September 2024 – In Short

This will be a brief post as I have just returned from a weekend of celebrating my mother’s birthday (it was a significant one). I was able to properly spoil her.

Highlights

On the first anniversary of my debut’s release, I started the day with an interview. Livia J. Elliot and I discussed themes and spoilers from my novelette, The Tidelings of Dras Sayve. You can listen to it on youtube and other channels:

Reviews

I have read some amazing indie books recently. You can find the full reviews below, linked to Goodreads:

Harbinger by A. J. Calvin: The third book in the Caein Legacy. The dragon skin-changer, Andrew, comes to the aid of his youngest brother in their quest to overthrow a tyrannical relative. Legacy, the final book in this epic series, comes out in November.

Starlight Jewel (Gifts of the Auldtree) by E. L. Lyons: Powerful tree-like Sprygans and their human hybrid offspring inhabit a feral yet politically complex world. There are also some twisted Cinderella references sprinkled in for good measure. Truly captivating.

The Whisper that Replaced God by Timothy Wolff: A fun, violent novelette featuring an eerie god an unstable protagonist. This is also packed with hilarious meta commentaries about indie publishing.
