Yikes. Sold my first book through Ingram. Exciting, right? Then I looked at my commission...62 cents. 😐 I'm starting to see firsthand why so many writers on here talk about financial struggles. The author gets the tiniest fraction of what a book sells for. It shouldn't be this way.

My debut novel, Odyssey of the Twins, is now out in both paperback and E-book form, all over the internet! 😊 Rather than post a bunch of links, I've made a central author website that has them all, and I'm updating as more are added. So exciting! Here's the link: sites.google.com/view/troypre...

My debut novel is live now, and available for purchase! 🙂 Go check it out! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKT1YRB.... (This is the paperback version. Coming soon to Barnes and Noble and Goodreads and lots of other places as well, Amazon was just the fastest. E-book coming soon also.)

Big announcement tonight! The cover is done, and so I will be able to finally release my debut novel in the next week or two. 🥳. I'm so thrilled and excited! Coming soon: Odyssey of the Twins The Vothandru Trilogy, Volume One

Sigh. I intended this account to be completely non-political, just for my work as an author, networking with other writers, things like that. Then I come across a post that fires me up. It's near impossible right now. Scary, crazy times we live in. 🫤

Hey! I want to do some promo stuff, but I also don't like telling people to buy my stuff. Especially in extra hard times. However, I do like promoting other people. I think I'll feel less annoying if other promo themselves on this promo 🧵. So, uh, yeah, promo your stuff below! And I'll promo mine

I joined #bluesky to engage in conversation about writing, books, and meet new writers and readers alike. Please, be kind and support each other. We are in this game for the same reasons: to share, sell, and discuss books. ❤️📚 #writingcommunity #writers #readers #lgbt #booknerds #booksky

writing fantasy books is so fun because I can just make things float. Whole cities. Whales. Evil people floating up into the sun. I can do whatever I want.

Ebooks are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. Pulp reading is reading. Adults reading YA is reading. It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Really going to utilize #booksky more. Yes, some of it will be for personal reasons, but its just a cool part of the internet. One that makes me happy. Read more books. Write more books. Books.

I am sad and upset to see that some of my favorite mass market paperback mysteries are out of print. My advice to the other voracious readers out there, please support bound books. There is nothing more intimate than settling in with a real book and flipping the pages. #writingcommunity #booksky

Writers — the ones you know and love, the ones you think of as successful — have sources of income outside that book you read. Most of us are a half-step ahead of the landlord at best, and struggling to maintain health insurance. We figure out other ways to make a buck.

You should care less about what other people think. Writing is SO SUBJECTIVE, and it's better to put something you love out into the world. Like, yes, hire an editor, but not every randoms opinion means something
