Just a little self-bragging for The Boatman, if you’ll allow ✨ 📚Getting stocked in TWO bookstores 🎙️Going on a local podcast this afternoon to promote 📰Article in the paper(?) To say I’m nervous is an understatement. But my book deserves it! 🤘

Any readers on Bluesky want to make my next week miserable? 🤔 #Booksky

I just…. Wow #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Got 300 words down today. Not quite my 1k/day goal Just means I gotta do 1.6k tomorrow 🤘

It gets to a point

Two weeks! 🔥 to say I’m excited would be a massive understatement. 30 copies sold already! 🤘 can I get a heck yeah?

Let’s run it back 🗣️ book two is underway! #AmWriting

Been in the automotive industry for over ten years. Have seen it forward and backwards and it’s just as sleazy as you think. You should buy my book so I can escape? Let me out? Please? Knock knock?

Another one ☝️ Little over 2 weeks til The Boatman is out! 🔥 Are you reading on ebook or do you need that paper in hand? 💙📚🩸

What happened to human-created captions? Even “anti-AI” people are using it and it makes every caption, post, thought so scrubbed down and devoid of any personality. There has to be long term consequences to this, right? Do regular people not care? It’s not just AI — it’s {rate limit reached}

Another glowing review, this time from @intothecomics 🔥 thank you for taking the time to read it! “If I didn’t know this wasn’t a debut novel, I’d have assumed the author had been writing for years…” #WritingCommunity

11 preorders for The Boatman... man if that isn't the coolest fuckin' feeling 🤘 #writingsky #booksky #bookish

10 signed copies of ‘The Boatman’ have been ordered… that’s actually insane 🖤 There’s 20 left. Would be insane if they were gone by morning… wink wink 👀 #BookSky #WritingCommunity forms.gle/e41dayhRCpK2...

🚨QUESTION FOR AUTHORS🚨 I’m a marketing director during the day (10+ years automotive) and understand marketing very well. If I wrote short-form marketing how-to’s for free, would you tune in? 🤔 If I can sell a car, I can sell a book…right? #WritingCommunity #BookSky

If y’all want to buy up the rest of the preorders (there’s 23 left) for my horror novel “The Boatman” so I can get back to writing, I won’t stop you 🤘 I have such a fun idea I need to start yesterday but need to keep “marketing” my book Boooooo 👎 #BookSky #WritingCommunity jackalopehouse.carrd.co

Update: I've sold 4 today so far and it's still working hours 🔥 #IndieAuthor

I SOLD MY FIRST BOOK OH YEAH BABYYYYYYYYY 🔥 I mean… achem… #WritingCommunity

I’m one preorder away from becoming an “author” instead of just a “writer” $6. That’s a Starbucks drink, a gas station burrito, or… my horror novel. Who’s gonna make it happen? 👀 #BookSky #WritingCommunity jackalopehouse.carrd.co
