Shoggoths Free To Good Homes

[ecosophia]

I need to ask a little help from my readers.

Founders House Publishing, the publishers of The Weird of Hali (and quite a few of my other books), has helpfully provided me with a certain number of complimentary review copies of the e-book editions of the first two books in the series. I'd like to get those to podcasters and online reviewers who are likely to be interested in a quirky Lovevcraftian epic fantasy where Great Cthulhu and his cultists turn out to be the good guys after all.

The one challenge is that I don't happen to know which podcasters and online reviewers those might be. I've spent years doing the podcast-and-website thing with my occult books, on the one hand, and my peak oil books on the other; I've got a fairly good idea who's likely to be interested in that end of my work -- but tentacular fantasy novels? Not so much. 

The one thing that comes to mind is that my readers are an eccentric bunch and have astonishingly diverse interests. If you, dear readers, happen to know of suitable venues that might be interested in reviewing these books of mine, please let me know!

In saying this, I feel rather like the kid with the box full of kittens sitting out in front of the supermarket, hoping to find homes for them. Wouldn't you like to take home a cute little shoggoth broodling? It really will eat anything... ;-)

Many thanks for this.

John,

I first heard of Rythanna's 'Winter Tide' on NPR of all places. Don't know how she got it there. 'Winter Tide' is good but WoH's world is much more interesting.

Due to a Stoic challenge I am of all things - Dw i'n dysgu Gymraeg. (Hopefully not much more mangled than my English.....)

Not mangled at all. Da iawn, in fact! Welsh is a gorgeous language and will stretch your mind in useful ways. (Oddly enough, I'm in the early stages of learning a little conversational Portuguese -- the neighborhood where Sara and I live now has a lot of people whose families came over from the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands, and you hear Portuguese in the shops etc. as often as English. So I've decided to pick up enough to chat with my neighbors.)

I've avoided reading "The Litany of Earth" and its sequels -- Emrys is a very good writer, and I know I'm easily influenced by other people's writing when I'm doing fiction, if they're any good. So I've soaked myself in old Weird Tales stories pretty much exclusively while working on The Weird of Hali, and will be getting and reading Emrys' stories once the whole project is done, as a reward to myself.
