Hello! Another author telling you about that there Waterstones discount. The Hopeless Romantic Guide's to Enchantment can be nabbed for 25% off using the code SUMMER26. Features a sapphic fairy tale by moi, along with stories by other excellent writers!
Hello! As I've had a few messages about this, the Dragon Scales series is a duology, not as trilogy as it was first announced. So that means no cliffhanger ending at the end of Emberclaw! The story is complete.
Recently finished @lrlam.bsky.social's #Dragonfall, it was an incredible read and dare I say I liked the chemistry between the protagonists better than The Empyrean Saga's (Fourth Wing and such) Incredible writing, excited to read Emberclaw :3
Authors who have ordered standing banners for events - any tips or tricks, or can you share a photo of your banner? I've been dragging my heels ordering as I'm not sure what to put on it beyond my name and some book covers, but I want it to look nice! Graphic design is sadly not my passion.
The special edition set of Dragon Scales by @lrlam.bsky.social was still available from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social at the time of recording. youtu.be/ss3a4w7cO6g 💙📚 #books #Reading #SFF #readersky #SpecialEditionBooks

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." I like this kid.

Delighted that I can use cats to promote my work again. Kopi says that Dragonfall is only 99p on Kindle for TODAY only. Can we get this weird, queer dragon book with a nonbinary lead to climb the charts this pride month? Also have some more kitten tax. We got our Bengal boys Kopi & Chai on Friday.
Writing in my local bookstore with author friends. Someone came in after reading Dragonfall in one day to pick up Emberclaw. She had no idea I was 1. local 2. in the bookstore at that moment. So I came over, personalized it for her, and we were both a bit stunned and delighted. Thank you, Becky!!

With Masquerade (pub by @dawbooks.bsky.social), @lrlam.bsky.social puts the cherry on the top of the Micah Grey trilogy, a series that has become one of my favourites, especially with how it treats themes like queerness, identity and belonging. Full review: jamreads.com/reviews/masq... 💙📚

A fun meme? Don't mind if I do. Millennial vs. Gen Z pitches for my two fantasy series, which begin with Dragonfall & Pantomime. Out now, etc.
New Review - Shadowplay, by @lrlam.bsky.social (pub by @dawbooks.bsky.social) continues with the Micah Grey series, simultaneously upping the stakes but keeping the focus on the themes that form the core of the series. An excellent sequel. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/shad... 💙📚

I posted this in late March, but realized it had an error and I was away on retreat, so it was swiftly deleted. I am very belatedly reposting and hoping to get back into my Paired Reads series, since I like highlighting what I've been reading. Do you have any favourite books on the same subjects?
I have been informed by @dawbooks & @podiumentertainment that Dragonfall is an Audible Monthly Deal for May! I think this is for all of North America, but I'm not able to see the Audible US page properly from this side of the pond. Pick it up if you fancy!
My friend made me this handy graphic to help you navigate my backlist! Which have you read, or which catches your eye? I've got epic fantasy, gaslamp fantasy, near future SF, far future SF...and hopefully many more stories to come.
I shall be sending a n3sletter this weekend, so here's a nudge if you'd like to sign up for it. These are infrequent updates with roundups of news & events & as insurance for fickle algorithms: lrlam.co.uk

I wrote this photo in book form. 5 women steal a spaceship to saving a dying, increasingly misogynist earth. The president of the USA in it is pretty Trumpian. Wrote it in 2019, came out in 2020. Predicting the pandemic was an accident.
Just a wee PSA since I've already gotten two or three invitations: I've accepted one local event, but beyond that, I am not available for any chairing or events in June. Thank you!
In the states, it's Indie Bookstore Day! We love indies, and I've always been so grateful for their support of my books. Here's an extremely non-exhaustive list of a few US ones I love--who are yours? @heartleafbooks @citylightbooks @mainstbooksmonroe @mystgalaxybooks ...and so very many more!
Want an astronaut book about 5 women in space with the world at risk?
