1. First off, the audiobook for The Forge of the Covenant (Raven Son book 4) is officially on sale! You can get it here, or at your favorite audiobook store online.
2. But wait! I hear you saying. That's not a gift! You're right. This is: I do have a few audiobook codes available for books 1-3 of the Raven Son series to get you warmed up for Forge. Just send me an email, and I'll send you the code!
3. I was thrilled to take part in two great conversations, both involving the great Jonathan Pageau, about stories, craft, elves and dwarves, and the peculiar appeal of legends of dog-headed men and other monsters. You know, the usual.
4. This review of The Gone World does a good job of talking about its virtues. It's one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. Just be warned, it's very dark.
5. If you like middle-grade Celtic medieval fantasy, join me in supporting this great Kickstarter from my friend and fellow-author C. J. Brightley.
6. Finally, here's a gift of story-consolation. The second season of my fairy tale podcast, In a Certain Kingdom, is now complete. If you like fairy tales and beautiful music, don't miss it. Here's the podcast on Apple Podcasts.
Patreon community
Speaking of my fairy tale podcast, I'd like to make it a more regular offering, instead of the occasional 10-episode seasons I've been doing so far. To do that, I need to reach a certain threshold on Patreon to make it financially viable. I'm happy to say I'm only 8 dollar away from that goal!
So if you'd like to help me reach it, I would be incredibly grateful! Here's a link to my Patreon, if you're interested.
My patrons regularly receive gifts you can find nowhere else, including:
- new short stories
- early access to all my books
- a book club
- merchandizing!
If you'd like to take part in helping me craft new and exciting benefits, I am running a survey right now, so check it out!
Reader's Nook
I recently finished Paul Kingsnorth's Beast, the second in his "Buccmaster trilogy". Not surprisingly, it's good. Do yourself a favor and get the paperback. It's beautiful.
