Hey everyone! My name is Mike D'Orazio and I just published my first children's book titled, "Anthony the Alien". It's free for download on Amazon KDP from today, 9/1/2022 through 9/5/2022. I made it for my nephew and his family since one of his favorite activities is flipping through picture books whenever we read to him. It's marked down as being for children in preschool through second grade, and is a fun way to teach them about the importance of making friends and following their dreams. For those who are interested, the eBook and paperback can be found on the Kindle store by typing "anthony the alien Mike D'Orazio" in the Kindle search bar. For those who do may wish to purchase a physical copy in the future though do not want to support Amazon, a hardcover edition will be available on Barnes and Noble Press within the next few days. Feel free to email me at [michaeldorazio33@gmail.com](mailto:michaeldorazio33@gmail.com) for any further questions. Thank you and happy reading!

The next month and a half is pretty stacked for books I'm excited about!

  • 2022-09-06 - Stephen King - Fairy Tale
  • 2022-09-15 - Richard Osmond - The Bullet that Missed
  • 2022-09-29 - Rob Wilkins - Terry Pratchett: A Life with Footnotes

I've got the King and Osmond books on preorder but I need to wait for my book funds to replenish before ordering the Pratchett biography.

Edit oh, and I forgot!

2022-09-15 - John Higgs - Love and Let Die

For those who enjoy dystopic scifi and southern gothic, I encourage you to check out the newly released 21Nothing by Philip Olsen Riendeau. Taken directly from a review (linked below) of the novel,

21NOTHING is categorized as “science fiction meets southern gothic”, and that description is certainly apt. But it may also remind readers of the oeuvre of Carl Hiassen (Bad Monkey, Strip Tease, Hoot, etc) whose main “character” is almost always the setting. Steeped in the otherworldly splendor of rural Florida, that same sense comes through in Riendeau’s writing. The sci-fi elements of the book are also rich, with high-tech gadgetry throughout: drone cars, cryptocurrency, 3D-printed guns, Demolition Man-esque commerce (purchases are made not with money but unseen “credits”), plus a surgical procedure called “whole dermal replacement.” As for southern gothic, a genre that relies heavily on imagery, Riendeau’s novel meets that challenge as well. Consider this description: “Some of the bhang clings to his lip in globules like spume washed onto the tawny beach.” Taken as a whole, 21NOTHING is a richly imagined, thrill-a-minute tale that manages to slow down in places for a bit of wry commentary on our current world that is is sure to appeal to fans of immersive, high-quality, dystopian fiction... 21NOTHING is both wry and thrilling and a perfect paean to the dangers of high-tech culture.

And if you're looking for music to go along with it, the author has that covered as well.

Springtide Harvest, a dark fantasy coming of age story.

A would-be warrior and jaded grifter must decide who they want to be and what they're willing to do to survive a monster-infested wood and the exploitative, treasure-hunting guild founded to clear it.

Hi Everyone. I published Springtide Harvest on Aug 22. It's got a few good reviews on Amazon from ARC readers, but I could really use more. It's available pretty much everywhere, being distributed through IngramSpark and Amazon. You can check out the reviews on Goodreads

If you're skint but willing to give it an honest review, DM me for a free eBook (I hope this doesn't violate a subreddit rule).

Thanks for your support.

Centers of Gravity by Marko Kloos! Can't believe it's finally out.

I'm looking forward to Nona the Ninth and the Golden Enclaves release later in the month, having greatly enjoyed the Locked Tomb and Scholomance series' thus far.

The Oleander Sword came out a couple weeks ago. I haven't read it yet but would be interested to hear takes on it.
