What is an indie series that you have absolutely loved?

I recently finished reading Steadfast as Stone, book 2 in @jeffery.a.smith ‘s shores of the Deluge series, and this was a cool entry that was different from book one in every way, but is setting the stage to a really epic series.

What are the heaviest topics you’ve seen a fantasy book cover?

Shroud of Whispers by @jeffery.a.smith is a really interesting first book in a planned series. Magic, murders to solve, gang wars and necromancy - what’s not to like? This book also deals with some heavy themes, with addiction being front and center. Big thanks to the author for sending this one to me to review!

My influences
I was all about Star Wars and Luke Skywalker until I read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Like millions of others, I wanted to go live in the Shire and fight the good fight.
The Silmarillion turned my world upside down. I was worldbuilding and laying down the roots that would eventually become the world of the Shores of the Deluge, Erone.
The Black Company by Glen Cook opened my mind up to the darkness. I wanted to create a world that had stakes and consequences for my characters. No one would waltz to the end of my stories; they would be crawling across the finish line if they made it at all.
Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks introduced me to non-linear storytelling along with a widespread narrative. I wanted to create big, expansive stories that crossed multiple generations with threads holding them all together.
Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman was a book/series that I did not realize how much it inspired me until recently. I have played Dungeons and Dragons since the 80s, and this series snuck its way into my influences.
What are some of your influences? Let me know in the comments.
