JCM Berne writes fun fight scenes, if you like OP characters and fun character banters, you will love this interview (and his books).

Today's been a busy day for my author email account. Upcoming book news and I am getting the instructions for both of the cons I am in. I'm all set for both cons, I hope. The Columbus Book Festival is estimating over 10k people, I hope to meet at least 1% of them!

I am almost done with edits for my LitRPG and already the next project is tempting me. Which is good, it motivates me to finish up edits faster. I am hoping to publish the litrpg on Amazon in August or September this year.

Check out my review for The Sunset Sovereign by Laura Huie. I highly recommend this one!

This is definitely one of those days I just want to write and not edit. That's probably because I'm getting excited about working on the next project. I will finish this one though!

The world is on fire. So, of course I'm publishing a book about an intergenerational group of Black women supporting each other and taking care of business - with swords. And it releases on Juneteenth. Preorder available now: www.tatianaobey.com/shop #booksky #blackbooksky

www.instagram.com/laurasffauth... I spent some time the other day signing my pages for the hardback edition. Now I just need to get them in the mail! I wrote the opening line for the next project along with the last one. I just need everything in the middle.

Fantastic weekend. I took a break from editing to work on signing pages for Sunset Sovereign: A Dragon's Memoir Hardback. I also spent last night outlining my next story in that world and I'm going to be confident - this will be a good book. That will be my next project.

In case you missed it: The new #SPFBO champion! #SPFBOX It has the fewest Goodreads ratings of any champion in our 10 years. Just over 100... So it's a true discovery. Let's do what this contest was designed to do and go change its fortunes. Buy a copy. Do now, before you forget!

SPFBOX is over - we have our glorious champion, and a super-close runner up! All of these books are worthy of your attention! #SPFBO

I'm diving back into an old writing project and looking at the list of characters. I had a Captain Bob? Who was Bob? The only detail I have is "Captain of other pirates and has a bigger head." I'm glad I know his ball cap size, but come on.

Here's a CSV that you can import into Google Docs with all the major US holidays. Feel free to clean it up and share.

Last night was a ton of fun with Dewey and Bill. Dewey even got all choked up on Fourth Wing it turns out. Here's the exact moment it happens. www.youtube.com/live/hTRTPUF... @quillbeard.bsky.social and @williamjadams3.bsky.social

Reminder that in a 3 hours I go live with Bill Adams and Dewey Conway on their channel. I've got some art questions to ask Dewey. Link below!

Looking forward to this time to chat with these two. Come join us later today.

soundbooth.app/manifesto I've been one of the beta testers for their app. Its a lot smoother and sexier. Still some clunks, but they are doing a great job improving it. I'm excited to see that its going more public and allowing other publishers move there, to give better options than Audible too.
