Bro, I would totally outlast you in the dungeon. I say as I sit in my air-conditioned car, sipping an iced tea after buying groceries.

July Update: Finished a draft of Mayhem of Scoundrels. Working on revisions now. Looking at Jan/Feb for release. My son was born in May. He’s pretty cool! My first out-of-state event in this week: Rebels and Realms in Northwest Arkansas. I’ll be at Dragonsteel this Dec!
We are so excited to share the cover of The Mayhem of Scoundrels by @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social! War beckons and nothing is as it seems. Allies and enemies blur together and no one is safe. Preorder here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... Add to GR: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...
So ummm…surprise! Cover reveal time!
Adam Bassett@adamcbassett.com · 3mo agoThe cover reveal for @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social's THE MAYHEM OF SCOUNDRELS is live on FanFiAddict's blog! One of my biggest surprises of last year was how much I loved book 1 in Lawson's fantasy series. Now, book 2 is on the horizon. @fanfiaddict.bsky.social 🔗 fanfiaddict.com/cover-reveal...
Well, i decided to take the plunge and start organizing an anthology for fantasy and sci-fi authors in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. I don’t really check Bluesky anymore, but hit me up on insta if you’re interested in learning more!
I'm like a mom, I don't have favorites because I love all my indie author friends. Instead, I'll shout out some I've read and loved recently @luketarzian.bsky.social @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social @bengalley.bsky.social @emilybarlowauthor.bsky.social @paulgzareith.ink @benjaminaeveryn.bsky.social
Helen Whistberry@whistberry.bsky.social · 4mo agoPro reader tip: not only are there more books in the world than you can read in a lifetime, there are more awesome indie books than you could. So what I'm saying is, you better get busy! 😂 QRP or comment with your favorite indie author(s) to give them a boost today!
I’ll post a few of the reviews with the comments from readers: @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social : “You were right, that guy who gets introduced near the end - he’s my favorite too!” *shows him the novella* “Cory, you holdin out on me?! I’m almost done! Can I get that tomorrow?!” The Envoys of War
Okay, for custom table cloths and banners, has anyone used a cheaper option than Vistaprint? I trust Vistaprint to do a good job, but there are these other sites that are so much cheaper...
I don't really use bluesky much anymore, but hey, my books are available on the Broken Binding now! Signed Bookplate editions! If you're UK or Europe-based, this could be a cheaper way to get a signed copy!
More coming for Feb’s 🐦🔥 Project Phoenix additions, but my stack at home was full!! Thank you so much to all who sent in books! @mark-engels.com @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social @alexarch.bsky.social @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social The patients are so grateful and I was asked to send their thanks! 💚📚💨
The Envoys of War has reached 150 ratings on Goodreads! When I first started, my goal was to someday get to 100 ratings, but I never expected that or this to happen within a year and a half of publishing. I’ve been so lucky with all the amazing readers I’ve met! Super excited for the future!
Spfbo XI review number two! The Forgotten Dawn by Laura Blake! This was a really good fantasy with romance! I actually buddy read it my wife and we both really enjoyed it. @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social

My first SPFBO review for Fanfiaddict! Blackwater by Emily Blakeny is a romantic dark fantasy with action, thrills, and romantic tension. This was a really fun read!!
I've kinda stopped posting anywhere but Instagram. I like Blue sky, but it often feels like I'm talking to myself! If you're an author here, what's something cool you've worked on recently (a chapter, a line you just really liked, etc) If you're a reader, what's a book you've enjoyed recently?
Some of the different comps I’ve gotten for The Envoys of Chaos! Banter, bloody action, friendship, and a whole lot of heart. I’d be honored if you gave it a chance!
So I have this audiobook. It’s 3 hours long. Full of banter, bloody action, and some burgeoning, bittersweet romance. People have liked it. You can listen for free in the US or UK, because I have audio codes for you. It’s also set in a frigid wasteland, so like, it’s perfect for this weekend.
9/10 meteorologists agree that, in order to prepare for massive winter storms, you should read books set in frigid climates. Like my books, The Envoys of War and the Pawns of Havoc. It’s cold, but the banter is fire! (The meteorologist who didn’t agree is dead to me now).
Some random person: “AI helps me outline.” Me: Can AI do this? I didn’t think so! My outlining is basically just chaos and vibes, which honestly also describes my books.

I’m doing better with my writing schedule and I’ve written at least 1,000 words each of the last seven days (5 of those days after teaching 9th graders all day). Please clap.
New character art! This time we have everyone’s favorite moody mage, Tobias, and violent lutist, Evalia! Amazing artwork as always from @cblansdell.bsky.social
