Welcome back to 5-Star Books in 5 Words!

September is Self-Published Fantasy Month! That’s right, a great team of bloggers have joined together to bring us a month-long celebration of self-published fantasy books. You can find out all about them and what social media platforms to find them on HERE. They also have a photo challenge to participate in, which is always fun!
