"A Market of Dreams and Destiny" by Trip Galey is out today from Titan Books UK. This is a real page turner of a story of drama and danger in the shadows of a goblin market, under an alternate Victorian London. It's intriguing and atmospheric, and more than delivers on its promises. Go read it!

We promise it's very good. You'll laugh, you may even snort laugh. The could even be explosive cackling!

Meanwhile Miss Smudge, our current #cat housesitting overlord here in the #uk is showing her utmost support in all our book launching efforts by sleeping through the whole affair after gifting us no less than three (THREE!) mice on our bed over the course of last night. All alive, all rescued. (Who needs sleep before a huge book launch when they have mouse gifts? Not us!)

Her feline snores are so loud, that I can still hear them with my headphones on!

I am feeling very cheered on. Launch day cats are best cats.

As we stated when the decision was handed down in March, we believe the lower court made errors in facts and law, so we are fighting on in the face of great challenges. We know this won’t be easy, but it’s a necessary fight if we want library collections to survive in the digital age."

#WritersCoffeeClub 12/9. If you write novels, would you consider a short story?
I’ve done both. I’ve been unsuccessful selling my short stories & I wonder if this is because I feel more comfortable with the longer form? It’s odd because I was quite at home writing short articles (many of them 1200–1800 words) in my non-fiction career. Even won a few awards for them, most recently one under 1400 words.

"The Haunting of Hill House" is a pretty boring book, except inadvertently.

"How weary one gets of this constant pounding", Theodora said ridiculously.

I listened to Kitty Takes a Holiday by Carrie Vaughn. Good book! I am enjoying this series. It's got enjoyable characters and well-executed plots. I am having a lot of fun falling in love with the genre of urban fantasy again through this series.

Today I bring you this book of the legendary thrash metal band Megadeth leading by Dave Mustaine

A lot of funny, not so funny and dark stories telling by fans

So I know I shouldn't expect more, but I was just really trying hard to get the hang of the new Books app on the Mac. And I just can't. After a chapter of the new Night Angel book, it would stop reading. That's fine, I'd do the read all command and it'd continue. But then it gets to a point where things break, and the first sentence of the paragraph repeats itself, and the chapter isn't even a part of the "book contents" element anymore. I just... I don't even have it in me to try to write out feedback that's detailed enough to be "actionable." Maybe someone with more patience can do that. Anyway I know that Windows doesn't have an EPub reader or books app of its own. I get it. But my goodness, Apple is *supposed* to be better than this. Thank goodness I have multiple systems. And yes, I know we have Voice Dream Reader or Speech Central on the Mac. But on the iPhone for many, many years, I didn't *need* any of that. It felt so much better back then. On iOS 5 or 6 when I could read through a whole book with no issues. And I did just that. I was all into Dark Shadows back then, so read a few books in that universe. It was one of my first iTunes purchases, and my iPod Touch read it perfectly.
