith", has addressed these issues at the design stage. Or at least tried to. Yet violence breaks out. Law and order goes for a toss. Explore the story here - tinjar.ghost.io/a-new-faith

Excellent summary of the problems faced by cities over time and in different contexts - e.g. income, jobs, state capacity, etc.

One reason I am opting for hardcover is that it is vastly more likely to survive longer. Paperbacks tend to decay rather fast as well as lose their value. I also believe e-books are almost immediately stolen by both ai and nefarious book site people.

Look at that! Books and an audience with the Pope may still make a difference.

You have some control over how you want your novels publishing life to unfold. These shrink with trad publishing contracts. But, you should think about such things. This involves your actual goals for your books. If you move away from making money, your choices alter.

I do publish my novels as hardcovers first. This means I limit publication to hardcover for up to a year before offering a paperback. I do limit a publication run to maximum 250 copies per edition if I have more than a first edition in hardcover.

You will face choices in how you publish your books. One choice I've made is to not publish e-books. Most writers do publish e-books as it radically increases their cheap sales. I also choose to not publish my collections as hardcovers. At least right now.

#TheLostBookofElizabethBarton by #JenniferNBrown is a dual-timeline mystery steeped in Tudor History & Academic Intrigues. Partially based on true stories, there's a lot of texture. #AprilDoty skillfully handles the two time periods for #HighBridgeAudio. TY #NetGalley for the e-audio ALC. #BookSky
Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for this free copy of "You Watched In Silence."
