Pat who?
I'm actually about 80% through a list of 100 fantasy YouTube influencers, finding the ones that suit Imbalance, and asking them if they're keen - hoping Miles Cameron's blurb does the heavy lifting. Very few responses at all, mostly negative, but I did do my first interview over at Bald & Balding. I should send to the final 20%. I really... don't want to go on Tiktok. And yes, I'm not paying for ads and have already turned down an aspiring publicist.
Purge of Ashes - out today! Malazan inspired novel, long time coming, out in its definitive form

Randomly, today's Oatmeal comic/announcement had a panel that felt relevant.
