Good news, folks. I’ll be attending OzComiCon in both Adelaide and Melbourne ( I better- already bought and paid for, so are the flights, and accommodation is booked.) IkAnyone attending and willing to say hi, message me. It will be great to catch up with you all. 😜🤘🏽

G’day all Thought I’d poke my head in… it’s been awhile. I’ve been over on Threads quite a lot. Pop on over. It’s fantastic for indie authors🤘🏽😜 www.threads.net/@aa_jones_au...

Hi all After being on here for almost a year with hardly any interactions, I’ve moved over to Threads, where it is very active. Come on over. 🤘🏽😎 www.threads.net/@aa_jones_au...

Guess what? I’m back on my feet! 😜😜😜 A few aches - probably from being horizontal for 48hrs…🤬🤬🤬

Woohoo Now that I have a long term visa for Europe, I have several book fairs to line up in the UK for 2024. Watch this space 😜

Hello writers… anyone out there? I’m an Aussie author, writing epic fantasy and sci-fi andrejonesauthor.site

It’s all true!

If you're new to marketing, I'd take David Gaughran's free course to get started. It introduces a lot of the basics.

So, to my vastly more experienced author friends… hit me with ALL your book marketing and advertising advice. 🤘🏽🙏🏾

Authors need to stand with artists by REFUSING to use AI content for promotion, illustrations, or cover images. If you believe people should pay to read your book, then pay your fellow artists for their work. Now, I just auto-block writer accounts using AI images.

One of the most imaginative books I've narrated. Currently working on book 2.

It’s all true!

Hi! I'm a professional storyteller. That is, I narrate audiobooks. In nearly every genre. I'm also an incredible geek. Hear my work on my website @ www.bennyfifeaudio.com

Look, it’s actually kinda useful to know that there is a better than even chance the person you’re standing next to is a massive idiot and/or a straight up racist. So there’s that.

I know no Palestinians nor Israelís… and the current situation over the Gaza Strip is a tragedy, as any violence is. Perhaps I’m being cynical, but if the Palestinians had as much financial clout as the Israelis do, would the western governments back them as much as they fawn over Israel? 🤔

Well.... this is very gratifying to see! Shadow of the Tower and Ripples in Time - books 2 & 3 of the Seven Portals are moving up the ladder somewhat. 😁 #fantasyauthor #indieauthor #aussiewriters #writing #writersofinstagram #writersofig #amwriting #authorsofinstagram #kindleunlimited #amazon

I spent this morning at a pre-poll campaigning for YES. I was absolutely gobsmacked to overhear old Liberals for no repeating the lie about voter fraud. Dutton’s cultists really are stupid and dangerous.

Vegemite should only be applied to toast as a slab 😎

I liked this one, and know Terry Pratchett would have enjoyed it. www.patheos.com/blogs/ecopre...

Poor little rich plebs. Their loss.

Alan Baxter is cool..... ☠☠👍👍👍😁

City of Bridges, book 1 in the Seven Portals series, is out as an audiobook from your favourite provider. www.amazon.com/Audible-City... I say this as book 2, Shadow of the Tower will soon be out as an audiobook too😎😜

It is really hard being a writer these days. The industry is getting tougher all the time. You can REALLY help authors and books you love by talking about them. Word of mouth is real magic, your voice matters, it's never too small. Share your enthusiasm for books you love. And THANK YOU.

So then.. who is going to BookFair Australia? 😎😜🤘🏽
