My proof for The Revolution of Small Things came!

I'm HYPED to have this book in my hands.

It needs a bunch of fixes inside and out, and Amazon continues to have shit quality so I'll be ordering customer copies elsewhere, but I'm so glad to see this book come to fruition.

Getting towards the end of my final review/revision of Revolution, then I hand it off to the wife for a final look.

It goes off to ARC readers after that!

Come on down to the Greensburg Garden Party Book Fair today and see me! Pick up a book, give the wheel a spin, and support indie authors!

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

BookViral made a pretty great promo graphic after they reviewed my book, though they sullied it with AI art. Wasn't real happy about that, but I paid for a review, not a graphic.

I ordered a big print of it, and I've covered up the AI art with tropes.

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

I'll be at the Greensburg Garden Party Book Fair alongside a lot of other local authors and other vendors and activities!

Get your tickets today!

Currently taking ARC signups for my dark satire fantasy!

5 misfits seek adventure and take a quest together to rescue trapped children from a mine. They soon find out that the real monsters aren't the undead there, but men in castles.

I love when someone on KU picks up The Unknown Before Us and shotguns it in 24 hours.

Maybe you should pick this one up as well 🤔

It's full of humor, heart, and hope. Not to mention vivid alien worlds, dangerous animals that live there, and a story you won't soon forget!

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

Well damn.

I know it was inevitable that my perfect Goodreads rating would falter.

I get it though, it's not a book for everyone. No book is.

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

I did some more tinkering and I feel like this might be the final cover for the fantasy book. I'm waffling on the crown though. The angle of the old one was superior, and the more ornate design fit with the story.

I'm also including my dedication, which is all of two sentences.

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

Every author gets 1-star reviews right?

Well I got a passionate takedown of my book where they even went into detail about why they hated the spelling of one character's name.

Hit up Amazon and read the cozy scifi adventure that impacted someone so much that it made them angry!

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

My first vendor event is tomorrow, and I'm packed and ready!

It's a local borough thing, and I'll probably be the only author there. We'll see how I do!

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

"The Unknown Before Us succeeds because its science fiction ideas never overshadow its characters. Beneath the alien landscapes and hidden histories, is a story about people trying to understand themselves — and each other — in a universe that often feels impossibly large."

[JL Butterworth, Author @jlbwritesitall]

Want a highly rated cozy sci-fi adventure with neurodivergent protagonists? Look no further!

The Unknown Before Us is a tale of identity and belonging that'll stick with you just as long as the characters themselves.
