I'm very excited to finally be able to make this announcement!

Coming May 5th, I'll be doing a cover and title reveal for the rebrand for my indie novel series, Below the Heavens. I can't wait to show you all this amazing art!

@bookstodon

A square announcement graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. At the top of this transparent frame is bold gray text with a black outline that reads "Below the Heavens". Under that and to the left is another rectangular black frame that contains book cover art, but is halfway hidden by an illustration of a red draped cloth covering it. To the right of this frame and directly beneath the graphic title is more text, glowing red, that reads "Rebranded". Below this text, and still beside the book cover, is bold red text outlined in black, which reads "Cover & Title Reveal". Underneath this is a date, in bold gray text outlined in black, that reads "5/5/2024". Below the date and the book cover as well, centered at the bottom of the transparent white square frame, is more bold gray text outlined in black, this time reading "Book One".

    This is turning out to be a book I'm not terribly excited about: The Dog Of The South by Charles Portis. The tone sort of reminds me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but set in Texas and Mexico and without the hardcore drugs. Parts are funny, but mostly it kind of drags and I'm not sure what the point is. If I wasn't already more than halfway through, I'd probably add it to the DNF pile. @bookstodon

    Cover for The Dog of the South (a novel) by Charles Portis "Author of the No. 1 New York Times Bestseller True Grit" "Hilarious.... This is, to me, a very American voice." - Bob Odenkirk, The Week Cover is white with author, title, and blurbs in block text on a white background. A few images are placed at seemingly random intervals: a keystone, a 1970s style sedan, a tire, and a cat ready to pounce.

    Two pieces of good news this week! The first 3 Accidental Detective humorous mystery novels will come out in audio! PLUS HarperCollins/Harlequin contracted for the mass market paperback rights of something Shady at Sunshine Haven. (Mass-market is the small paperback size. Right now they're in trade paperback.) These options should bring the books to more readers. I don't know yet when they'll be out though. @bookstodon

    31 Venetia, Georgette Heyer. Re-read.
    I remembered the first part of this far more clearly than the second. I still find myself cheering Venetia on as she sets out after what she finds her heart desires. Excellent all round. @bookstodon

    Review: The Borgia Dove by Jo Graham

    The second in a historical fantasy series centering about Giulia Farnese, mistress to Cardinal Rodrigo of the Borgia family. Yes, that Borgia family.

    “How Sanctions Work” is a smart call to rethink some taken-for-granted assumptions about the power and effects of what Nicholas Mulder calls “the economic weapon.” I review the book by Narges Bajoghli, Vali Nasr, Djavad Salehi-Isfahani, and Ali Vaez. @bookstodon https://manaramagazine.org/2024/05/book-review-how-sanctions-work-iran-and-the-impact-of-economic-warfare-by-narges-bajoghli-vali-nasr-djavad-salehi-isfahani-and-ali-vaez/
