Any other takers? The cover is real cool!

The second story is like if Murderbot was on a space station filled with other SecUnits who were pretending to be human and it was trying to understand WTF they were up to.

The series I drop everything for and start reading.

Author brethren, BEWARE! The latest round of scammers are using AI to skim details from books to make it sound like they've read them & claiming to have dedicated book groups. Beware of anything like this. I know of a few others getting these emails, too, already.

I need the 1.3 million people who signed the Stop Killing Games petition to also sign this. This will kill games too. Doesn't matter if the games get made but there's not platform able to sell it.

If you see this, quote this post with a game with a 10/10 soundtrack 🎶 Brütal Legend. The soundtrack is metal AF. My second choice would be Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

A film that takes place where you're from.

I know Goodreads is kinda meh and Amazon is the evil overlord, but please post your ratings and reviews there, even if you also post to StoryGraph, Fable, blogs, YouTube, etc. They’re not the best, but they’re still the places with the most visibility for indie authors.

I know there’s an Amazon boycott going on. So do my sales. Significantly noticing an impact. So, if you want to support me (and other indies but avoid Amazon) visit our websites I have plenty of books in stock, I wrap them prettier than Amazon, and they are signed too! linktr.ee/jehannaford
