Heads up that the RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WIND ebook is on sale for 99 cents until June 17th, so if you want a fantasy book about pirates, with bawdy comedy of a Terry Pratchett flavor (including the quiet anger about systems of institutional oppression), check it ouuuut, it is your Pride summer read AND IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH ON EVERY PAGE I PROMISE

#oh that is very exciting #I missed when ATOGAI was on sale and I still lament it #collecting these books like little gems #alexandra rowland #running close to the wind

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

The Fantasy Romans book, at last

So excited to reveal the cover to my new book today, The Wisdom of Emperors! You can check it out on Kickstarter, along with the full summary!

Inspired by the story of the Ancient Roman emperor Hadrian and his lover Antinous, The Wisdom of Emperors is a second-world adult fantasy novel written in the style of a fictional academic text. It documents the translation and study of a world-changing artifact discovered in an archaeological dig: a manuscript which provides the clues to finally unravel the mysteries surrounding one of the most famous emperors of the ancient world.

The Kickstarter campaign is for the deluxe collector's edition, but you'll be able to preorder the standard hardback/paperback, PLUS the early-access ebook, available to backers well before general publication to everyone else. And there's going to be some really, REALLY cool merch as well (genuine papyrus bookmarks, designed and blockprinted by my own hands!)

Anyway, the Kickstarter goes live on May 5th at 4:00pm EST, so if you are the sort of person who reads news articles about major new archaeological discoveries and gets SUPER MAD that they don't tell you absolutely everything about why it's important and what it changes about what we thought we knew..... this one's for you, babe. ;)

Also I was told by a publishing industry insider that this book probably wouldn't sell because publishers are explicitly saying that they don't want "challenging" books, they want books that (and i QUOTE) "aren't necessarily making readers think"

So if that pisses you the FUCK off, sauce me a signal boost.

#neat!#I do love this author and the world they’ve built and put so many (all?) of their books in #go tumblr go!#the wisdom of emperors #fantasy romans book #ancient rome

I went to a conference showing off this tech back in 2013 and I am so glad to see a TikTok because it means that the technology is getting more popular and ubiquitous

“oh but steve deserved a happy ending” and why couldn’t it have been simple and realistic instead of an assassin of his character? for example, passing the mantle to sam and going on a road trip with the man he’d spent years fighting to get back. after saying goodbye to sam, they get in beat up truck with nothing but two small packs, a few novels, and steve’s sketchbook. “so. where to first?” “I was thinking jersey” — they share a laugh, and drive

There’s so much about this. The tumble itself is so irredeemably funny. The child stops asking for food and just stares in silence as the adult completely beefs it. The adult, absolutely ashamed, wandering off screen, refusing to make eye contact with the baby.

Perfect 10s all round.
