Michael Shotter<p>Very pleased to share an article I was asked to write for Shepherd as part of their "best books" series. If you're not already familiar with this excellent reading discovery and recommendation site, it's absolutely worth a look.</p><p>To celebrate, the Kindle edition of my featured book "Shards" will be just $0.99 on Amazon for a week starting at 11AM EST today. Additionally, "Academic Displacement," the first standalone story from "Shards" is FREE via Amazon until this Saturday, and available right now!</p><p>Please consider using the links provided in the article for any Amazon purchases to help support Shepherd's mission to promote authors and their works. Thanks! 📚🙂👍</p><p><a href="https://shepherd.com/best-books/speculative-fiction-universes" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shepherd.com/best-books/specul</span><span class="invisible">ative-fiction-universes</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mastodonbooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mastodonbooks</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/scifi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>scifi</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/specfic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>specfic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/horrorbooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>horrorbooks</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookrecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookrecs</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookrecommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookrecommendations</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/readingrecommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readingrecommendations</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/readingrecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readingrecs</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/booktodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>booktodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/booksofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>booksofmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/readersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>readersofmastodon</span></a></p>
