My company @cosmiclighthouse.co.uk is putting out a Murderbot graphic novel, All Systems Red, with a new @marthawells.com Mb short story too! @ericaschultz42.bsky.social @garyerskine.bsky.social @stillwintercraft.bsky.social @simonbowland.bsky.social ! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cos...

Banging review of A NUMBERS GAME by RJ DARK at SF Book review. I don't approve, naturally. 'The best crime novel I have read recently.' sfbook.com/a-numbers-ga...

Well, follows is a quick thread showing off the INCREDIBLE @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social special edition of MORTEDANT'S PERIL. But first, let's have a moment of quiet and say the Mortedant's prayer together.

Do it, you must join the cool goat people. Mortedant's Peril is RJ's best book yet. It's tons of fun with a strong found family vibe. And the narration by Joe Eyre is phenomenal.

Also, if you like AUDIOBOOKS, Audible has a sale on until the 10th of August and I believe MORTEDANT'S PERIL is included so this could be your chance to join cool goat people club.

It's so hard (and inadvisable for the sake of one's mental health) to read the tea leaves before a book is out, but reviews like this for WORRY BOX are proliferating. Now imagine I'm Bernie Sanders in a chair: I am once again asking you to please preorder! tinyurl.com/yz36vy32

Oh no, reviews are starting for RJ Dark's A NUMBERS GAME and people LIKE IT. Upsetting. "...excellent in almost every regard. It’s gritty but has a lightness of touch that belies some of the violence that occurs between its pages. It made me queasy at times, but also made me laugh."

A Numbers Game by R.J. Dark – Maybe I’m a Winner Playing in a Losing Game

Set in the margins of a changing Britain, R.J. Dark’s ‘A Numbers Game’ is an occasionally violent crime novel with a huge amount of heart.

A *brief* plug to say Pagans is in Waterstones' Bestselling Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror at £7.99 instead of £9.99, so you know, do with this information what you will, etc.

Mortedant's Peril, by @rjbarker.bsky.social (pub by @torbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent murder mystery that gets its best from the weird city that acts as the setting, delivering a memorable story that leaves you craving for the second part. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/mort... 💙📚

In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order: opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun We’re steeped in the pattern from birth, and apply it effortlessly.

Pretty rude of the US to bring back corporate piracy under a letter of marque and not at least bring powdered wigs with it. Bunch of fopdoodles.
