(Left) The cover of Fey Fighters, by Owen Tyme.

The background is the stars of space, with nebula-like clouds, in blue. This has been divided into jigsaw puzzle pieces by dark lines marking the lines between pieces.

The foreground features an enormous, stylized phoenix, which is composed of fire. The phoenix looms over an Earth-like world heavily obscured by cloud cover.

(Right) The same world from the cover orbits a purple gas giant, with a stream of flame above it, which may be the phoenix, with the following text over the top:

“We’re in a human-made, goblin-enchanted spacecraft, powered by a dryad that’s under the mistaken impression she’s a nuclear reactor, half-piloted by a pixie and half-piloted by a human.”

“Is there anywhere we can go we won’t be shot on sight?”

Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk 'the Green Mile', the lime-colored linoleum corridor leading to a final meeting with Old Sparky, Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities over the years working the Mile, but he's never seen anything like John Coffey a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about John Coffey—a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs...

Masterfully told and as suspenseful as it is haunting, The Green Mile is Stephen King's classic #1 New York Times bestselling dramatic serial novel and inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film starring Tom Hanks.

Very rarely like anything labelled a “BookTok sensation” or YA, or that has a contemporary setting. Prefer older protagonists, or at least ones who are out of their teens. Prefer standalones.

(Left) The cover of Legacy of Newts, by Owen Tyme.

In the background dawn, as seen from space, above a blue world.

In the foreground is a line drawing of a red spotted newt, in white. The lines of the newt are outlined in black, to help it stand out. The interior of the line drawing has been filled with the image of a spiral galaxy in red, orange and yellow, with a blue color that shades to white at the center, which lines up with the newt's head. The galaxy almost looks like fire.

(Right) The background is a blue and orange nebula, with the following text over it:

“You gotta be real strong, real bright, real quick, or real lucky to survive drawing *attention*. Which are you?”

“I’m quick, Amelia is bright, Marta is strong and all three of us have been lucky, after a fashion: if we didn’t have bad luck, then I suppose we wouldn’t have any luck at all.”

(Left) The cover of The Inverted Glass, by Owen Tyme.

The Background is a pink and purple nebula in space.

The foreground is largely line art, in white, with a black shadow outline.

At the center is an hourglass. The bottom has black sand, with a white figure standing in it. The top has is an inverted mirror image of the bottom, with a black figure in white sand.

The hourglass serves as the balance point for a set of scales, which hold a heart and a feather. The heart is on the left and the feather on the right. The heart is lower than the feather.

(Right) Lying in blue sand is a heart made of the same sand, full of cracks. It glows from the inside in a warm, yellow color. Over that is the following quote:

Nicole felt an extreme kind of loss, realizing she’d been stolen away from the afterlife, just before finding out if she deserved punishment or not!

“How dare you do this to me? Why?”

“I’m always in need of strong spirits and I’ve seen none stronger. You have unique talents I refuse to see go to waste.”

(Left) The cover of The Next Horizon, by Owen Tyme.

The black silhouette of a man and woman embracing. They stand atop the dark side of a planet or moon in space, which has a slim crescent along the right side. The background is the stars of space, but some have been highlighted with a heart shape that surrounds the couple. Everything is in shades of blue.

(Right) Deep space, displaying the edge of an orange and blue gaseous cloud from a nebula, while most of the stars appear golden in color. Floating in space is a square, red leather book with the image of a newt stamped on the cover. Over the top of everything is the following text:

“You can back down and cooperate, right now, or Marta will hit you so hard, you should reach a tenth the speed of light…”

“No one will ever find you again, but even if someone does, there’s no way they’ll have the capacity to safely slow you down, before you’re gone to them!”

<p>Hey, if you'd enjoy a KU-style program that doesn't support Amazon (AND doesn't require exclusivity from its authors, which I deeply appreciate), check out all the fantastic romantasy being highlighted this month in Kobo Plus (including some of mine)!*</p><p><a href="https://kobo.com/p/kobo-plus-romantasy" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>kobo.com/p/kobo-plus-romantasy</a></p><p>*All of my self-published ebooks and audiobooks are available through the Kobo Plus program, but only a few are shown in that promo.</p><p><a href="/tags/romance/" rel="tag">#romance</a> <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a></p>

An illustration shows a feather pen writing in a hardcover notebook. The text around it reads: Кobo Plus Romantasy MAY 2025 and gives this URL:

<p>Ihr habt neulich mit <a href="/tags/raumschiffpaprika/" rel="tag">#RaumschiffPaprika</a> erlebt, was passiert, wenn Tim mal eben schnell eine Idee raushaut.</p><p>Jetzt stellt euch vor, er hat 20 Jahre, um einen <a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#Fantasy</a>-<a href="/tags/roman/" rel="tag">#Roman</a> zu schreiben...</p><p>Tja. Freue mich wahnsinnig zu sagen, dass ich von der ersten Seite an dabei war. Jetzt ist es endlich da.</p><p><a href="/tags/diemagischenlande/" rel="tag">#DieMagischenLande</a><br><a href="/tags/arkinderspringer/" rel="tag">#ArkinDerSpringer</a> Teil 1 und Teil 2 sind fertig!</p><p><a href="/tags/timmuckenhaupt/" rel="tag">#TimMuckenhaupt</a> hat's geschafft!*</p>

Foto. Mit HDR-Effekt und Vignette.

Zwei Bücher nebeneinander. Das Cover zeigt einen Pfad in einem Wald. Einige der Pflanzen sehen eher aus wie Dinge, die auf einem Riff im Meer wachsen würden.
Oben in roter Schrift:

Die Magischen Lande

Darunter ein Symbol in schwarz. Ein Kreis mit einem Punkt in der Mitte und vieren auf 12, 3, 6 und 11 Uhr. Um den Punkt in der Mitte drei Quadrate ineinander. Davon führt ein Strich nach unten.

Titel auf beiden Büchern darunter in Schwarz:
Arkin der Springer Teil 1 (links) und Teil2 (rechts).

Ganz unten in Weiß:

<p><a href="/tags/scribesandmakers/" rel="tag">#ScribesAndMakers</a> 15. How's your creativity going? Is there anything you would like help with?</p><p>I'm liking the zero pressure approach. Making some changes, and rediscovering the rough edges of sketches. I've been "finishing" too much. Need to relearn that rough and dynamic doesn't always mean unfinished. I spent far too many hours trying to "finish" this, only to like the rough sketch a lot more. So, I'm embracing it. </p><p><a href="/tags/fantasy/" rel="tag">#fantasy</a> <a href="/tags/illustration/" rel="tag">#illustration</a> <a href="/tags/witch/" rel="tag">#witch</a> <a href="/tags/writingcommunity/" rel="tag">#writingcommunity</a></p>

Digital sketch of a curly haired man looking up as he whirls his hands around above his head, creating a colourful swirl of smoke.
