Didn't do a marketing post in a while, so, uh...

If you DO like:
- your protagonists a bit on the broken side of things
- women who don't give a toss about what anybody is telling them
- "oh, shit" conga lines (that thing starts a few minutes after an explosion destroyed large parts of the ship and it doesn't get better anytime, soon)

And if you DON'T like:
- toxic relationships
- violence as the ultimate solution
- stories without glimmers of hope

#HeraldPetrel might be the #SciFi novel you haven't yet read, but might enjoy. You can get it at your favorite store here:

For those who wondered about my #WordWeavers answer yesterday: Yes, I was crazy enough to design even a few pages of The Company's Handbook of the #HeraldPetrel
It is the same kind of corporate bullshit you will find in today's marketing. Not much has changed since then.

Does this count as promotion? I sure hope it does when I place a book link here: https://books2read.com/HeraldPetrel

"Beats Expectations [...] Needless to say, I will be reading any further works by this new voice (for me) - and looking into other independent authors."

Don't get me wrong, I love getting a great #review. But one that says it encouraged them to read more #IndieAuthors ? Priceless!

Totally forgotten to post this gem.
A character interview with Commander Siff Braghor has dropped. Now, Siff is a whole different breed than Galahad or Raffi...

Okay, bear with me, but I just love this review.🥺 🥰

"One of the best things about this book was the way the author has weaved a multi-layered mystery within the narrative. The suspense is palpable, driving the story forward with a relentless pace that ensures there's never a dull moment. Moreover, the author's world-building is out-of-the-world"

"Herald Petrel is an amazing science fiction read, offering a story that is as much about overcoming personal demons as it is about the thrill of space exploration. It is a heart-pounding adventure that delivers in spades, making it a must-read that will leave you thinking long after the last page is turned."
