An Intro to Indie Fantasy For Those Wondering Where to Start
The idea for this came to me several months ago, probably during the latest flair up of “indie/self pub is inferior” or something similar. The point of which is not to argue, but to highlight some writers that are either underrated, or great examples of where to start with indie fantasy. My original idea was […]
Review: We Are the Origin (Wrath of the Gods #1) by C. M. Lockhart

Forced into a life of serving the queendom before she was old enough to deny them, Brandi was a cultivator of death and the queen’s own blade, reserved only for the disloyal and the blasphemous.

Series Spotlight: The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, & Charlie Adlard

Series Spotlight: Dexter (#1-8)+ by Jeff Lindsay
I’ll start by saying that I haven’t read these since 2019, however it is one of the series I find myself thinking over the most. I was of the tribe that watched the show first, and honestly at the time, this kind of novel wasn’t really my thing, so hats off to Michael C. Hall’s […]
