@bookstodon

The image is the cover of a comic book that is part of a special event, "Free Comic Book Day." The title of the comic is "Street Fighter VS. Final Fight," indicating a crossover between two popular fighting game franchises, "Street Fighter" and "Final Fight." The artwork features intense close-up depictions of two characters, likely representing the protagonists or significant characters from each franchise, engaged in a fierce battle, as seen by their clashing fists that are emitting a burst of energy. Below this central image, there are additional characters from both game series depicted in fighting stances, suggesting that more characters from each franchise will be involved in the story. Ryu, a well-known character from "Street Fighter," is shown on the left, and Cody, recognizable from "Final Fight," is on the right. A female character, who could be Chun-Li from "Street Fighter," is also featured in the background.

    Read as a whole body of work (which has taken me many months) Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poetry is a tragic and audacious testament to an extraordinary creative spirit.

The cover features a stylized illustration that creatively combines elements of the Star Wars universe. Darth Vader's iconic helmet is shown with a Scorpion-like tail and appendages, set against a backdrop of space with the Death Star and X-Wing fighters visible in the distance.

    32 Murder most royal, SJ Bennett. the third entry in the series featuring HM the Queen as a detective, working through her Assistant Private Secretary, is set at Sandringham at Christmas. A severed hand is washed up on the beach and the Queen identified the likely victim as Ned St Cyr. The case is complicated by the friendship and the rules of inheritance while it takes on a darker hue than previous books in the motive.
    It's an affectionate portrait of a missed monarch. @bookstodon

    May the Fourth is also my latest book's birthday 🎉

    Domesticated Magic is a romantic fantasy towards the cosy end of the spectrum, with The Feels, and a grumpy-sunshine-type m/m pairing.

    Mateo and his family fled when their people turned to sorcery. Mateo’s own magic is tame but it’s still banned in their new home...yet they use it every day. But the sorcery seems to have followed them. They already lost their world once. Mateo can’t let them lose again.

    Animated version of the cover of Domesticated Magic. The cover, blue border (half Greek-style tiles, half Viking-style runes), title and author name are split in two by a black lightning bolt. On one side is the outline of a bull's face made of curly floral-like lines. It glides in from the left, wearing a rather insouciant expression as it stares at the viewer. A green butterfly perches on one horn, gently pulses. It stands out against the cream background, black lines, and blue border and text. On the other side of the cataclysmic split is the helm of awe, a snake-like dragon biting its own tail to form a circle around magic runes. The dragon rolls in from the right to stare at the bull, and does not look impressed.

    A SCANDALOUS 1865 DIVORCE case offers a window into New York high society—the defendant was a cousin of Edith Wharton, no less—and the time’s changing attitudes about marriage, women’s rights, and sexuality. Great balance of gossip and context. B PLUS

    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
