Bugger it. I’m putting the Christmas tree up.

I’ve been sick as a dog for days and haven’t written a single word all week. I’ve read four books though, so it ain’t all bad.

I was meant to be building a wall and re-laying my driveway today, but the rain is horrendous, so I'm going to get some edits done instead. Or maybe just bum around socials. Either/or

Post a female character you love.

I think I must be the only gay whose book sales go down every Pride Month 😩 #booksky #gayauthors #pridemonth

1/3 It's Pride Month. Here's my challenge to all the #mmreaders - We LOVE YOU - all of you...you are a voracious, loyal, and steadfast fan base. But so many of you still cannot find #ownvoice authors.

I have a suggestion. Or two. Get your Pride Month reads sorted.

Netflix need to stop being cowards and bring back Santa Clarita Diet

👀

I think I have the cover finalised for the next book 😮 Fan me, fan me. I want to show it off already. #booksky #author #pridereads #gayauthor

Morning beauties. Busy day today. Stay awesome.

In honour of Pride Month I'm going to come and steal all your husbands. You can get them back in July.

How about a historical time slip with a gay MC? Borrowed Time and its sequel, Echoes on the Wind, are available everywhere. t.co/XPWHgAkEvc

I'm currently making a push to grow my author page on Facebook. I know I'm behind the curve, but I only started it a little while ago. If anyone feels so kind as to give me a follow there, I'll be offering virtual cookies. Maybe. #booksky #pridereads #gayauthor www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

I DID IT! I wrote a book. I edited it multiple times. I formatted it. I line-edited it. I triple-checked it. I self-published it. I advertised it. Yes I am super proud of myself for what I’ve achieved. And it’s finally out in the world amzn.eu/d/a53iMAK

It’s absolutely pissing down, and all I want to do is curl up with a book, but alas, I haven’t found a way yet for this book to write itself, so back to the grind I go.

Maybe it’s time for a reintroduction. I’m Russ, and I’m an author from Wales. I’m gay, and a big advocate for own voices storytelling. I like running, chocolate, sci-fi and procrastinating. I also love talking way too much. Say hey. Let’s be buds. #booksky #pridemonth #gaybooksky #gayauthors

Go and follow this man He’s handsome and writes really good historical fiction about gay men as well

Today’s going to be the day I finally work out how to use this app and actually interact with people. If you see me looking lost, come help a gay out.

My first post of 2025, after a well earned break. Hello all you wonderful readers and writers and everyone in between.

I'm without question going to drive @russelldeanwrites.bsky.social insane with my endless love for the Borrowed Time series. (I already unapologetically DM'd him about it.) And now you can read why I love it too! Then go buy the books. 😘 @sffinsiders.com www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

A new Christmas short story, exclusive to Kindle Unlimited. Let Your Heart Be Light. Out now. #kindleunlimited #christmasstory #indieauthors amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DPNFZXBY

I’m in this lineup 🥰 go check out all the awesome books and authors.

I need at least two people to devour these books by @russelldeanwrites.bsky.social. I just finished Echoes on the Wind and need to scream about it with someone.

Borrowed Time is now discounted for all #smashwords readers. Perfect in time for Christmas. 📚💙 #booksky #books #reader #mmromance #historicalfiction www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

Kinda rude I have to work today when all I want to do is keep reading Echoes on the Wind by @russelldeanwrites.bsky.social.

I still have no idea how any of this works 😩

Well today’s travel plans are shot to shit. Thanks a lot, Darragh

Coincidentally, she would have been 124 today.

Just realised I haven’t actually introduced myself. I’m Russ, I’m new here. I’m a 39yo gay author from Wales, and I currently have two books out. I suck at socials, but I’m nothing if not a trier. Ask away if you want to know anything, and let’s be moots. #authorsofbluesky #booksky 📚💙

It feels like it’s going to be one of those days where I need the coffee IV’d right into my veins.

After-writing treats 🤤🥰

My second novel, Echoes on the Wind, released this week, and so far this is the only place I haven’t shouted about it. If you like historical fiction, time slips and heaps of drama, all with a gay MC, this might be up your street. #booksky mybook.to/VrIR
