    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.

    Thank you, Slow Ben! Excited to have you read it.

    RE: sales. Bad! Or normal? I'm not sure but not too great.

    It feels really weird and unfair (of course nothing's unfair really) because I have nothing but great reviews. In addition to Miles Cameron and my slew of indie authors, and this one awesome guy who accepted it for free from the Grimdark FB group and then actually read it immediately and loved it, I have two proper reviews: Queen's Book Asylum and Fantasy Faction, both glowing. I should have FanFiAddict and Fantasy Book Critic coming in shortly. Both reviews claim they've read it and enjoyed it plenty, but are yet to compose the review.


    I'm trying to just keep building the good reviews to then use the reviews to attract 'the right' kind of reader - people with some sway, say. Can't imagine it starts to snowball otherwise unless I become an influencer ffs.


    I like coming back here to you potsherds who have my back based wholly on loving Malazan. If anyone wants to re-up their old reviews onto Amazon or Goodreads I won't complain.
    And a ridiculous thank you to anyone who has bought the book TWICE because I can't appreciate that enough and if we meet in real life I owe a beer for sure. As always, I'll gladly send anyone with the 2016 ebook an updated ebook just cuz.

    Hey, it's me! And some visuals from the interior. Ignore my personal pronunciation of the word 'Malazan'.

    That I am. When it comes to other people's birthdays anyway. Rather indifferent to mine. :P
