I see a lot of posts about indie authors but I'm published by a small press so don't qualify. So if you are like me, please use this thread to tell us about your book 👇 Mine is in the photo, published by Aurora Metro - a thriller about memory #WritersOfBluesky #ReadersOfBluesky

I had the pleasure of attending an event run by one of Rebecca Swift Foundation's Creative Associates, Kuli Kohli and it makes me so happy to see poetry communities coming together to show support for one another and poetry in general. #PoetsOfBluesky unite!

I want to bring out a new thriller & since I've had no luck with publishers, I think it'll have to be all me. Will you support me?! I also need maybe 1 more reader after making some changes. Any takers? Would love someone who loves or writes thrillers. #WritingCommunity #ThrillerWriters

I was re-reading this book and love this poem by Lucy Dawkins. #PoetryCommunity

Sometimes for a thriller writer, true crime stories really do act as a good muse 😂 It's frightening really. #Thrillers #AuthorsOfBluesky

Editing: I love sending my works in progress to my e-reader and reading it like an already published book. Have you tried it? Helps me spot loads of errors 😂 #Writing #AuthorsOfBluesky #Editing

When Briony Campbell confesses to killing her boyfriend, a straightforward crime turns into a baffling mystery. Haunted by demons from his past, lawyer SJ Robin is assigned to the case. But as confusion – and the body count – rises, he’s forced to question who is guilty and who is innocent.

Nearly completed a poetry collection that I'm hoping to send somewhere by the end of this month. Keep your biros crossed! 🖊 #PoetryCommunity

The Handmaid's Tale is meant to be fiction, you guys. Did someone file it in the wrong section again? 🤦‍♀️ #HandmaidsTale

Thank you to @alcs.co.uk for the yearly payment for secondary usage - always such a lovely surprise and a welcome addition! Probably more than I've made in royalties for the last 2 years, let alone 1 year! #ALCS
