Holy shit, I just heard two transformers explode outside, each explosion followed by a blackout. Fortunately, power soon came back on. #LasVegas

Kane and Callie are very cautious about romantic feelings, as they're inexperienced but not foolish. My other MCs are huge flirts who don't want to live alone. 😘👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity

Sat snip: In "A Price to Pay," Melindra and Vincent arrive in another world. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity

For Free Friday, I'd like to share the Prairie Book Review of "A Price to Pay." theprairiesbookreview.com/?p=8109 #FantasyIndiesFebruary #BookSky #WriteSky #AuthorSky #WritersCommunity #readers

Callie has a weakness for decadent milk chocolate (although dark'll do in a pinch). Kane has a fondness for strawberry tarts. Neither dessert taste is mentioned in the books, but that's the skinny. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity

Kane is expected to inherit his father's estate, although dear old dad doesn't have much confidence in him. Callie needs to do a job for her clan--perhaps the most important one in its history. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity

Sat snip: In my 2nd Three Roses book, Callie tests her archery skills on an unusual target. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

My excerpt below has a *bit* of heartbreak, as Callie's bf is unfairly critical after her traumatizing experience. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

What in the world is this guy implying??? #videogames #SuperMario #SuperMarioGalaxy2 #Switch2

Once upon a time, Callie would have liked to be known as a bold and capable thief/burglar who did right by her clan. This later changed to a kind-yet-fierce warrior and family woman. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Fave tropes: Enemies-to-lovers (has to be a natural progression, though!) Badass villain gets taken down hard Forbidden magic Nerdy brainiac makes good amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Hustler really doesn't like lywood.

OMG, I'm going to feel so bad for this, but ... Kiss: Sal in "The Abyss of St. Marie" Marry: Callie in "The Three Roses" Unalive: Melindra in "A Price to Pay" amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

My Three Roses books may have the most unlikeliest romance in the world! Or maybe it's Stockholm's Syndrome, who can tell? amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Hi, I'm Jason Hubbard, and my books are nothing like Uncle L. Ron's. They're thought-provoking fantasies, not pulp sci fi. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesFebruary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

This book is about a decade old, but I remember how the MC became less gung-ho as originally envisioned. Maybe that was the right call, or maybe not ...? amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesJanuary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Melindra doesn't have many cherished memories, but there was an old man who taught her math and letters in a village where girls "didn't need" such education. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesJanuary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

My 2nd Three Roses book is all about a new beginning for our heroes, where they settle down in a new nation only to have the past continue to haunt them. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesJanuary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Melindra's weakness in "A Price to Pay" is her amnesia, which she feels she has to hide from everyone--meaning she'll have quite the minefield to navigate. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesJanuary #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Me on Christmas ... Nah, jk, my Christmas was filled with splendor and joy ... and work. #MerryChristmas #Christmas #MerryXmas

Merry Christmas, everyone! For your viewing pleasure, here's my video showcasing all the games I played this year. youtu.be/gA13vX-ei8c #FantasyIndiesDecember #videogames #Booksky #Writesky #Youtube #WritersCommunity

Sat snip from "The Abyss of St. Marie," where Tyler begins a head-butting conversation with his on again/off again gf. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Hello, @triforcetimes.com, just for fun, I'd like to suggest a topic that I also plan on sharing for an upcoming video. It's about Echoes of Wisdom, and how its graphical style sets it back from being a big deal. For more info, please see my unlisted video here: youtu.be/VhfCzieWoKA

Tolkien elves! Strong, proud, fiercely loyal if you can earn their respect--they're the ones I'd write about. (Image credit: tjota.deviantart.com) amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

For small children, I recommend "The Complete Alice in Wonderland" by Dynamite Comics. Wonderful illustrations capture the original book and its sequel. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Melindra might be on the nice list for her efforts at rehab ... but I dunno, Sal may have more work to do to get off the naughty list. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Here's a Sat snip, plus a letter I got about a class action lawsuit against Anthropic, a company who allegedly stored commercial ebooks without permission. Anyone else get this notice? amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Just finished "Dominion War 1." It read just like a Star Trek show/movie--never a bad thing. Now, on to "The Korriniad" by A.K. Caggiano. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesDecember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

It's just a reptilian eyeball in the middle of a city, nothing new. #LasVegas #TheSphere

Sat snip: Amazon is saying my 1st Three Roses is my "most popular," so here's Callie helping Kane out from a bind. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesNovember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Share an artist: How about Jackson Tjota, who did these fantastic covers for my Three Roses trilogy! tjota.deviantart.com amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesNovember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

How rude of the sun to shine face while I'm trying to drink! 😤 #rude

Still have my copy of Gunstar Super Heroes ... which I never finished. I think I ran into a difficulty spike. @gamesack.net

Dealing with imposter's syndrome? Just remind yourself that Stephen King ripped off the Simpsons movie. If HE has no qualms about it, why should you? amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesNovember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

One writing challenge for me is creating action scenes that are high-concept yet realistic enough to pass readers' sniff tests. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesNovember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

Favorite characters? I'd have to go with Kane & Callie. Their bumpy journey and character growth was a pleasant one to write for. amazon.com/author/jasonhubbard #FantasyIndiesNovember #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #WritersCommunity #readers

My hobbies include video games, reading, and making crazy videos like this one⬇️ #FantasyIndiesNovember #WritersCommunity #Booksky #Writesky #Authorsky #readers youtube.com/shorts/dxaOJ...

I once saw that there was a lawsuit against melatonin gummy manufacturers, claiming that the gummies caused "strange dreams." I think the plaintiffs may have had a point. ⬇️
