Two weeks after release and I'm already almost 50% of the way to breaking even on production costs 👀👀 Part of that is because I got the cover for free, but still, a lot of indie books never break even at all so being on track to do it within a month of release is pretty damn cool

Entwined, by @hmlong.bsky.social (pub by @titanbooks.bsky.social) is a really fun historical-inspired fantasy novel, with a memorable female main character and a worldbuilding that shows much about class dynamics and politics. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/entw... 💙📚

Calling #sff #authors: I have another hairbrained blog series idea. I want to focus on characters with "small" roles who still make a difference. Maybe they send a villain searching in the wrong direction, maybe they encourage the main character when they're about to give up, things like that. 1/

I’m managing to get some creative work done but things have only gotten a little more stressful. The dark fantasy series is coming along nicely despite my focus being so skewed.

Blocked!

Some of my Spring Break reading - Queso, Just in Time and Efrén Divided by Ernesto Cisneros. Wonderful bittersweet middle grade books with hope and lots of love. #kidlit #middlegrade #booksky

When a demonic force threatens their coven, Elana must sacrifice herself, risking her intertwined destiny and the power of reincarnation itself. 🌟 Reincarnation romance 🌟 Found family 🌟 Spiritual fantasy 🌟 A sentient house www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBX3DW3B 🌊✨ #FantasyReads #booksky #writingcommunity

Murder by Memory was a bit uneven to me. I enjoyed the main character (a middle aged, knitting detective) & the world building, but got a little bit bored with the ins & outs of the murder mystery. That being said, the parts I liked are enough to make me want to give the sequel a try. 💙📚🪐 #booksky

The move finally happened! Obviously unpacking the books was a priority, so I treated myself to some new bookshelves but I underestimated the volume of books I have as I've pretty much filled them and I still have more boxes to unpack. Oops. #booksky💙📚

The #WIPSnips word for March 29th is “vibrate” #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

One of my favorite Beauty and the Beast retellings!

Once it (or they...) go live and I know it's all good, I have a big announcement for my readers and (hopefully) a redemption for something that's been bothering me for two years. So, you know, stick around.

Menopausal murderers bumping off bad guys. And Audrey.

Where is this year going?! Here are the #WIPSnips words for March 30th to April 5th. As always, synonyms, variations and ✨vibes✨ are fine, please include Alt Text on graphics, Trigger/Content warnings if necessary, and no unsolicited editing on posts. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

My author email now gets an INSANE amount of spam. Techbros, bots and AI really ruined the entire internet.

Traditional publishing isn't a meritocracy in the slightest. A book being "good" doesn't translate to sales or promotion.

Being published does not make writing good. Being good writing does not guarantee publication.

Agreed! I've told so many people about this movie! "Familiarize yourself with the soaps!" "None of these are labeled!!"

I DID IT I FINISHED IT I tied the final line back to the title of my book and the overall theme of the anthology its in😌

This was a great blend of horror elements and a quick, satisfying read that I picked up thanks to SFINCS. #booksky💙📚 @thesfincs.bsky.social www.behindthepages.org/post/reap-so...

The joy/problem of rewatching Buffy for the two thousandth time is you see ALL THE PLOTHOLES present from the get-go lmfao. I love this show, but ooooh, I want to make like two hundred tiny changes 🤣
