V&V is a finalist in SPFBO!! Thanks in no small part to Lee's brilliance and vision as an editor! If I haven't recommended him lately, forgive me because he's a gem and the forthcoming sequel/conclusion will be vastly improved if not saved outright with his help!

Happy Launch Day to me! First Mage On The Moon is out today.

Great talk, thank you @cameronjohnston.bsky.social ! First Mage on the Moon releases in just a few days and sounds absolutely awesome. I am sold on it

“I write stories I want to read.” It sounds simple, but it’s one of the strongest predictors of long-term output. D.B. Rook’s work blends genres: Fantasy, western, steampunk, horror. Full interview with @dbrook.bsky.social:

Great talk! Too short!

A new story in the Wayward World mythos appears! @dbrook.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/cover-reveal...

The Beardsmen had an awesome chat with Aussie sci-fi / space punk author Jeremy Szal @jeremyszal.bsky.social Check it out via the link below and grab Wolfskin, the concluding instalment in his The Common trilogy- out 26th March

Do you like: The Expanse Aliens Firefly Event Horizon Space marines Fast paced action and well written characters? Then I’d recommend grabbing The Wrecking Squad by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social I’ve just finished this awesome book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series

A multi-book epic taking place across Halandor (same world as V&V, diff continent), featuring crime families, ranchers, railroads, airships, hive-mind goblins, world-ending pig people and the giant hunters who fight them. It threatens to be more complex than V&V, which I swore I'd never do again 😭

Join the Beardsmen as they venture into dark space with @jeremyszal.bsky.social This Saturday at 9pm (GMT) with @davidtlist.bsky.social @charliecav.bsky.social and @tombookbeard.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/DM6EKL-...
