He was very weary; the day had been long, and full of dragons.

Publishing & book distribution is geared towards the success spiral. Nobody wants to be stuck w/books that don't sell so wholesalers & retailers are reluctant to bet on stocking unknowns. .: if you love an indie gem, spread the word. The more people who read it, the more likely it'll be discovered.

I'm running a little behind on social media lately, but-- #SFINCS has finalists, check them out here if you haven't yet!! 😁😁😁 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiebooks

#SFINCS finalist Sisters of Mercy is on sale for $0.99 on all retailers in all countries. "A devastating, emotional, violent, complex experience.” "Mech battles and post-apocalyptic science fiction wrapped up in a deeply emotional, character-driven narrative." Link in profile. 🪐📚💙 🩸📚

Easing back into #WIPSnips with this Rai Ascendant novella featuring Kolya, whose brother is the MC of To Dream a Darker Realm (book 1). Technically it's also a sequel to "Wishes", the novelette you can get for free by subscribing to my newsletter 😁 (*Privyet means hi in Russian) 💙🪐📚

Congratulations to our #SFINCS finalists!! 🥳👏👏🥳 It was a *super* close race!! 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #indiebooks

"There’s an extremely hurtful narrative going around that my product, a revolutionary new technology that exists to scam the elderly and make you distrust anything you see online, is harmful to society."

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash — don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it. kindlepreneur.com/amazon-ask-t...

Awesome review that gets at the heart of Sisters of Mercy.

I was watching a video about an author who uses AI, and one of the things that stood out to me was how she talked about writing to market and how, as an author, writing what you want takes a backseat to the market when you get "serious" about it, and I vehemently disagree. 🧵 1/

Lukasz reveals his thoughts on the recently concluded #SPFBOCL & the #SPFBO Champions fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2025/12/spfb...

Well, uh... not sure what to make of this one, 2026, but ok...

Happy Hogmanay! As we rapidly approach the New Year I wanted to take the opportunity to look forward to some of my most anticipated books for 2026. And also look back on some of my favourites from 2025, as well as naming my Book of the Year. 💙📚

‘Tis true. [le sigh]

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.
