Huge thank you to Adrian for allowing us to help out with the cover reveal for his debut urban fantasy novel Mushroom Blues. More information about the cover and the book can be found below, but I don't want to hold you up too long. So here it is!     Mushroom Blues (The Hofmann Report #1)     Isn't it stunning!?

My Most Anticipated 2024 Releases – Part 2

The second part of my most anticipated release for 2024 is comprised of indie fantasy and sci-fi titles. Due to the generally faster paced nature of indie publishing compared to trad, not all information for these titles is available, including sometimes the title. I tried to include as much information about each as I could find though. I have separated the books into 2 categories, the first being standalones or first entries in a series, so you can jump straight into any of those books. The second category being sequels to a series I have already started. I am also...

My Most Anticipated 2024 Releases – Part 1

As always, 2024 is shaping up to be a packed reading year for me, with many more books I want to read than I have the time to read. I am catching up on a few older series this year, but there are also quite a few new releases that I want to make time for in 2024. Since there are so many, and because release dates are often clearer for traditionally published books, I decided to split my list between trad and indie books. If I had to pick my most anticipated release for the year, it would probably...

Silverstones Books 2023 Year In Review

Wow, what a year! 2023 was by far the biggest year yet for Silverstones Books, and not just because it was the first full calendar year we were open. There were many ups and some downs throughout the year, but I'm really glad with where the store is as we close out the year. Let's jump in as I break it all down. 2023 Recap I started 2023 by doing pop-ups, but quickly abandoned that, as I was not seeing the traffic I needed for that due to many factors out of my control. So I went back to focusing...

Quinn’s Top 10 Reads of 2023

2023 was my best reading year yet, both in quantity as well as quality. I am currently sitting at 95 books read, all of them either sci-fi or fantasy. This was the year I discovered the wonderful self-published SFF community, which completely derailed my reading plan for the year (sorry Wheel of Time), and also skewed my list heavily towards self-pub.  Narrowing down the list to only 10 was extremely challenging, but it had to be done. I present my top 10 reads for 2023, with a few caveats. Numbers 10-4 are in no particular order, only 1-3 are ranked...

Character Deep Dive: Dane Marric of the Kallattian Saga

Next week I will review what was likely one of the most anticipated books of the year for me, Andrew D Meredith’s Gloves of Eons. While I am still deeply impressed with Andrew’s writing and the world he has created, there is something I think needs to be addressed. That is the absolute brilliance of one character—Dane Marric. If you’ve read the Kallattian Saga at all, you probably wonder if I’ve gone crazy. Hear me out.  Dane is a fantastic character exactly because he is who he is. Terrible. He’s an awful human being, and I hate him. But I...
