I got so wiped from GenCon I forgot to post here! Ah! Keeping busy. Working on the ARC application for Hidden Root which will go to newsletter subscribers this week! Then to the public! And how was GenCon? GREAT! Ran three amazing sessions of Who We Were. That will be out next year...

Come stop by at #GenCon and say hi! We'll have copies of my books, and art by @fallenlights.net.

Below is a mood board for my one shot I'm running at #GenCon for @greenroninpub.bsky.social this year! Would you like to play a sci-fi one shot with an amnesia mystery in a swamp? I still have tickets for the Thursday at 10am game if you're looking to start your Con weekend right!

Here's the 2025 Self-published Authors Appreciation Week Hub Page! I'll by adding posts/ links throughout the week. Be sure to check in to see what you've missed! *Please be patient as I add links. It can take me a while. #SelfPublishedAuthorsAppreciationWeek #SPAAW #SuperSelfPublished #SuperSP

Reasons I think trad publishers wouldn't move forward with Hidden Root: *No dragons *No fae *No morally grey MMC *FMC and MMC don't romance each other *No eurocentric/"traditional" feudal culture Instead I'm offering:

Sharing my playlist for the one shot I'm running at #GenCon, Who We Were. If you like futuristic mystery sci-fi vibes that are also in a swamp, there are still spots on Thursday and Friday games! open.spotify.com/playlist/6N9...

Libro.fm—an Audible alternative—is a Social Purpose Corporation; we pursue social goals, even if they conflict with financial interests 💓 When you buy audiobooks with us, every purchase benefits your indie. We also are humans (not bots), employee-owned, book ban fighters, & love to shop small.

I'll be honest, my 10am Thursday game for #GenCon this year hasn't sold any tickets yet. So if you'd like a sci-fi setting with an amnesia plot in a swamp and gives you a chance to play with @greenroninpub.bsky.social Modern AGE rules, 7/31 at 10am during GenCon is a great time to do it!

HIDDEN ROOT is the first book of The Injured Tapestry Trilogy coming out November 13th! ARC applications for a digital review copy will be available first to newsletter subscribers in August! Follow the link to subscribe: sapphylores-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe

Hey there fellow #GenCon fans. If you're looking for a game to play on Thursday or Friday of this year's con, my one shot Who We Were has slots open! Would love to see your there! #greenronin #modernage

Last day to get the epub version of Mother Revolution for only 99 cents! Hope everyone is able to celebrate the mother figures who helped build them up and make them better people.

GUYS! My sci-fi debut MOTHER REVOLUTION is ON DALE NOW THROUGH MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!! 99 cents for a thrilling story about a single mom programmer who discovers an android shackled by code... And they may not be the only one... GO ENJOY!

For Project Wholecloth, my fantasy trilogy who's first book I plan to release in November, the cover artist is almost done with her preliminary sketch ideas! She let me know the first concepts should be ready the second half of this month. I'm abuzz with anticipation! I can't wait to see them!

Hey if you're thinking about getting a digital copy of Mother Revolution, it'll be only $0.99 on Mother's Day Weekend! Have the nerdy mom in your life celebrate by reading about a single mom who goes above and beyond for her family and for equal rights.

Contract Signed, 50% down... Hopefully by early May I'll have the first sketches for my cover art! Still a lot to do but I'm excited.

Random question (okay not so random but...) If a trilogy advertises a "slow burn" romance, when is the soonest a couple could become an item? End of the first book? Second book? Third book? Reply with a comment and help an #indieauthor out! THANK YOU if you do!

Saving this line I want to put in a Project Wholecloth sequel here: "One chooses to heed a legacy. One is not bound to it."

Good news! The draft to the cover artist is in! Excited to work with her for Project Wholecloth. Meanwhile, can't neglect Mother Revolution. Now to make a sell sheet for some local indie book stores...

Currently procrastinating on: 1) Instagram post on the last book I finished. 2) Beta reading. 3) Editing my latest version of Project Wholecloth for my cover artist. 4) Sell sheet for Mother Revolution to share with indie book stores in Chicago. Being an #indieauthor is hard, but worth it. ☺️

I've been bad with updating on here but here's what's going on: 1) People are really enjoying Mother Revolution! 2) Planning my fantasy debut with the first book of a trilogy in November 3) Which means I gotta figure out my marketing for GenCon! All in all, keeping busy!
