Hello peoples.

I'm looking for 2 books I can put in my next newsletter as Reading Recommendations.
I'm looking for 1 fantasy book and 1 science fiction book.

If you have something (preferably self-) published, let me know (title, buy link) please. If you're reading something awesome, also let me know, please.

All options will go in the magic hat and 2 will be drawn before the newsletter goes out (1st Saturday of next month).

The floor is yours!

I’d like to share a small publishing milestone.

‘Drystone - A Life Rebuilt’ has gone into a second print run.

And because publishing is famously opaque, and there are so many wildly unrealistic ideas out there about how it all works, here are the numbers in plain terms...

" #Antisemitic voices are “no longer on the fringes” of #American culture that #students are exposed to, said panelist Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski at a session discussing a new #book, #Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts (Eerdmans, out now), in which 35 #authors devote chapters to each of the 27 #books of the New Testament plus four extra-canonical texts.

“It’s designed for #teaching, to unpack some of the assumptions about #antisemitism and the locations of students in these issues,” says Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian- #Jewish Learning at Boston College. His own book, Resisting Anti- #Judaism: Practices of Christian Solidarity will be released by Fortress in October 2026.

“These issues are not hypothetical, says Eric Vanden Eykel, associate professor of #religion at Ferrum College and one of three editors of Judeophobia and the New Testament."

Moving forward, working with publishers for my fiction and such, I will never tell publishers not to publish my books anywhere. Amazon, for instance. That would frankly be making sure nobody can find me or stumble upon my work. I'll share the other links and maybe not even mention you can find me on Amazon, etc. I just won't willingly tell my publisher to limit my publication channels. My audiobooks appear as an open podcast, Libro FM, and, well, you can get my books in your library. That will probably be the most I'll promote is the library, but at this stage, I need an audience more than anything else. Lastly, I am under no misguidance that me actually pulling my book from Amazon, etc. Will stop Amazon. It will just prevent readers from reading me.

I will promote libraries and indie bookstores over, well, everything else, though.
