In January, I'll be switching to my @snowcappedpress account and ditching this one. Please follow that account instead!

Like with Twitter a few months ago, I'm ditching my personal Instagram account. Follow @snowcappedpress instead! All my updates will appear there or on Twitter (#PressSnow) moving forward. Outside of social media, there is also www.snowcappesbooks.com of course. My www.aidenmerchant.com site is basically going away and has been for months now. I barely update it if you haven't noticed. There's a lot coming in 2022 from me and other writers under the Snow-Capped umbrella, so prepare yourself!

Expected January, all normal distribution channels (though Amazon might be a bitch and take longer since I'm not publishing through them) -- MILK TEETH by @andrew.post.author, author of CHOP SHOP and MONDO CRIMSON.

"Milk Teeth" by @andrew.post.author -- The paperback is finally ready, so I'm now getting distribution figured out. If not this month, it will be available in January from at least some sellers (including the printer, Lulu Publishing). Looks good, doesn't it?

On Twitter, a lot of people have been using that art AI website to see how it would paint covers for their books. This was the result for my upcoming collection, SICKNESS IS IN SEASON, due in Spring 2022. Pretty cool, right?

Tagging a couple of my main ARC suppliers...I'm sick of Amazon suddenly turning away all my reviews, so I'm not bothering with that platform anymore. I don't know why they're doing it. There's nothing bad in the reviews I've submitted. I believe this happened to @ericarobynreads earlier this year as well. Amazon is getting stupid, I think. I've had so many problems with them in 2021 with reviews, printing, communication, and shipping.

4.5⭐ This is my third or fourth outing with Russell James and easily my favorite. The others were all solid and enjoyable, but didn't latch their hooks in me. LAMBS AMONG WOLVES, however, reeled me in from the start and kept me invested throughout. Even when it seems like there's little excitement, I was intrigued and interested. James does a lot of fictional and non-fictional word building here, all of which is impressive and detailed. You can tell a lot of research went into writing this novel. I've seen comparisons to Dan Brown and Exorcist, but (oddly enough) I've never read or seen those titles. I will say there multiple thrilling sequences involving exorcisms and battles with the possessed. I will also point out that there's a lot of religious mystery and crypt raiding throughout, which was reminiscent of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft. I could see comparisons to James Rollins or Brian Moreland, as well. These influences or reflections aside, LAMBS AMONG WOLVES is smart and exciting, thought-provoking, and curiously gripping. It's not easy to make research in a story worthy of your attention, but James has succeeded here. My complaints are minor and not really worth mentioning. I'll say the final few pages in which we fast forward a bit were a bit corny for my likes, but they were also followed by a cliffhanger should James want to mess with Father Jack and his granddaughter again -- and for that, I am grateful.

I made four new book covers tonight for upcoming releases. This one is about a group of friends taking hallucinogenic drugs while camping in the mountains. It, um, goes very, very wrong. No idea when any of these come out, but 2022 is going to be busy between all my releases and the ones by others I'll be publishing or promoting via @snowcappedpress.

I just finished #clowninacornfield by @adamcesare. I really enjoyed it and didn't realize how much you could get away with in YA horror. I look forward to the sequel!

You should be following my publishing, promoting, and editing platform, @snowcappedpress. That is all.

One of my six #currentreads is Adam Cesar's Clown in a Cornfield. I'm only a hundred pages in, but I'm invested and interested.
