The problem with getting one tattoo is that it reignites my deep desire for several more tattoos I have my next five planned, I just need to have MONEY Anyway, you should all buy my books so I can afford more tattoos Also because they're good but SUPPORT MY DESIRE TO BE WALKING ART

Don't forget to grab this bundle of trans winter stories for the solstice! 7 for $3. Help us reach our goal and get some awesome reads. 🥰 itch.io/b/3419/trans...

i'll shut up about indie publishers one of these days. but we grant so much power to the people in charge of publishers and so little the people making the art or making any of these things run. i'm just tired of how much exploitation and abuse happens in this whole space.

Reminder for PDX locals looking for physical books in time for Christmas: I know for a fact that both Powell's and Always Here have "Magica Riot" and "Magica Riot: Full Bloom" for you!

If you don’t know about the Shiver Me Hardcover’s secret undercover, I guess you’ll have to see for yourself! Get $5 off a copy here: shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

Ahhhh it would be fun to reach 1000 followers before the end of the year, and then I could prepare something fun for us to celebrate! 👀

Went to our local indie bookstore today to get a couple last-minute gifts. I was about to leave when the clerk said, oh, you have a stack of books waiting for you. Fam, I had forgotten I'd ordered them. I EVEN BOUGHT ONE OF THE BOOKS A SECOND TIME because I'd forgotten having ordered it.

It’s so interesting to be an indie author and basically do everything your self as best you can but it’s also slightly lonely and can be very disheartening (not a lot of money unless you are lucky) so these awards mean so much to all the authors nominated! It’s so cool!

Did you VOTE for Shiver Me for the Indie Ink Awards yet? It would mean a lot to me if you did! Fave categories are: bisexual rep, best light read, wittiest character, this book made me hungry/thirsty, best book interior and best cover+cover artist indiestorygeek.com/story/10489

The only thing better than Shiver Me’s desk scene is… @madcha.bsky.social illustrating Shiver Me’s desk scene!! See the rest in all its NSFW glory on the feasting tier of my patreon (patreon.com/byvermillion)

Got something that's DONE and incoming VERY soon... 👀 We're getting it out before Xmas!

Do not trust the handsome vampire who asks too many questions and makes too many promises! 👀😭

Dear author, Here’s your reminder that if your book isn’t on a ‘favourite’ or ‘best reads’ list, it doesn’t mean it’s not wonderful. It just needs to find the right reader. Actually writing book is a fantastic achievement so well done you 🌟 End of public service announcement 😊

What if I told you to sign up for my newsletter Readvermillion.com

There are 6 days left to enter the raffle for this large aerial embroidery, 'Autumn in technicolour'. All proceeds are going towards my surgery recovery this new year :) Full details and entries available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/raffle-... and all shares very appreciated 🍂

and how many author manuscripts and data like ppl's tax ids will be compromised with the introduction of such software for "workflow efficiency"

also while OP has a point, platforms like tiktok dont allow you to talk positively about sex. it rewards this bizarre infantilizing of SPICE. So if you want me to talk about sex like im 15 and repressed to reach an audience, its not happening.

Got mine on Kobo! Per Kobo, it's 69 pages. NICE.

What can I say? I'm just a girl who loves pirate stories 😜

Poop isn't coming to butts—it's already here.

This is what woke is doing and I for one welcome our new woke overlords

People have no shortage of ideas! It's just hard to enact them when you are a paycheck or single medical bill away from the streets! THE PROBLEM IS THE CAPITALISM!

Hahahaha they’re rehabbing Gaston

The indie ink awards voting is open!! indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-... 💙📚

This is a good reminder for those of us making best of lists that if yours looks like everyone else's, it's a sign that you need to read more widely. There is so much great work that often goes unnoticed because it doesn't get a splashy marketing campaign.

My book, Mother of Exiles, has been nominated in 4 categories. I'm proud to be nominated and hope you'll consider my book. Head to the link below to see all the books. indiestorygeek.com/a/indie-ink-...

Indie Ink Awards Voting is Live! Go pick what books I'll be judging in the new year. 😂 #booksky #IndieInkAwards

Romancing the Gothic organises free talks every Saturday all through the year! Our talks are open to all, happen at two different times (usually) so people can join us from different time zones, and are free (though donations welcome to support the programme) This year's programme below!

Dear Indie Book lovers, this is your annual reminder that you can nominate ANY book you've read this year in LibraryThing's 'Top Five Books of 2025'. Please show your favourite indie books some love! 🫶 (The well-established authors already get enough, imho.) #FavouriteBooks2025 👀📚💙 #IndieBooks

I sold my books at a holiday market today and I can't tell you how many people I talked to who said they wished they read more (or any) books and I am begging everyone to read more books. You don't even have to buy them. Just go to the library. It will be so good for your brain.

Happy Hanukkah to all! 🕎🥰

If you’re writing the second book in a series do you assume everyone read book one? Or do you seed in some plot from book one so one could start on book two without it being an issue?

Did you know you could be reading Shiver Me this weekend? Find the pirate romance to suit your fancy anywhere you like to buy books! books2read.com/u/3LMzk0

fyi the OCC are looking at 100,000 consumer complaints in their review of the debankment issue so it absolutely matters that you file with the BBB and other places when you can www.consumerfinancialserviceslawmonitor.com/2025/12/occ-...

This is one of my fave romances, y'all. 🎄

I don’t love when Amazon damages my books on delivery but I dooo love spending an hour of customer service’s time whenever it happens

Stop gatekeeping where people buy books from. If you can shop at indie shops or @bookshop.org awesome! If you have a @barnesandnoble.com that feels like home, great. If you can't afford the higher price tags & use Amazon, it's okay. You're a reader in today's age. You're doing great. #booksky

Seriously good book!! #booksky

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it

imo patreon should be taken to task for uneven rule application, unclear guidelines in many areas of nsfw content, and difficult communication with trust and safety. WHY the policies are in place though (since people were asking why certain kinks are banned) is the result of our paypro enemies.
