The Recommended Reading section grows again.

It seemed like a mere matter of days since I added a new book to the Recommended Reading section... this is because it was. Either I'm getting soft in my old age or I've read three great books in a row, each deserving their place on the site.

So what is it this time that has caught my eye, you ask?

Take a look at that cover, now flip it upside down. That's not your standard fantasy cover, that's a work of art.

The intention is clear right from the get go with Ours is The Storm: it's not the average fantasy book. It's well-plotted, keeps you guessing, has well-realised characters and an excellent pace to it all.

I was contacted directly via e-mail and was impressed by both the unconventional artwork and intriguing blurb. I bought it outright before the author could send me a free copy and I consider it money well spent.

Like many of the entries onto this site, this one is very new indeed: it came out a matter of weeks ago as of this blog post. I'm hoping that this streak of great fiction can continue well into 2015. Here's hoping I unearth a number of little diamonds in the great coal mine that is the world of self-publishing.

In other news, preparations for both a new section and a new anthology are ongoing. This will involve much e-mailing on my part, and it will happen very soon.
