Awesome! I have physical books as well as ebooks.

Windward is a dragon rider fantasy for fans of Pern with deep bonding.
Between Starfalls and Let Loose the Fallen are the first two books of my Stone Age epic science fantasy series.

Both are available at SKaeth.com

@floofpaldi Yooo my first 3 are up at 99c each, or on Kindle Unlimited through Jan 20. If you know someone who likes happy queer couples who are deliriously in love, with a magical cold war going on in the background, maybe give them a shot?

It's nice breezy bathtub-reading where nothing very bad happens.

4&5 are written, just dragging my feet on editing and re-covering the bunch.

@floofpaldi If you or your family like sci-fi, you can check out my books: https://alinaleonova.net/book

My first one is a dystopian sci-fi thriller with plot twists that some readers compared to Black Mirror.

My newest one leans more towards solarpunk while still playing with some cyberpunk themes.

A book cover of 'Wild Flowers, Electric Beasts' by Alina Leonova. A dark-skinned woman and a light-skinned man standing back to back. There are wires and electronics visible under the man's skin on his head and neck. Flowers and plants separate them. Light yellow background behind the woman that merges with light-turquoise background behind the man.

@floofpaldi I don't have any books, and I doubt your family would appreciate a back issue of Ellery Queen, so if it's OK, I'd like to recommend my friend's books - if anyone is into sci-fi romance with a lot of humour and a cracking plot, they might want to check out Viv Jackson's books. (She's also contributed to a lot of anthologies) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Vivien-Jackson/author/B008O6PLWO?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

@floofpaldi old (well, 2023) book: https://books2read.com/u/49dN1p

Forthcoming book: https://books2read.com/u/4jB8jl

They're both urban fantasy/queer historical romance. Magic, fighting gods, that kind of thing.

@floofpaldi If you have anyone interested in medieval/ Welsh/ mythological stories, mayhaps they'd like Taliesin, Chief of Bards! Appropriate for all readers (no graphic sex scenes or excessive gore)

@floofpaldi Do you have a preferred retailer that I should link to?

floofpaldi, 5 months ago

@Klepsis You can show me where you're available. Amazon would be preferable if that's an option but anything would do, so don't worry.

@floofpaldi Love seeing everyone promoting their work! 😊❤️ Hope the family finds a new favorite among them!
My book isn't out (yet), I just have some short stories and research articles available on my BuyMeACoffee. If you do this again next year, I'll throw my work in then. I will recommend "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. Haven't finished it yet but what I have read I've enjoyed.
