UPDATE: Ebook is finally out on kindle ! Paperback editions of Earthflown are now available at Amazon , B&N , Bookshop.org & Indigo (exclusive special edition)! If buying from Amazon, please take care to fulfil directly from Amazon only - due to the large number of illustrations within, unauthorised reprintings by scammers will have blurry / subpar photocopied art.

--------------------------
Earthflown is an unmarketable collision of gritty collusion and romance (and if you're a pure crime reader, it's probably a bit too much romance; if you're a pure romance reader, perhaps a bit too much antitrust + journalism frustration).

You'll love it if you're fascinated by:
💧 the banality of magic (fantasy archetypes immersed in capitalist hell)
💧 water / resource crisis + a 'death by privitisation' alt SFF universe
💧 corruption arcs + (extremely) flawed characters
💧 imperfect, voluntarily blinding love
💧 found family, sibling energy, twinsies, platonic intimacy
💧 exhausted grumpy x soft sunshine
💧 'touch her and i'll help her kill you because that's what she enjoys'

Where there’s greed, there is a price.

You’ll find there’s profit to be made”

I'm so sorry about this -- amazon literally said to us that they have no idea when the ebook will come out, they don't know what the technical bug is, no one can fix it etc. We are at the whims of his holiness mr bezos in this beautiful garden of oligopoly.
