Something threatened the isolated town of Gulpepper, but the town's powerful residents defeated it. So what's happening now? #GulpepperMythos #WelcomeToTheGulp #SomethingIsComing

Each book is a mosaic novel made up of 5 novellas. The Gulp and The Fall are also a mosaic novel of 10 novellas. And all three books make a mosaic novel across 15 novellas. But each novella stands alone as a complete story. Possibly my greatest writing achievement to date.

I've set up a direct pre-order for signed paperbacks of THE RISE through my website. The only way I could do it was to charge now and then the books will ship in February on publication. But if you wanted to secure your signed copy, please and thank you here:

Just by the way, asking your library to order in all three Tales From The Gulp books (The Gulp and The Fall available now, The Rise on pre-order for Feb 13th release) would be doing me a MASSIVE favour. Thank you in advance! 🖤

alanbaxter.bsky.social Alan Baxter @alanbaxter.bsky.social · Jan 16
You know libraries are awesome, right? For so many things beyond books, but especially for books. And especially for authors. Please ask your library to order in our books. It's a sale, but more importantly it puts our books in front of so many new readers. That's powerful magic.

I just had to order another box to meet the signed paperback pre-order demand. Amazing! Thank you all. Ebook or paperback pre-order available at all the usual places, of course. THE RISE drops in one month! (Signed paperbacks will arrive a week or so earlier than that.)
