A reminder that my award-winning novella, Majordomo, is on sale for only $0.99 in a shameless bid to lure readers from it to Jester.

Thanks, everyone, for all the congratulations today re #sfincs #sfincs2. I've held off shamelessly plugging the book until now, but I will put out this one reminder that Majordomo is still .99 to celebrate the launch of Jester on April 14th. And to lure you all to it, naturally. Link in the thread.

Majordomo is such a great book! 🥰
If you haven't already, you really should check it out.
Tim's next book 'Jester' - a full-sized novel this time - comes out in a few days and I am really looking forward to reading it asap.
