Then you'll like the upcoming audiobook I'm working on for @martinparece.bsky.social ! Whispers of the Sower, coming out soon!

Why are people?

My niece had her first novel published, debuting March 31st, so proud of her. I believe it's on tape. She worked for Blackstone Publishing for many years, connections don't hurt.😉

My Internet is restored after a WEEK AND A HALF. It's amazing how much we rely on it now and you don't realize how much until it's gone. Let's go!

If you've read a book, please leave reviews on them. Rate it, tell the author your thoughts. Did you like it? I've been writing books for almost 10 years and the one book not under my actual name hasn't received one review.. Coffee, Tea Or Me by CR is my best work. I just want the world to see it.

Some people have suggested I was too hasty declaring my self-publishing efforts a failure, so I'm giving my self-published works another chance. I'm getting back into blowing my own horn regarding my poetry collection and I re-published my two wee collections of short stories.

My Quantum Fiber Internet went out over a week ago. The technician was supposed to be here Thursday to fix it, but never showed up. Now they're not coming out until next Wednesday. Hey, AT&T, did you know that when you bought this fiber service from Lumen you would have to maintain it?

We need all kinds of books. Sometimes I want to turn my brain off, sometimes I want something that blows my mind, and sometimes I want something that challenges me. We need it all. Imagine living in a world with only one kind of music.

It's 66 degrees outside and we're under a Winter Weather Advisory for tonight. 🤨 #Colorado #weather

Drop something metal.

Such an amazing review on Wolves of War! Thank you so much! #booksky

If you've ever thought about picking up my books, now would be a great time because ✨vet bills✨ The audiobooks are also on sale on Chirp for $2.99 each until the 25th: www.chirpbooks.com/series/the-r...

It's weird how Bluesky's algorithm gets on a tangent sometimes and just picks a very specific topic and shows me mostly posts on that topic. Today, it's posts about pancakes. Not that I'm complaining.

Working when you're sick SUCKS.

I lied to my wife. I didn't want to, but sometimes you don't have a choice. She got a fox tattoo on her shoulder and asked me if it looks a little chunky. I said it looks great, but it looks like a sausage with a tail. That is a well-fed fox.

Is YouTube down or is it just me?

Using a gif, who's your favorite female game character? I know, "get in line".

Made homemade tiramisu last night, and it's AMAZING.

The purpose of this account is to promote my work. I respond to political posts because I frankly can't help myself, but I don't post about politics. But let me say this: If you still support Donald Trump, even now, I don't want to narrate your book. Find someone else. Or better yet, delete it.

And now I'm in pre-evacuation warning for a wildfire. 😱

Wonder Man is really good. A love story to acting. #WonderMan

The audiobook version of The Spacer is now out. Narrated by @darylbranson.bsky.social and shaped with the same restraint the story itself demands. It’s been a quiet launch — life intervened — but that feels right for this book. Links below.

Oooh, what's on the playlist? Does the type of music you have on in the background change the mood of your writing?

Denormalize vagueposting.

Bay leaves are like homeopathy for cooking.

Googling how much chest pain is normal for a man my age.

Why should you read my new sci fi horror Whispers of the Sower? #Booksky

Shoutout to everyone out there making music, making art, and otherwise being creative. Much love and respect.

What does it mean to be human? What happens when the dehumanization of war propaganda fails? How much can the simple act of recognizing our fellow man change the world? These are the questions explored in this amazing book! #Audiobook #Booksky #Sci-fi @jasminep-ant.bsky.social

I see Bluesky is no better at preventing catfish accounts than the other social media platforms. I get three or four of them following me every day. Apparently I look like an easy mark. I am not.

I am above the audiobook listeners vs novel readers discourse actually I think both are great

Audiobooks cured me of road rage when I had a 3+ hour daily commute in Los Angeles!

YESSSS I love listening to audiobooks while I clean or bake! reading is perfect for public transit or waiting rooms or lying in bed, but I love an audiobook when I'm on the go

They are both wonderful! I am a busy AF single mom and I can listen to a book while washing dishes or folding laundry vs. not getting any books in at all. I love the smell and feel of a loved book and used to be a real paper book purist lol but audiobooks are saving my soul lately.

oh hell yeah in this house we support human-read audiobooks 🙌🏻

I’m with you on that one! Human narrators add depth to a story that turns into bland mush when an AI reads it

I just ordered some new reading glasses so now every ad I see is for reading glasses. I don't know what genius came up with flooding people with ads for something they just bought, but they didn't deserve the raise they probably received for that idea.

The dark nights of winter call for stories of the strange and macabre. Do you want to feel a chill up your spine? Do you want to casually wonder what is waiting in the shadows? Then this book is for you. @martinparece.bsky.social #Audiobook #Horror #Booksky

This is referring to when the NARRATOR SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS.

there was that time we raced the snowflakes home and the silvered sky became a landscape of spiralled lace we stopped before our mittens made friends with our doorknobs and we danced a gallumphing dance in boots that spun our giggles till we all fell down #poetry

What's in the boxxxxx? Just copies of The Cor Chronicles - The Complete Saga all five novels in one beautiful hardcover!zurl.co/aw6yl #Booksky

Why does The Spacer tell a story where enemies become allies? Because I’ve been drawn to that question since I was a teenager. The books I read back then shaped how I think about empathy, judgment, and what it means to be human inside hostile systems. 👉 shepherd.com/best-books/u...

I narrated this book. I don't have ADHD, but it's well written and the solutions make a lot of sense. share.google/XFbVIjX3wHVj...
