All I wanted, from the moment I opened my eyes on the ship, was to get my life back. Now, it was crashing into me with such perfect, brutal clarity, I would have given anything to make it stop.

"The characters, particularly Raiza, the master assassin, are very alive in the telling. You get an immediate feel for the world they inhabit. Solid 4 star read." #shortstory #99cents #fantasy

"The fighting scenes are beautifully written and the characters have depth and believability. C. L. Schneider did an excellent job creating this universe." #kindleunlimited #epicfantasy

[C.L. Schneider, Fantasy Author @cl_schneider]

A forbidden love. A tragic night. A desperate vow. A dark spell that ripples through generations to change the world.

Love this Goodreads review for Rise! 😍 It sums it up perfectly. Do you have your copy yet?

I posted this video less than four hours ago, and it already has 10,000+ views. Might become my most-watched ever.

Clearly we aren't done talking about the Shy Girl scandal!

Here's my take on what happened and what it means for every author hoping to get published.

Something I couldn’t have even imagined in my wildest dreams a few years…doing a signing of my debut novel at Barnes & Noble. 🩵

[Larry Correia @monsterhunter45]

If you guys liked Academy of Outcasts, a friend of mine has a new book you'll want to check out. It's a progression fantasy (like AoO) and you guys loved the last Jamie Castle series I plugged (Black Badge).

I’m, Jeffery, a multi genre author. I write books and share the books of other authors. I never ask for anything in return. I just like authors.

"I finished the book yesterday and have been thinking about it all day today – a book hangover, for sure. I think the only cure is to read more of this author." #epicfantasy #kindleunlimited https://t.co/HftrNjfSlX

🔥 Book two update: Just crossed 140K words 🔥

Now, for all my non-fantasy-reader friends, let me beat you to it:

"TOO LONG!!"

Shut up, Steve.

[Alyssa Matesic @AlyssaMatesic]

Stop writing to trends.

Stop writing what you think publishing wants.

Stop writing to please others.

And start writing what feels right and true to you.

When you tune out the noise and instead honor YOUR unique voice, your readers will:

👉 Relate to your characters
👉 Connect with your themes
👉 Admire what you bring to the table as an author
👉 Feel so much more connected to your story

Authenticity shows on the page.

[Kate Halena @KateHalena]

You don’t have to write a perfect chapter today.
You don’t have to solve every plot hole.
You don’t have to feel inspired.
Just show up to the page.
One paragraph. One sentence. One idea.

[PJ Skinner/Kate Foley/Pip Skinner @PJSkinnerAuthor]

Recently, I have been inundated with emails suggesting I write romance, because I can make money writing it. I hate romance and I don't read it because it gives me the ick. All the money in the world wouldn't help. I am as romantic as a brick. Does anyone else have opinions?

[DAW Books @dawbooks]

The Demon Star is emotionally, religiously, and cosmically epic, perfect for fans of Dune, Star Wars, Gideon the Ninth, Red Rising, and Black Sun

Request this cinematic thrill ride today on NetGalley or Edelweiss!

We're coming up on a full year of Whispers being published and we're right at 2k copies sold. What an awesome, awesome thing
