A white horse with a majestic mane appears from the inside of a red, curling wave. This image is set into a background and dotted with faint glimpses of musical notes, which is also surround the novel's title "50 Reasons to Live". At the bottom, written onto piano keys, aligned horizontally across the cover, is "by Emyr Payne". Upon a brown hill, three armed and uniformed soldiers with helmets fight off a horde of insectoid creatures, some approaching from behind while the soldiers look on in desperation. Some of the creatures' bodies lie in crumpled heaps underneath their feet. An angry red and black sky resides in the background. The title Before Heavens Gate is written at the top. A colourful book cover, with a woman shaded in pink, looking down and reading a book of purple in her hands. Beneath her; a cut out of a house in a collage-like array of colours, such as a green roof, yellow doors and pink and yellow brickwork. The title scrawled across the front is "The Histories of Us" and the author at the top left: "C. J. Salf"

Popped into the Multicultural Book & Poetry Fair @conwayhall.bsky.social. Brilliant atmosphere, loads of lovely people and wonderful books.

Couldn't resist buying a #memoir and a #histfic from @stairwellbooks.bsky.social.

Often at book fairs, like the one we participated in last weekend, the focus is on sales.

Yeah, we want to sell books, but for us the true reward is the connections made, whether potential readers, other #indiepublishers, or aspiring authors.

Of course, we also bought books!

In the past they have only said no to me if the book wasn't available through their suppliers, so, #IndiePublishers, get your books available through as many suppliers as possible so I can make my library buy them
