I made it to page 175 of the first 702-page BANISHED LEGEND book. The addition of chapters within parts will make this far easier to read, I feel. I should've done it ages ago.

I figure this would be a good time to announce that I want to make my BANISHED LEGEND series somewhat more digestible (in that I'm dividing full individual "parts" to have "chapters" within them). The problem? The series is almost 1-million words long. This will take some time.

Hey, book community! Maybe you can help! Does anyone know what the name of a sci-fi book is that features first contact with a Stone Age/Neanderthal civilization? It has a white-ish cover, with an orb-like craft in the sky, mammoths on the ground, and a woman on a cliff. #ReadingCommunity

Hi, #Minterland: Wanted to ask a quick question about herpes flare-ups in cats. Jonesy Beans, my orange boy, is having what I -think- is a flare-up. Symptoms are presenting the same as usual. However, if it -is- a flareup, it is taking a long time for more typical symptoms to show.

I was not a fan of the new Vampire the Masquerade game (Bloodlines 2). Brilliant voice acting, and the game is beautiful where it needs to be, but otherwise I was disappointed. :(

Oaklynn Smith's love for the red wolf of Texas has made her a spectacle. However, a family in town holds deeper secrets than Oaklynn can ever imagine. You can find a link to book 1 of THE RED WOLG SAGA on your country's Amazon through this smartURL at: https://books2read.com/u/3n7nJ9 #Books

The weather app shows it’s 28°F here where I am in Idaho. I haven’t been in this kind ofcold for years (since that big freeze happened in South Texas several years ago). Brrrr. At least I have some kitty friends to keep me warm 🐈

To anyone wondering: AWS (Amazon Web Services) are apparently down. KDP / Goodreads are both being affected. It isn't just my internet this time haha

Wanted to send a quick apology to anyone who may have been inundated with promos/other stuff on my end. Haven't been putting too much effort into social media lately due to personal life + work and school stuff. The drive just hasn't been there lately.

While I hate that I am up until after 3 AM once more, I have mapped out the last half of DARK WATER, the final installment of THE SCARLET JANE FILES. If you haven't read it, you can start it for free in eBook format on all the major outlets at https://books2read.com/u/bW6GB7

Does anyone know if they make iPhone 15 wallet cases that have hard shells that cover both the front and the back of the phone? Asking cause my cat tries to chew on my phone sometimes. (So rude). #iPhone

Just a brief note to say that you can dislike something and still know that the other person is talented. Just because you think it’s bad doesn’t mean it actually is, or that it can’t be enjoyed by someone else. #Writing

Hi #Minterland: A Facebook friend was reunited with a cat he owned several years ago (whom he left with neighbors, as the cat was friends with another cat). He got a call from animal control, and was told Athena was found with a broken leg. More of the story in the GoFundMe: gofund.me/795bb1231

I know it's a bit late, but I thought I'd share that I write a wide variety of horror, fantasy, and science fiction books for young adults. You can find my FREE series starters at https://www.kodyboye.com/post/freebooks #FreeBooks #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Horror #Fantasy #SciFi

Writers telling other writers what they think is "good" or "bad" writing doesn't feel very appropriate to me. I mean, if you're serving in an editorial role, that's somewhat different. But lambasting someone's writing on a public social media post is not a great look. #Writing

Hey everyone! I'm still in the process of growing my YouTube channel, where I post full-length young adult audiobooks. I need 1000 subscribers to monetize, and would love it if you checked my channel out! Visit https://www.youtube.com/@KodyBoyeBooks to start listening! #FreeAudiobooks #BookSky

I got the chance to witness a fellow writer hit 1K on their YouTube channel (thus qualifying for monetization) tonight. What a great way to end the night!

I just had an incredible opportunity come up. Can't/won't say much about it now, but I am super excited for its potential!

Here's a reminder that I'm attempting to grow my YouTube channel. If you like YA audiobooks, strong female leads, and, for now, ALIEN INVASIONS, my current offerings might be for you. 🛸 Listen here: https://youtu.be/Wo3nFf3pLPs?si=44-_fymNf1glWvfC #BookSky #AudioBooks #YoungAdultBooks

I got a student discount on the Apple ecosystem software Ulysses. Was setting up my project in it earlier, and I’m pleased. It comes with a dedicated iPhone app as well. Progress report:

I am (unfortunately) awake (because I cannot sleep). It is a tragedy.

In 2026, I'll concentrate on standalone fiction, (in an attempt) to develop a trad publishing history. The projected projects are: 💀ARKADY'S SUFFERING - An offworld YA sci-fi horror. 👹 THE DARK ANGELS - A YA "haunting" coming-of-age 🏰 "DARK KINGDOM" - A YA dark fantasy

Wrote 1,500 words in a project that I put on hold a little bit ago. A YA sci-fi piece, set in the middle of a raging "pandemic"-like event on an off-world colony. It was nice to write without feeling the certain anxiety that my other project was giving me. #BookSky #AuthorSky #AmWriting

I wrote a rather long post about trauma, and how it's affecting my recent writing. I mainly wanted to get the feelings off my chest, but I do feel it is a relevant discussion within the writing community (to write while undergoing healing). Link here: www.kodyboye.com/post/an-upda... #Authorsky

Astoria and two pictures! Picture one: my kitty Luna tries to claim the spot that the dragon is sitting on. Picture two: she claims a spot the dragon was sitting on

Whoever thought putting "grooves" in a piece of furniture for a flimsy piece of wood to slide into was… I actually don't know how to describe them. I spent about forty-five minutes trying to assemble a piece of furniture with that fake wood crescent stuff and gave up.

I got the physical copy of my novel WHAT WE LEFT BEHIND in the mail the other day and forgot to post it. Isn’t it gorgeous? You can find out more about the novel at https://kodyboye.com/what-we-left-behind You can even get it for free by subscribing to my mailing list! #Books #AmWriting

When you can’t sleep so you’re making posts on social media to try and wind your brain down from the thoughts that are running through your head. Yep. That’s me and I have a physical therapy appointment in the afternoon, too. 🥱

An editor on Facebook talked about how it’s important to temper your expectations with publishers when they reject your work. I always like to remind myself that there is limited space, and sometimes, your work just doesn’t align with their vision. #WritingCommunity

As someone who primarily writes series, I have been thinking about doing something different in 2026. Making it a year of writing standalone fiction. This may clash somewhere with my MFA aspirations, and I may need to write my thesis, but the idea intrigues me. Thoughts?

Thought I'd send this notice out again, but: If you want some free paranormal and fantasy books to get you through this (almost) Halloween season, you can find some here: https://books.bookfunnel.com/free-fantasy-paranormal-sept-october/xjwabgdxsk #FreeBooks #Bookfunnel #Fantasy #Paranormal
