Happy book birthday to the wonderful @pscwillis.bsky.social and CRYING OUT FOR MAGIC, a YA reverse portal fantasy meet-cute.

#WritingCommunity, what's on your weekend to do list? Mine is mostly launch party prep (Crying Out for Magic, out Sept 2nd!!!) which is super exciting! Looking forward to getting back to the writing part of writing too, hoping I can do edits on my WIP soon.

My very dear friend P.S.C. Willis ( @pscwillis.bsky.social ) has their debut novel coming out and there is going to be a virtual celebration. To join in, sign up to their newsletter for the Zoom details and a bingo card! (Follow the tag) ☕🫖📖 #debutauthor #newbooks #queerbooks #booklovers

I was out w/my family all day so just getting back to this. Thank you so much! I hope that everyone enjoys my misfit filled book of monster hunters. 🥹 The sale continues until August 25th. Z.E.R.O will be free all weekend w/the indiebook.sale as well as many others!

Some very kind words about my little book. I'm delighted to share them with you. Link in case you are interested in having a look yourself. #bookreview #shortstories mybook.to/Sandcastles

One of my most anticipated reads of 2025.

Adore this book. One of my top reads of the year.

Slightly odd question, but does anyone speak (or know someone who speaks) Venetian? I will settle for Italian if I have to, but I'd prefer to have the lines in Venetian. There's only a handful.

One week left to sign up! I've got 16 sign ups so far, but would love to make it a round 20! This is a quick novella (100 pages) and great way to enter the Eileerean Saga world 🔗👇 #booksky #epicfantasybookseries #eileereansaga #indieauthor

If you already enjoyed the dark, supernatural York of The Hiding, may I recommend Book 2? People are going missing only to turn up 2 weeks later, de*ad. Searching for the kidnapper leads Harper into the dreamscape & the embrace of her deadly past. #QuestPit #P #A #F #SFF #DF

In a world where music can reshape reality, one voice holds the key to salvation or destruction. 🧚‍♀️Fae Fated Mates 💜Friends to Lovers ⚧️Gender Fluid MC 🎶Music is Stronger than AI 🌈Bi4Bi Queernormative 💀Dystopian #QuestPit #P 2026 #A #SFF #F #SF (Goodreads adds appreciated: bit.ly/LotB-GR)

POLDARK/SHOGUN Stealing a relic might make enough 💰 to lift his sister out of poverty, but he must turn a blind eye to the crimes of empire. When the lies unravel, learning he's not the good guy is the biggest betrayal. But would he risk it all to save magic if he knew the truth? #QuestPit #A #Q #F

An Agent's Guide to The Perfect Pumpkin Pageant. A tale of strong friendship against the world of what is seen as perfection. #questpit #PB #q #POC #SEL

Harper must keep her magic secret or be ki11ed (along with her foster sister). When York is haunted by an arcane mu7derer, she must choose - use her visions to stop them, or keep herself & Grace safe. It doesn't help that the ki11er seems to be right. #QuestPit #A #P #SFF #F #DF

If you like fae x human romance subplots, please check out LEGEND OF THE BARD on Goodreads. Legend's character art #1 will be revealed at 50 adds. 🫶 Goodreads link: bit.ly/LotB-GR
