I'm always going to be a fan of #SPFBO despite the trauma of last year. This year, the next round submissions start in two days (January 3, 2026).

A great review for #SPFBO semifinalist The Glorious and Epic Tale of Lady Isovar!
#fantasybooks #smitemiscreants -
@LuciaG You might want to check out the finalists for this year’s Indie Ink Awards on IndieStoryGeek.com. Not all are self-published but many are! There are also the previous two years of Indie Ink Awards on there, as well as the #SPSFC books and #SPFBO books. (Self published science fiction and self published fantasy, respectively).
-
Do you follow #SPFBO? Is your TBR ever growing because of it? If yes, this weekend you can get some of the participants' books for free or 0.99, from all the years!
And if don't follow the contest, here's your chance to discover some hidden bookish gems.

@undercarbonated @thegiddystitcher Thank you for the mention!! We have TONS of sci-fi and also fantasy from the #SPSFC and #SPFBO annual contests. In fact, as a judge this year for the SPSFC, I'm enjoying being inundated with incredible new-to-me sci-fi stories. All of them are on Indie Story Geek--I make sure of it every year.

Who was stupid enough to schedule a book giveaway the day after election day? This guy!
You can get my #SPFBO semifinalist humorous fantasy novel, The Glorious and Epic Tale of Lady Isovar, absolutely free from now until Sunday the 10th.
Grab a copy on me, and enjoy the chaotic and charming adventures of a fierce lady knight and her long-suffering squire.

A SPFBO judge reviewed Amiant Soul as "An epic fantasy without needing to be a trilogy. Every character is superbly written and I was totally invested in every one of them.... I gave this book 5 stars - I loved it to bits and I can see it being a constant reread in the future."
Unfortunately that judge wasn't the judge who had Amiant Soul in their batch, and it's out of the running.
Best of luck to all the SPFBOX books - may they each find their readers, winner or not.

Izzy and Chevson's epic adventures made it to the semifinals of #SPFBO this year, and I couldn't be more proud of them. If you're looking for a fun romp full of chivalry, honor, valor, and utter goofiness, give Lady Isovar a try!

Stoked to read Dave Dobson's haiku inspired by chapter one of Amiant Soul:
Deathly pub patron
gets heave ho; heaver balks; fired.
Who’s the poisoned man?
You can read all 300 of his haiku inspired by the books in this year's Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO 10 or SPFBOX) here: https://davedobsonbooks.com/spfbox-haiku-project
and you can get Amiant Soul here:
https://deborah.makarios.nz/amiant-soul/
and find out for yourself - who IS the poisoned man??

OK, that's a wrap on my #SPFBO #SPFBOX haiku project. I read the opening parts of all 300 entries and composed an inelegant, silly haiku about each of them. Took me a month, about 2 hours/day. I so enjoyed reading from everyone's stories. They're here:

I'm going live on the youtube channel "Bald&Balding" with some fellow "Self Publishing Fantasy Blog-off" authors in about an hour. Replay should be available afterwards too.
Feel free to hop in and watch, or join the live chat, if you'd like to see me trying not to panic on a live stream while answering questions about Changeling! ^_^

595 entries in 24 hours for the 300 places in SPFBOX!
I'm delighted and relieved to see that Amiant Soul is one of the 300.
May the best book win!

The SPFBOX (Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off 10) entry form is open until 1pm Saturday GMT!
My previous novel The Wound of Words was a semifinalist for SPFBO 6 in 2020, which was a great experience, so I've entered Amiant Soul in the hope it will be among the 300 books randomly selected for this year's competition.
