Love fantasy with strong female leads and dark moments that leave you a little traumatised?

Reborn in Ash is my dark epic fantasy debut where a loner thief discovers the gems she steals contain magic and she’s one of the few who can wield their power. Oh, and magic only just returned to the world!

To round off the week, here is a sneak peek at Ben Baldwin's art for the re-release of The Executioner's Blade by Andrew Knighton. We love the fact that Lena is very clearly an older woman, just as she is in the story. Pre-orders will open next week, and you can get this one at FantasyCon.

*orders 10 copies of the fixed Echoes of Chaos version from Bookvault*

Oops my finger slipped😈

Basically, I'm confident my changes to the margins will be fine, since they now match Reborn in Ash. The cover was PERFECT omg just wait. This hopefully means they'll arrive in time for my Sudbury event!

Darn. The Bookvault proof arrived and the margins are too small. Fixed it up and also reduced the line spacing (which was too generous), and low and behold, I kept the page count the came so I don't have to redo the covers, BWAHAHAHA

Well, now that I've established most people DON'T think the cover is genAI (phew, because it's not!)

Desperate to destroy the twisted beast that was once the woman she loved, an outcast makes a costly deal with an imprisoned immortal.

FU too @labouruk.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social

I'm starting to wonder if people aren't interacting with Echoes of Chaos because they think the bird on the cover is genAI? It isn't. It's a *paid* stock image of a watercolour painting uploaded in 2017. I dunno. My reach feels worse than it did with Reborn in Ash last year :\

A proof for Echoes of Chaos is arriving today! AAAAAAAAH!

Well, our cat is now banned from going outside. There's something crawling in the walls.

Off to write a scene where a character points out that polyamory harms no one. Because it doesn’t.

For a few days before my period, I lose my emotions. It’s like I disappear, and I become a shell. Urg. I hate it. But like, I don’t actually feel that right now. I know I hate it but the feeling doesn’t register. On days like this, I have to mask around my children. It’s not that I don’t want them

Last night I experienced the end of the world where a gravitational anomaly stretched and twisted areas. If it was happening nearby, you could feel a wave of gravity before it. Even though it seemed random, we ran, until a wave passed and everything stilled. We froze, waiting, watching for the end.

The final storyline for GW2 (for now) was subpar, and the conclusion was entirely anticlimactic. Urg.

Echoes of Chaos is now available for pre-order on Kobo! It'll also be on Kobo Plus.

I'm reading the draft for Elements of the Fallen book two, and... wow my writing has matured in the 6 years since I wrote it. It's so long since Echoes of Chaos was in that state, I'd forgotten. I mean, it's not awful in terms of prose, but the interiority feels immature.

Omg my water bill is actually going down by £7/month. That's nice considering it went up by 50% in the last few years. :|

I find it hilarious how bad the TikTok ad targeting algorithm is. It keeps feeding me makeup ads. I think I’ve worn makeup maybe a dozen times in my life 😂

I probably should have taken a break today. Instead I picked back up the rewrite for book 2 and worked a bit on a standing banner design. Gonna make the most of my brain while it actually wants to work.

>_> Ok, well... I finally managed to produce a PDF that KDP would accept, so physical proofs of Echoes of Chaos are ordered there and on Bookvault. I don't have the headspace to sort the cover file for Ingram atm.

Basically, don't produce the PDF from Word. KDP doesn't like the bloat.
