Attention, Brandon Sanderson fans! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to put me in the position to write full-time by turning me into a multi-millionaire. This post will NOT self-destruct in 5 seconds. 😎 @bookstodon

KING MAKER is the first book of Maurice Broaddus’ ambitious KNIGHTS OF BRETON COURT trilogy, a unique re-telling of the #Arthurian legend, playing out on the crime ridden streets of an African-American neighbourhood in Indianapolis. Check out my review to find out if the book warrants the plaudits that describe it as The Wire meets Excalibur. @bookstodon

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 1: What’s your favorite easter egg in your own work and/or another work of fiction?

My debut novel has 2 #Babylon5 Easter eggs, one deliberate the other completely accidental (and escaped my notice for ages). The intended reference was in naming the book, THE EXERCISE OF VITAL POWERS, after episode 16 of Season 4. The unintended reference is in a scene wherein the protagonist asks the two questions the show is known for. 🤓

I’m no fan of #Audiobooks, yet there’s one title I have no hesitation recommending to people who are. STAR WARS: THRAWN (UNABRIDGED), is a great showcase of how good the audio format can be, even for listeners who have no interest in #StarWars.

Narrated by, Marc Thompson, get your copy from #AppleBooks today, and follow Thrawn’s rise to power—uncovering the events that created one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history. @bookstodon

ROMANITAS by Sophia McDougall is a tale of political intrigue set against the backdrop of a Roman Empire that has endured into the 21st century. Read my review to find out whether the book successfully delivers on the promise of its intriguing premise. @bookstodon

If an #ebook subscription service sounds like it might be for you, please consider supporting one that isn’t owned by #Amazon, that exploits its dominant position to force authors into exclusivity deals that prevent their work from being available elsewhere. There are alternatives to #KindleUnlimited, including (but not limited to) #Everand. @bookstodon

It’s been over a decade since Tor Books UK revealed that the decision to sell DRM-free #ebooks didn’t negatively impact their business or cause an increase in unauthorised file sharing. Sadly, few traditional publishers have followed suit. I hope the rest of the industry takes the hint, sooner rather than later. The day ALL publishers stop infecting their ebooks with #DRM can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned. Defective by design is NOT a feature. @bookstodon
