I’m dancing-on-photons happy to reveal the cover by Rita Fei for my upcoming solarpunk novel, Murder in the Tool Library. You can pre-order it on this site as well as on some more mainstream ones. The paperbook will be available on Barnes and Noble closer to the release date on Dec 8th.

    Much as I love the design, this is an advert.

    Remember when we came to the fediverse to get away from advertising?

      Oh c’mon, there’s a stark difference between advertising from mega corps and an individual’s new book.

          I’d rather hundreds of individuals who contribute to the community posting here “Hey I made this cool thing, please check it out if you like.” Because that grows the community. Rather than tens of AstroTurf accounts shilling for corporations.

            That’s a great way to put it, thanks. I do see @Mr_Blott’s point, but as long as we we’re in charge of what is and isn’t acceptable in this community, then the slippery slope can only slip so far.

    I just want to say that I love that this book isn’t on Amazon (or is but I just can’t find it). I’m an author as well and the amount of focus there is on “get your book on Amazon!!!” drives me bonkers. Evil evil corporation, as we know (here anyways).

    Anyways that aside, cover is gorgeous, and the blurb is super intriguing. Like, a murder in a place full of things you can murder someone with? That’s a neat premise.

    I’ll set a reminder to grab it from smashwords on the 8th!
