99.9% co-sign. The 0.1% is this one person who reviewed the wrong book of mine on Netgalley, got in a huff when it was pointed out, and then did this (including to a book I wrote a song in for a friend)...
In my novel The Thirteenth Prince an imperial expansion fueled by greed, graft, and religious conviction is about to begin. In my story in the "Lesbians in Space" anthology a sapphic love story unfolds in a ruined world

"In general? Id say that it was akin to oceans 11, Italian job, the a team and mission impossible met up and decided to take a run into middle earth and went the way of Orwellian politics with the ministries" All this for 0.99? Yes!
"the most disgraceful thing in their estimation is to tell an lie" I wonder what it is about the civilisation of Iran that most offends him?
This is a sapphic romantasy, brimful of intrigue, peril, magic and violence.
The end of the Stuff Your Kindle period saw me tip over 1k downloads for my precious baby. Would I have preferred to make a thousand sales in a weekend at my derisory royalty rate? Yes, of course. But am I pleased that there are now 1000 people who might read my story? Absolutely.
"The Thirteenth Prince" features two clerks in an Empire committed to a religiously motivated, culturally imperative, perpetual expansionary war. When they discover that the latest front is being opened for corrupt reasons they have to choose whether to submit or resist. It is free from 19-22 March.
The constant drip drip drip of rejection can be corrosive for fledgling writers, so getting an oz of positivity is delightful And then there are reviews like this one. To be called out, positively, in an anthology which has so many heavy hitters, is mind blowing. Pretty proud.

Many people have enjoyed words I have written. Some have not. Many have.
For lovers of romantasy, here is Chapter One of "They Who Receive" A princess and a foreign captive must face the peril of deadly court politics and embrace the fate the Gods foresee.
My new series Those The Gods Love is set in the same world in a different historic period. Both are sweeping, epic, romantic fantasy.
