Last week while I was doing my usual aimless scrolling through Twitter, I came across a call for any bloggers who wanted to participate in a secret project involving self published books, I knew I had to join in. It turns out that what Jodie from Witty & Sarcastic Book Club has envisioned is a Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week! So, join me today as I run you through 8 self-published books (and a few honorable mentions) that I think you should go ahead and add to your immediate TBR.

Map Reveal and Q&A: We Break Immortals (The Advent Lumina Cycle #1) by Thomas Howard Riley
Hello all and welcome to my first ever map reveal! Oh, I am so excited to share a couple of wonderful maps for Thomas Howard Riley’s upcoming debut, We Break Immortals. The maps have long been one of my favorite things about finding a new fantasy story, so when I saw Thomas, who’s as map crazy as I am, talking about potentially doing a reveal for his upcoming debut, I jumped on the chance to help him out with it.

Hello everyone and welcome to our latest author interview for the 7th annual Self Published Fantasy Blog Off!

The Drug in Me is Me — Neurodivergence in Fiction
Hello all, and welcome to this week’s article for FanFiAddict’s series on Neurodivergence in Fiction. I cannot understate how appreciative I am for the overwhelming amount of support and enthusiasm I have seen for this series of mine; thank you! For the next several months we will be bringing you a guest post every Wednesday from a neurodivergent author. This will hopefully highlight some of the challenges that come with writing for a largely neurotypical audience, while also giving valuable insight to the craft itself and providing a window into the neurodivergent experience — at least through the lens of fiction.
Review: In the Watchful City by S. Qiouyi Lu
I found In the Watchful City to be a whimsical, almost poetic account of the relationship between Anima et al, technology, and the humans that inhabit Ora. For a novella, I think this book does a great job of demonstrating how complicated and interconnected these interactions can be.
