Symphony of Soil & Salt is out now. I have links to ebooks, but I'm waiting on my HUMAN artist to finish the paperback cover. Explores old-growth forests and mycelium connections. Tree roots guard magical gates, keeping the baddies from the Earth Realm. Cut down the trees? Uh oh. andieholman.com

Cover for Symphony of Soil & Salt, Andie Holman's fourth book in The Laughter of the Sun series. Shows a green tree surrounded by mushrooms, and their roots form musical notes. Also has a snail, centipede, and flying ladybug.

You know what's awesome? When I post about a new title, flip over to email and find a bunch of people actually bought it and are reading. This is not, in my experience, how social media book promo works in general, and it feels great, like we got a real community going here, bots or no bots
