Author Chat: Alex Grecian on “Rose of Jericho”
Every time an author is willing to sit down and chat with me about a book I love, it blows my mind, and following my interview with Alex Grecian, I’m still wiping the grey matter from my shelves.

Join the ridiculously talented “Drew Huff,” and I as we discuss her brand new gloop and tendril-filled epic “The Divine Flesh,” which is out today- March 4th from Dark Matter Ink.

Australian & New Zealand Author Showcase No 27 – Livia J Elliot
An idea squeezed into my head in 2023, after seeing so many of the book community gathering at conventions across the US and UK. And once my FOMO subsided, I got to thinking about who might be gathered together if we had similar conventions closer to home. Pending the master planning required to arrange a […]
Cover Reveal – Claws Of The Collector (Shade the Collector #1) by Douglas Lumsden
Douglas Lumsden is the author of the brilliant (in my opinion) Alexander Southerland series which consists of seven books plus the sharp and gloriously nasty novella The Demon’s Dagger which is set in the same world.
