What a detailed, in-depth review, not just of VIOLENCE & VIGILANCE but the events that helped create it. Thank you Grady Shelton of SFF Insiders for reading and reviewing V&V and for going the extra mile and dropping some lore on Turesia Untamed. www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

Violence & Vigilance by David T. List — SFF Insiders

A Dark Fantasy daring to dream big. The heavy swing from David T. List made full contact, delivering an astonishing opening salvo to both the gut and heart.

July News is up on Silexare dot com and details the chaos that is our summer and, importantly, V&V's recent nomination to finalist in the most expansive and prestigious indie-published fantasy novel competition in the world.

V&V is a finalist in SPFBO!! Thanks in no small part to Lee's brilliance and vision as an editor! If I haven't recommended him lately, forgive me because he's a gem and the forthcoming sequel/conclusion will be vastly improved if not saved outright with his help!

Congrats to @davidtlist.bsky.social, for Violence and Vigilance being selected for the finals in SPFBO11. Not at all surprised. One of my favorite books I've worked on in the past few years. A VERY well-deserved inclusion. #amwriting #amediting #booksky #books
