We are the protectors of time, of history itself. The past isn’t nearly as set in stone as you might think; it can change and it can be changed, it’s just hard to do, and we have to be very careful how we do it. The COMPLETED 5-PART "Displacers" #urbanfantasy #timetravel series. #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚

At school I wanted to be a pilot in the RAF so I joined the cadets & learned to fly. At 18 I was told that my eyes weren't good enough & I had to find something else to do with my life. I never let go of my love of aviation & 25yrs later I wrote the Misfit Squadron books #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #aviation

FINALLY got some covers worthy of my COMPLETED 5-part Urban Fantasy Time Travel series. What do you think? Sam Vives is a "Displacer", someone with the ability to travel through time and whose job it is to make sure history turns out how it should. mybook.to/qlf3hjy #timetravel #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚

Please comment on someone's fic if you enjoyed reading it. I've seen too many writer friends lately exclusively get b0t comments and it's actively killing morale. They all deserve the love!!

Stuck for a gift for someone who likes airplanes & reads? The MISFIT SQUADRON series would be great for them! The ppb of no.1 is only 9.99 from Amazon & if they like that there's 9 more to give them! www.amazon.com/dp/B0C99TLD9V www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C99TLD9V #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚 #avgeek #aviation

Readers don’t realize how much they can change an indie author’s entire week with one small thing. One review. One recommendation. One repost. One “I stayed up late reading this.” While marketing is vital, real reader enthusiasm is still the most powerful kind of promotion. #AuthorSky #BookSky

Indie author with 23 books published... Is it kind of insane that I'm thinking of throwing in the towel and just finding a "proper" job to pay the bills? #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚

My self-promo has worn someone down enough they finally splurged & purchased my book. Can you guess the message I received with regards to this? They are enjoying it. My BOOK. It means keep slinging your wares, my fellow authors. We all don’t have marketing budgets. Still, you are being seen.

I hate when I find a good book that I really engage with; I end up reading a lot and writing too little. Shucks. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

Quick note about the Misfit Squadron series. The series comprises of 10 books & isn't finished, but please don't let that put you off; it is more like the Hornblower books or the Sharpe series than an Epic Fantasy series, in that each book is a self-contained story. Why not give it a try?

I often use Steampunk versions of actual aircraft in my series; it helps readers to imagine them. Can you guess which famous WW2 aircraft this squadron might be flying a version of? #booksky #aviation #steampunk #scifi

If you want to know what's going to happen to the Green Party over the next few months, have a look at what happened to Podemos in Spain. The lies that were told about them on front pages before the general election, lies that were later retracted as fabricated. How they went from favourites to 3rd.

The Misfit Squadron bundle has a new cover to match the series and of course it had to have the badge of Misfit Squadron itself! Same great stories and same low price, though! Just 9.99 for 5 books. 1500 pages of military aviation adventure set in an alt WW2 mybook.to/Misfits1-5 #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚

You know you've written a series that people care about when a reader reaches out and asks you not to kill off not one but FOUR of the characters. (It's set in an alt WW2) Sales don't have to be the ONLY measure of success for an author. All the little wins add up. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

If you’re going to support an #IndieAuthor, the best thing you can do is actually finish the book before reviewing. Please NO long AI-written thesis. A few short sentences you wrote yourself will likely stay up. Amazon is removing AI-reviews, even if they’re from verified purchases. #BookSky

Doesn't matter how many good review I get, one bad one takes me right back to self doubt. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

40k words into the Misfit Squadron prequel that was supposed to be a short story... It's funny how that kind of thing keeps happening to me. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

A while ago I posted about the Misfit Squadron series finding an official artist in Simon Cattling www.simoncattlin.com. Today I'm excited to share the 1st finished painting (yes, PAINTING. On CANVAS!) depicting a scene from The Battle Over Britain. (Misfit 1) #aviation #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

I wonder if readers know the effect they have on an indie author when they chose their books over trad published, the huge boost in morale it can be, especially to a writer who doesn't sell 1000s & doesn't treat it just as a business but pours their heart into their books #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

I remember 3 books being taught when I was at school (to children under the age of 12), 1984, Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies. I hope they still are because those books will tell you more about what's going on in the world right now than any political analysis. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚

Re: the new Draft2Digital fees - I don't care whether or not I'm selling enough to get charged that fee or not, it is unacceptable and as soon as they confirm that is what they will be doing I'm gone from that platform. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚

Taken this morning ~10 minutes before sunrise from my balcony. There's a pink vertical line in the sky on the left, pointing at where the sun is - I've never seen anything like that before, anyone know why it's like that? You can also see the completed cross on the Sagrada Familia if you zoom in.
