About fifty percent through my final read-through of AMotM and taking a break to see what it looks like on my Primaterre shelf. Yes, it's another big one!

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

@CThelx Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Also, I actually wrote my first bit of new Cassimer content in a while just the other day, so we'll be seeing more of him soon.

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

The final read-through begins.

A Murderer on the Moon will be ready for publication soon, and I am super excited! I really love this book (I hope you will, too! :)

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

@CThelx Thank you! It means the world to me that Cassimer helped, and you connected with him.

He's close to my heart and the reason I wrote Iron Truth, the premise being: "What if there were a character who struggles with the same things I do, except he's a seven-foot space soldier?" :)

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

@CThelx Re-reading it! So happy to hear it, that really makes my day :)

A shorter version of this interview is now available at https://t.co/MAxcsAjLvg!

With thanks to @SpotlightIndie_ , it was a really fun interview with some great questions!

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

In this interview I talk about snake charmers, the number 1 mistake you can make as a writer (you can find it in this very sentence, haha), the inimitable work of Steve Hugh Westenra, and my own upcoming SF detective novel!

Happy birthday, Joy Somerset!

If you like SFF with intense action, love and loyalty above all, and defiance against overwhelming odds... it's a good weekend to start the Primaterre series! :)

After years of Amazon exclusivity, Iron Truth (in paperback) is now available to order from retailers like Waterstones, B&N, AdLibris, bol, Bookshop, and many, many more. You can even ask your library to order it!

My other books will be available later this year, ASAP. :)

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

My upcoming novel will have not one, but two maps. I just got to see this sketch of one of them and it looks so good already!

Check out these great SFF titles, and find out why they filled me with joy last year.
What were your favourites?

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

@TimHardieAuthor Scuttler's Cove sounds so good, it's now on my TBR, too. :) Thanks for the recommendations and the mention - I hope you enjoy Lonely Castles!

[Tim Hardie @TimHardieAuthor]

At the start of another year, these are the books l'm planning to read in 2026. I'm a bit of a mood reader so I'm sure other titles will make an appearance throughout the year, but I'm going to make a special effort to pick up these.

It's time for the r/Fantasy Charity MegaSale!

Iron Truth is .99 worldwide, along with 600+ other books.

I grabbed Oksy, Come Home by @fantasticphil - and highly recommend the books by @AKMBeach, @HelynaLC , and Steve Hugh Westenra!

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

Today is the first day in nearly two years that I've not worked on this novel - it's finally finished!

...well, okay, there's one more edit pass once I have a proof, but for now the next Grace Telluride mystery is in the hands of my cover artist/typesetter. It's pretty big!

[Sofie Tholin @tholin]

@dominish_books Oh, wow, that's an awesome photo - always fun to see the paperbacks out in the world! :)

[dominish_books @dominish_books]

I had to hold on to this one until unveiling day, but I got awesome bookmail from my Secret Santa on my book club Discord. Thank you so much - a fantastic first book, and a book-of-the-year contender follow-up! 🥂🔥
