Indie Author ✍🏻 Est. 2010 ✍🏻 As fiction writers, our works fulfill a collective need to, at times, escape reality, while launching alternate perspectives into the universe. To all indie artist out there, keep up the great work! Here's to a Writer's Moonlit Path, 2025 and beyond...

Got asked by a colleague if I felt I was improving as a writer with each book I wrote. Lied and said "I believe so." The truth is *whispers* "I don't care." As long as I reread my writing later and enjoy it, I genuinely don't care if I'm improving. It makes me happy. Therefore, I keep doing it.

The ai and LLM pickpockets are upping their game and coming at us full of flattery and praise for our work - Some even claim to have read our books. The last one I confronted said they'd bought a kindle version in Oct. (I've had no sales at amazon since Sep.) writerbeware.blog/2025/10/20/a...

Oh goody - now let's defund the pedo protection program and put all its beneficiaries behind bars.

I sold a book! Some other people expressed interest, let's see if they follow up. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Where’s the money, Felon?

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

A lack of diversity in book awards is nothing new. As of a few years ago, 98% of bestseller lists and 91% of novelists winning major awards are white. But it is extra glaring in a year when diversity has been used as a cudgel against progress; in a year when 350,000 Black women have been

"Participation is free... with a modest reservation fee." Ah!!! It's the book club scam!! I was just reading about this one! So exciting to be a mark.

The ai pick pockets are out in full swing - I get tons of emails a day w/lovely mashups of my website content, book descr and reviews - sometimes they include the 'first look' content too. Just a small feature setup fee, or a tip for my readership - how many readers do you want to start with?

Dems need to ramp up their game 🌊 The gop stopped playing by the rules long ago. 47 defies court orders daily. Why follow rules others ignore? That makes us complicit in the pedo protection program the gop is invested in. Dems taking over for deadbeat republicans is the constitutional thing to do.

It’s Time To Save The Country The election showed Trumpism is failing. Ignorance and hate are NOT prevailing. Dems know we have a country to save. In 2026 there’s going to be a blue wave!

👻 Boo! 👻 Happy #HalloweenEve everyone! Did you know, I grew up in a #HauntedHouse… Just last night I dreamt about it and totally shivered my way back to childhood spookies 😮 I'm convinced my writer's voice is all the better for it though 🎃 #SupernaturalEscapes #WritersLife

Happy #NationalCatDay everyone! Heard of the #CactusCat? This legendary critter of the American SW is covered in hair-like thorns from legs to branching tail. It uses its spines to slash cacti at night, so juice runs from the plants, and on later nights, it returns to drink the fermented juice.

ai is turning out to be a great tool for unscrupulous people who prey on others. I receive dozens of emails a day with ai mashups of my curated website content (bio, book descr., newsletters, etc.), they're using my own words to target me. Writers Beware - The age of the ai pickpocket is here! 😠

Regardless of what exterior forces want you to believe, there is no such thing as overconsumption of reading and learning, especially in a time of rising anti-intellectualism. They've created the myth to try and ban books and defund public education.

The writers' life can be exhausting - I have Stephen King wanting to be my bff now 👀 really can't figure out his angle. Could be he's just needy. smh.

I'm getting spammed with the best of them! Dan Brown just shared one sent to him on fb 🤩 I get 3-5 of these a day and they all seem to use the same ai bot - they comb through your website/bookshop/socials and flatter you with an ai mashup of YOUR own bio and book description. #WritersBeware

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a positive review is the equivalent of a warm & encouraging hug. Readers' Favorite, your glowing praise for my “Midnights in October” has totally brightened this writer's life 🥰 I’ll be walking on sunshine well into the holiday season & beyond!

The month of #gratitude is right around the corner 🥰 and so many things to be grateful for are already popping up! First on the list, a chance to meet fellow members of Napa Valley Writers, in person! I sure hope you'll join us at our first-ever Holiday Book Fair 📚
