Good morning and a new #SFINCS review 😁 Phengaris by Anna Orridge is a creepy queer ecohorror with some excellent imagery and characterization. www.angelaboord.com/post/sfincs-... 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiebooks #Horror #SFF

Started the year not thinking I would do any book fairs because I never have before, and let's be real, it is kind of intimidating. Ended the year doing 3 events, having great interactions and selling well over 200 book in person. Even got the top of my head on the news. Guess it's a thing I do now.

Looking for somebody to do a content pull on your writing? May I suggest @quillandcrib.bsky.social What is a content pull? You know the impact quotes/scenes you see on social media? Sometimes it helps to have objective eyes go through and pull out the lines that excite readers. #writingcommunity

Happy Monday! We're starting off today with a review of The Penitent by Robyn Abbot as written by Ryan Kirk: www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-...

Woot woot. Waking up early on a beautiful day to get some writing in before the kids storm the room. Im really enjoying this WIP. I have a feeling she's going to be a big one.

Today's Google search was 'Do vampires poop?' Idk why. But it happened.

It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and we do take a little time for reading ourselves, too. Today, we have a review of The Drowned Heir, by @authorizedmusings.bsky.social, which is also a contender in the SFINCS novella competition. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-... #BookSky #AMoRaR #SFINCS

So many of us started writing because we loved to read, but it's so easy to put reading aside when writing becomes a business. I learned the hard way that I needed to read more for my mental health! Thanks to @blog.readindiefantasy.com for hosting A Month of Rain and Reads! #AMoRaR #writesky 💙🪐📚

Today is for interviews!
