We're bird watching in the lovely weather 🌤️

Ever watched Treasure Planet and thought "what a banger of a movie, but it needed more space crocodiles and creepy cannibal villains?" Well, have I got the book for you! Available in KU or as a sprayed edge paperback from my site!

I'm impatiently waiting for someone to post review number 60 for Reflections of Lilje Damselfly. It's Sapphic September, the book is only 200 pages. Get on with reading it and please leave a review!

I know there's still a week left, but Tuesday, Sept 23rd at 8pm CST, we will be chatting with @thomashowardriley.bsky.social about his book, The Light of Kasaban for Willow Wraith Press' Indie Book Club. Come join the chat!

Warning, re spider in video. This huge bastard WOKE ME UP from his tapping feet. Then he fell into my bed. And Barry lost him. Spider is somewhere in my bed and I just want to sleep but giant wolf spiders aren't on the list of spiders I find cute 😭

We will be attending the brilliant Edge-Lit book and writing festival in Derby today, so it seems the perfect time to shout out to our speculative fiction! share.google/DmcOrUK2MMrZ... We are doing the submissions workshop at 4. See you there!

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #SpookySeason From Murder, She Grew a short story (possibly my favorite) in Dirt You Shall Become. Susanne has just about had it with Niels and his damn roses!

How many of my books and short stories have you read? From dark space fantasy to Cody historical fantasy, I have something for every kind of fantasy reader. All novels are available in KU and direct! nataliekelda.co.uk/book-links

Free till Saturday! Everything I’ve released so far! I hope you enjoy it! Crown and Tide: The Traitors We Are—mybook.to/thetraitorsweare The Revenge of Thousands—books2read.com/u/boqYL1 A Grave for Us All—books2read.com/u/bQgKl6 Broken Vocal Cord Music—books2read.com/u/mYO9XG

Seems the right time to remind everyone I write "woke" space fantasy. Treasure Planet vibes, space crocodiles and mental health struggles is the carrying theme. Consider buying direct from my website, you get art cards, bookmarks and a Barry cat sticker included for free!

Go check out my cover reveal!

I've had a few updates/additions since this post went live on the 1st! ajcalvin.net/the-indie-au... #booksky

📢COVER REVEAL📢 It's here! The cover for book 3 in Balfour's trilogy. Balfour had no plans to ever visit Verselva, the planet of the blue fangs. The locals hunt them. The wild boars stalk them. One thing is clear, not everyone will make it through the jungle alive. October 14! 📚 💙

Trust Azalea's word, her books are brilliant as well!

Hey so I have this book that almost has 60 reviews and people really seem to love it so you should check it out! A chronically ill water nymph moves to an Edwardian spa for treatments but falls in love with a human. I offer sprayed edge copies via my website with merch (free UK shipping)

It's been a weird week of ups and downs but it made me smile to see my debut hitting 40 reviews! I also got my first 1 star rating(no review) at some point recently so I think I'm officially a real author after 2½ years in this indie publishing game💪

Timeline cleanse and reminder that you can and should curate your social media to only include things that make you happy. Don't get your news and p0litics from sm, that's how polarisation and dehumanisation happens. Mvrder is always wrong. Be kind to yourself and others 💜

I have the honour of sharing the incredible cover for @mattfalcon.bsky.social epic fantasy debut! Tethered to Darkness is the first book in the Veil of Sands series and is a story about betrayals and the fight for the truth in a land where even hope casts a shadow. Out December 1st!

I bought CBD treats for cats because they're supposed to be "calming" I don't think they work as intended on Barry 🤣

Got a really neat cover to reveal today, this time it's a non-fiction reference guide that will definitely help indie authors! An Author's Guide to Setting Design: Worldbuilding & Cartography by @adamcbassett.com Check it out (link below) & if interested, support the Kickstarter! #booksky

Look at these two gorgeous books that arrived with a wonderful reader and friend 🥰

New art! This is Iolanthe and Charlie from my late 2026 release. It's an Inner Universe (connected) standalone enemies to lovers to enemies to ?? She's a pirate captain, he's a pirate hunter. He both stands in her way and is the key to landing the haul of her lifetime. (this is a glazed image)

Oh heck yeah! Natalie's awesome review was number 200 for me! So thankful for all those who've read my books, you are all the best! 💚🤍😭

I have it on good authority the Reflections of Lilje Damselfly hard cover is now live 👀 If you're in the UK I will have sprayed edge copies available soon!

Right, I want to draw more (nearly finished with a really cool illustration of Iolanthe and Charlie, my 2026 enemies to lovers to enemies to ??) You *need* to check out this short, dystopian sci-fi! Finished it a few weeks ago and still think about it!

Promised myself I can watch something and draw for 1 hour per review I write(I have a backlog) so I wrote one and now I'm going to draw for a bit 😅 Really lovely, short and mostly cosy read that I definitely recommend!

🌟 Sunday Spotlight 🌟 Fire At Her Fingertips by @bookspotlight.bsky.social is a quick read that'll take you through a rollercoaster of emotions in just 10 min. Short stories at their best 👌 https://www.karenlykkebo.com/post/fire-at-her-fingertips 📚💙

Lilje got another 5 star review! Have you checked this book yet? It's perfect timing for Sapphic September!

🥰🥰🥰 And it’s still on sale on Zon and Ko-Fi because I spaced out on changing it while - very fittingly - watching a documentary on invasive plants 😅

Need to escape our world for a while? Dive into my space fantasy series and fly off on a wooden ship a la Treasure Planet but you may or may not survive the encounters with space crocodiles and creepy, Swedish-speaking villains. Final book in the 3nd trilogy drops this month!

Trying to grow my Kobo sales (because I really like the platform so far as an alternative to KU). So if you have Kobo plus and enjoy Castlevania and Supernatural, consider giving my book (Blood) a read (and maybe a review). 💙📚 kobo.com/en/ebook/blo...

I just realised it's Sapphic September! I have a cosy historical fantasy with a sapphic romance available in KU and with sprayed edge copies for direct sales 👀 A chronically ill water nymph goes to an Edwardian spa for treatments but falls in love with a human 🌸

Panic buying a bazillion cat foods has paid off (maybe) Barry just ate 10 pieces of kibble! He's also eaten 12 pieces of his regular food this morning. Less than 10% of what he ought to eat in a day but fingers crossed! Now I just need my thumb to stop swelling further 🙈

Nothing appears wrong – vet reckons he ate something bad(maybe a chili) and throwing up so much on Tuesday left his insides slightly inflamed. He got an anti-nausea shot and as long as he doesn't throw up more he should recover fine. He asked for walkies when we got home.

I had book mail while I was away! @karenlykkebo.com was so kind to send me a copy of her newest short story collection. Karen is absolutely brilliant at writing short stories so if you haven't checked any of them out yet, you should!

First day back at work after 11 days off and there's no trains?! Like for the entire MONTH?! Anyway the coach means I'll be late but also that my writing time has doubled 😅

Considering how little I've marketed this month and that I didn't join any indie August sales, I'm really pleased. Lilje Damselfly beat River in the Galaxy for page reads(by 9 pages) and I also had 2 direct orders! 📚💙

There's still today left to grab a copy of Reflections of Lilje Damselfly for indie August!

Drafted 3k words this morning! It's been a rough few months so it's nice to finally give into this WIP that's been whispering at me for months. Here's the unedited opening lines(and title 👀)

Nothing better than getting home to someone who's missed you as much as you missed them. He looks annoyed but really he's staying within 5 feet of me so he can beg for pets and cuddles every other minute 🥰

I’m a bit late in posting this one (have the sniffles and it’s draining my energy), but look at this amazing bookmail 💕 Reflections of Lilje Damselfly by @nataliekelda.bsky.social is one of my favorite books from 2025 and now Lilje will forever live on my bookshelf among the sprayed edge volumes.

#IndieAuthorSummer day 54: Ready to discover a new author? Check out @nataliekelda.bsky.social, author of River in the Galaxy at nataliekelda.co.uk. Already read the author's work and loved it? Consider sharing this post to help boost their books. #IndieAuthors #IndieBooks #BookSky

Lilje in the wild 🥰

I am finally rid of the broken, mouldy linoleum floor(which had asbestos tiles underneath 🥴) It's an accident the same tea towel hangs on the oven but I guess you can see how faded the screen print has become across 3 years 😅

I was so busy with work I forgot to sign up to the Narratess Sale but River in the Galaxy is 0.99 through until the 31st before finally going up to 2.99 again so grab it if you haven't already!

First day of holiday and my dad's napping in the armchair while Barry and I have commandeered the airbed ( or rather I commandeered it and Barry joined me because he's a cuddle bug 😅) Perfect start to an overdue break!

Just got to turn off my alarms until september 1st. Holiday how I have longed for you 🥹 (I'm just at home for most of the break although my dad and his partner arrived today we don't have that many plans)

MY SECRET PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT! I will be releasing a collection of demisexual 🖤🩶🤍💜 poetry and essays in October. Currently looking for feedback readers because I've never done anything like this before. I have a couple of people already, but would love to get a couple more pairs of eyes on it.

Endless Lives is out in the wild. Grab a copy if you love queer romantic fantasy standalones. 💙📚 #queerwriters #queeradultsff 🌈🚀💫 📚🌎 #writingcommunity 📢📚 🩷🧙♂️⚔️ 🪐📚 #BookSky #Books #readingcommunity #bookcommunity buy.bookfunnel.com/2n1g8b5dyc
