Dutch Street-Artist; Jan is de Man's 3D playful & intricate mural of a bookshelf. The lettering on each book is amazing. He signs his name in one of the books. #StreetArt #art #artist #murals

Head's up: Here's an interview I did with Chapter Break - a book blog helmed by two friends: Julie and Lynn. We talked about writing processes and writing habits, and I shared a few books I'd recommend to their readers, too! chapterbreak.net/2026/04/09/h... #BookPromo #BookSky #WriteSky #Books

Buy books for the kids in your life. There are books that are so popular that the library near me has 8 month long waiting lists, there is an opportunity to help kids who want to read the popular books from book tok ect, ask kids what they have on their tbr and fulfill their wishes 😌💕

Excited to share an in-depth interview for my book, How to Build a Champion, with Al from the IndieView. (FYI: if you're an #IndieAuthor, you can find a list of reviewers and secure an 'IndieView' with Al about your work!) Enjoy. www.theindieview.com/2026/04/26/i... #BookSky #BookPromo #Readers

Do you know one of the reasons I enjoy murals? They establish unity and strengthen connections among inhabitants. (And I wish someone would paint a copy of my book up there, next to all these wonderful books!) #BookSky #WriteSky #Publishing #Murals #StreetArt #IndieAuthor #Community #ReadingSky

"If this isn't nice, what is?" - Kurt Vonnegut. I shared a quote-post, earlier, and in doing-so, I was reminded of an essay, from @themarginalian.org.web.brid.gy, 'Kurt Vonnegut's Advice to the Young'. www.themarginalian.org/2014/04/17/i... (I wish I'd discovered his work sooner. Enjoy.) #Books

🤩 One of my favourite authors. If you haven't read Vonnegut's 'A Man Without a Country', do yourself a favour and pick up a copy. (And pick up a copy of my book, 'How to Build a Champion', too!😉It's now available in paperback and eBook at www.amazon.com/dp/B0FX16Q4GP) #BookSky #StreetArt #Books

"Keep Your Coins, I Want Change" is a stencil artwork by British artist, #Banksy. It's from 2007 - And to think that this #artwork, about the root causes of poverty, applies in 2026! (If you're interested in 'culture jamming', I found this insightful from the CJMD: cjmd.com.uw.edu/project-arch...)

Does anyone else get sick of wading through the muck, and murk, that the news tries to convince us is an accurate picture of modern life? (It's not; it's a focal point an editor's chosen out of a day's events, framed to fit biases.) I'd rather look through Peter Alexander's #art, for a fresh take.

You wrote an entire book. From nothing. Just your brain and a blank page. Do you understand how few people on earth will ever do that? Give yourself one minute to actually appreciate that before you panic about the algorithm again. #Books #Authors #Indie #Writing #Writingsky

Yesterday, I was reminded of collective nouns. (I know! - And I call myself a writer! 🤭) So, I thought I'd share some with you! A flamboyance of flamingos A prickle of porcupines A dazzle of zebras A parliament of owls (Aren’t they delightful?) Can the #writingcommunity find – or share – more?

There’s only two things any of us can be sure of in life: death and taxes. (Which, I’m guessing, is why British #artist, #Imbue, titled an exhibition just that!) Many of his works repurpose a familiar object, causing us to look twice, and consider our perspectives. #HighlyAddictive #YouCantEatMoney
