Been a bit quiet here with being ill and solo parenting so it was hugely fun and curative to yell at a whole bevy of kids this morning in the always lovely @dlr.lexicon , especially when their writer-in-residence @eve_mc_donnell pops in to say hi! (no, I didn't get a photo, what do I look like, a professional?) BUT a very nice time, signed all my books in Easons and Dubray, AND I got asked my favourite question ever - 'have you ever gone rogue?' I mean, I think this is what that looks like... #TalesOfDarkisle #ConnOfTheDead #NellOnEarth #SisterWake @dubraybooks #DaveOnTour

Le 10 juin, affrontez la colère des dieux avec Les Dieux Déchainés T1 : Sœur Funèbre de @daveruddenwrites . Laissez-vous porter par le premier tome de cette trilogie de Fantasy épique, inspirée par l'histoire de l'oppression anglaise en Irlande. La lecture idéale pour les fans de mythologie irlandaise et de Joe Abercrombie. 💚 🔥 Rébellion 👥 Antihéros 💀 Nécromancie ⚡Dieux dangereux 👑 Héritage 🔎 Mensonges et vérités Les précommandes sont déjà possibles, en librairie ou sur le site marchand de votre choix. Ce roman sera disponible aux formats broché et numérique. Résumé : Une fière culture opprimée. Une île envahie par des dieux inhumains. Et une jeune fille capable de réveiller les morts… Depuis trois siècles, l’île sauvage de Croí vit sous le joug de l’empire répondant. Les clans ont été soumis. Leur langue a été interdite. Leur religion n’a survécu que grâce aux murmures des prêtres traqués. Jusqu’à ce que les prières des Croís soient exaucées. Les dieux sont revenus, sauvages et majestueux, des colosses qui sillonnent l’île en plongeant l’empire dans le chaos. Les seigneurs dépossédés et ivres de vengeance luttent pour s’emparer du pouvoir. Une prêtresse implacable rallie les fidèles en leur offrant un choix simple : croire ou mourir. La reine de l’empire entame un jeu long et dangereux. Mais malgré leurs machinations, c’est une autre femme qui décidera de leur avenir à tous… Sœur Funèbre, sainte réticente de la déesse de la mort. Traduction : Olivier Debernard. Illustration de couverture : @maena.paillet .

Was trying to find a,way to make learning tricky words fun for Sam, which has now led to a nightly tower defense game where knowing different words REPELS VARIOUS ATTACKS. I'm not sure if I'm teaching him or he's teaching me tbh... #learningthroughplay #learningthroughsiege

I have been down with an absolutely maniacal dose of the flu and had to cancel a bunch of gigs/stay in bed (my least favourite activities) but on the upside I get to finish these Night Lords Chosen, which was nice. #Warhammer40K #NightLords #minipainting #sickday
