A TALE OF LOVE AND MONSTERS is a heart-stopping, action-packed fantasy adventure, a unique romance, and a deep, wise parable about self-sacrifice and family stories. Beautifully crafted kaleidoscope of distinctively new and classic legends. A MINUS
This week, I started writing The Ninety-Three, a murder-mystery set in 1918, during the closing months of the Great War. The narrator is Dr Anna Richards, a sociologist, suffragette and socialite. The story opens in Downing Street with someone hurling a brick through the prime minister’s window…
A DELICATELY HAUNTING THAI novel unfolds like a late-night story from its protagonist, a monk in his 90s telling tales of his youth in the remote jungles of the late 19th century, where tigers and crocodiles lurked in the darkness. Stunning. A MINUS
Two items brought to my attention today, in relation to Eve’s Peace, my Heroines of SOE sequel. One, the proof copy of the paperback version. Two, this wonderful review. “Love, distrust, trust, & secrets galore. Woven superbly by the author makes for wonderous reading, hard to put down book. Rating the book a 9 1/2 only because now I must look for sequels & prequels for this wonderful series...”

I'm a big fan of Isabel Waidner and have read all of her #novels (which makes them the only contemporary writer I've read ALL the books ;). This is my take on their latest novel: Corey Fa Does Social Mobility.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #literature#queer#lgbtqia#reading@bookstodon
I'm seeing so much #antisemitism right now. Let me share with you my traditional response to it: my SFF #novels. The ones with #Jewish main characters are The Time of the Ghosts, The Wizardry of Jewish Women, and The Green Children Help Out. https://gillianpolack.com/my-books/ The Green Children Help Out is published by a Jewish press.
I would be very happy if people shared their favourite SFF novels by current Jewish writers. So many Jewish cultures to read about! So much potential for good fiction.

"Then She Was Gone" by Lisa Jewell is a fantastic psychological thriller that follows the story of a mother trying to uncover the truth behind her daughter's disappearance.
THE CONQUISTADORES’ ARRIVAL, REIMAGINED in a playfully serious tale that darts as kaleidoscopically as a hummingbird between culture and culture and between the empires of past and present. Powerfully visual, sardonically witty. SOLID A
