The 1st law trilogy.
Read it first on paper and was completely hooked.
Now re reading it again on my #Kobo
Forget about Lord of rings; about a song of ice and fire , in fact forget about all the genre.
They all pale in comparison.

¿Verdad o mentira?.- Si llegados a la mitad de una novela no te está gustando, mejor dejarla.
Trapped in the mansion's walls,
we struggle to break free.
Sighs echo through the halls,
but our plight no one can see.

The cover tells part of a story
that might be much too gory.
Like a small town that appears quaint,
the real story might cause you to faint.

I'm very happy to present the fourth title in my series of Grammaticus Free Library #ebooks, designed primarily for English language learners (levels C1/C2), and all lovers of good #literature.
This one contains a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, ‘The Minister’s Black Veil’. First published in 1832, it’s in many ways typical of Hawthorne’s oeuvre: it’s a bit dark, unsettling and psychologically intriguing.

Nature stills as if holding its breath.
I stare at my shivering guests

Looking for something to read? Today, I'm re-releasing my entire library of #scifi and #fantasy #ebooks which have always been #CreativeCommons licensed.

For those of you into #ebooks, for some reason I only now discovered #StandardEbooks. It's a small selection of #PublicDomain #DRM-free ebooks.
They take texts from #ProjectGutenberg and properly typeset them and correct OCR and editing errors. They look very nice on your favorite eReader.
If you're using an Apple device, select the "Advanced epub" file and open in the Books app.
If you're using a Kindle, choose "azw3", but don't use "Send to Kindle". (See their FAQ.)
Back when #Icelandic publishers were getting started with #ebooks I warned them that the only way to combat #Amazon was by selling their stuff without #DRM and thus be able to reach #Kindle owners.
They decided to go with #Adobe DRM which mostly served to confuse customers who came to the conclusion that buying Icelandic ebooks was just too complicated. A few years later they gave up on DRM but the damage was done.

Here's an idea for a high-end #ebookreader device:
The device opens like a real #book, has two screens, left and right, each one mounted on a self-expandable/inflating pad, its thickness measuring the pages read/left. Front and back covers of the e-book currently read are always visible on separate screens at the front and the back of the e-reader's case.
Boost, so I could buy one before I die 😎 📖
There's a real need for an app that does, like, half of what Calibre does, but with a much more streamlined and intuitive UI. #ebooks
Now an #ebook too. Only $3.99 yet. Is nominated for the Elgin Award.

I use #Linux as the main OS on my computers, but also use Windows 10 on one.
For the sole reason to download the #ebooks I buy.
I play the occasional Windows-only game as well, but those I can do without.
I can't do without ebooks.
I really, really wish there was an open standard for getting any ebook, with or without #drm, onto any device without having to rely on a single piece of software from one company.

I write indie fantasy fiction with romantic subplots and happy endings. Mostly enjoyable fluff, occasional serious vibes, never epic or grim. To date, my books are:
Fair Haven: in Stronghold Fair Haven, Hazel’s job is to protect the Mancer, a highly-prized magical engineer. When a runaway Mancer requests sanctuary, bringing the threat of invasion in zheir wake, Hazel’s comfortable life is disrupted in more ways than one (m/nb and m/m romances) (Coming November)
The Uses of Illicit Art: Artisans have narrow magical powers in this pseudo-Victorian world, and Kit’s underwhelming Art is unlocking any door. Criminal gangs find it useful, though, so he’s hiding out to avoid them. Then bounty hunter Alexander Locke comes for him. Don’t worry. Kit’s very good at locks 😉 (m/m romance)
Domain Trilogy: Rana’s adventures in a land governed by Grimm begin when the fairytale prince fails to show up to rescue the princess and Rana decides to just do it herself. She hasn’t reckoned with the charms of one wicked wizard. But sometimes fairy tales are just plain horrible and you have to work very hard for your happy ending (f/m romance)
Mosaic Virus Duology: a virus transforms women into creatures known as Mosaics, mindless, eerily beautiful…and collectible. Simon collects Mosaics for his king, but his latest catch is not so easily collected. She hasn’t yet lost her mind, and she has plans for Simon (f/m and m/m romances)
