More about my "Accidental Capers" books for #FediBookFair

The Diamond Device - light-hearted #steampunk romp and #SPSFC2 semifinalist .

The Sapphire Solution - fantasy of manners, sequel to The Diamond Device.
A disgruntled young chemist. A reformed noble thief. A cranky, middle-aged lord. What could possibly go wrong?

Does anyone know if there's a list (preferably as a spreadsheet) of #SPSFC2 entries? I want to make sure they're all on IndieStoryGeek.com (like I did for the first #SPSFC ) but the listing on the website, while gorgeous, is a bit cumbersome.

Since it’s #SPSFC2 finals day (!) I thought I’d celebrate with a sale - grab an eBook copy of Aestus 1 for ~60% off! #scifi #SummerReads

The results of the SPSFC final are out - congratulations to all!

I don't know how many of the authors are on Mastodon, but I felt it was important to promote the results.

If any read this: well done! Getting to the final is a huge achievement and really shows the quality of your work.

Though reviews in a contest may by nature seem clinical, remember: your books always evoke a strong emotional response of joy in your readers too

Felt like writing some of my thoughts about Aestus, by S. Z. Attwell. This is basically all spoilers - I have spoiler-free reviews on my Bookwyrm.

As Aestus Book 1 is a finalist in the SPSFC competition this weekend, I felt it was a good time to write something more detailed about why I love these books.

Book review: Aestus, by S. Z. Attwell

Felt like writing a bit of a longer piece covering my thoughts about Aestus Book 1: The City and Book 2: The Colony, by S. Z. Attwell. This is basically all spoilers.
