#Newsletter Day is here and boy has it been a week. Busy, Busy, Busy... right up until we got home a few hours ago, then I was busy in other ways, Read it, click the buttons, and you'll see the art for the store that I spend hours on www.thebornangeluniverse.com/the-blog/new... #WriteSky #Booksky

I hate doing this part, but if you don't want my books (Why wouldn't you,? They're awesome!) You can simply 😣Make a donation 😣 via my ko-fi... you can also pick up my books from the shop there too... if you wanted. 👉🏻👈🏻 ko-fi.com/bornangelaut... 4/4 *presses post & immediately goes to finish edits*

This is huge especially after the $333 for tires we spent on Wednesday. 😣 That being said, I'm running a "MY CAR BROKE" sale on my website, get the eBook bundles for 50% off. www.thebornangeluniverse.com/product/1223... Why there? Cause I get the $ Faster through my stripe and PayPal. 3/4

AFTER having our regular mechanic look it over a week before leaving. Since the Santa Fe has nearly 200k Miles on it and sat for awhile without being driven before we got it... shit like this tends to happen. BUT it's going to be $200 for the pump and $200 for the assembly, besides the labor. 2/4

Storytime: 1/4 If you read my newsletter or follow me on TikTok you may know that Hubby and I were supposed to go to my sister-in-laws wedding this weekend... That didn't happen. The car had other plans yet again. This time the rack & pinion + the power steering pump went. We were 141 miles away...

#WSPit Kalista Chronicles Book 5: BUFFY X ANITA BLAKE Kalista is determined to fight against the Underworld and the Triumvirate of Evil, going so far as to risk everything for someone who she once thought an enemy. Also quote from @boggo2300.bsky.social (my ESA) #A #P #C #T #F #PN #UF

To be clear that's 11,290 words in the doc. The count for the day was 4,610. The total words for February is currently: 51,644/50,000 I also red-pen edited 127 pages of An Angel Enraged today! that's a fair chunk. Only 160 pages left!

End of day February 24, I had 11,290 words AND finished my word goal for February! Does that mean I'm not going to write for the rest of the month? Of course not! The last few hundred words of the day were heartstring tuggers though. 🥹❤️‍🩹 #WordCountUpdate #Day4 #DirgeoftheBetrayed

There are often social media events to pitch work. Some intended to attract agent attention, but this is an author hype event to celebrate the community. Here's a post from last year that might help. If you search #WSPit & scroll back you'll see pitches from last year. bsky.app/profile/wips...

#WIPSnips DOUBLE Snippets! cause this scene is in both DEADLY SIRENS, which is currently up for pre order (releases April 9th), but I'm reading over it one last time to be sure there are no f-ups still AND in COOKIES & RAGE. ALSO art! #WriteSky #bookSky #PNR🔮📚 #UF🌃📚 (Link below)

#WIPSnips had this in a few projects, so we're going to go with this one from "Life After You" which is slated to release July 2028. This is a bit of a mundane/sexy moment between the FMC and Love Interest, they're in the bathtub... ⚠️: Nudity, Mention of male anatomy... #PNR🔮📚 (no cover yet)

Oh this is making the rounds again! Five authors by whom I've read at least five books: ~ Laurell K. Hamilton ~ Ellen Schreiber ~ Jim Butcher ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon (McQueen) ~ Richelle Mead

Jenn A Morales JRR Tolkien David Gemmell Ursula K LeGuin David Weber

Now, that being said, I no longer sell ebooks through Amazon, so no more pre orders there, but I do have pre orders on ~ Apple Books ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Bookshop ~ Everand/Fable ~ Itchio ~ Kobo+ ~ Libby ~ Cloud Library ~ & Smashwords. So, there is no shortage of where to find this pre order. 2/2

The most I've ever had for pre orders was 17... Let me be clear, these are the signed copy pre orders, the 17 was when I did a kickstarter. I've only had 11 on my own website for CRY HAVOC. As for eBook Kindle pre orders, I've only ever had 9 at the most, which was also for CRY HAVOC. (1/2)

Got an influx of Pre Orders for DEADLY SIRENS today!🥹 I now officially have more pre orders for than the last book, though it's not hard to beat when there were only 5 pre orders for AN ANGEL FALLS (Kalista book 6). This really helps my "Depression Stage" of Book publishing. #WriteSky #BookSky

The bad brain continues so doing soothing things: - comfort food - art for fun - hydrate - get out of the house for a bit - red pen edits - attitude adjustment 😏 - and being mostly offline… I’m gonna post my WIPsnips though, promise. After dinner & hugs from my Viking.💞 #Oneofthosedays

Posted an #Illustration for my upcoming book, THE DEADLY SIRENS on #DeviantArt today, there is a #snippet underneath. This was highly requested by the Beta Readers, so I made it last September and have been holding onto it since then. #Booksky #PNR🔮📚 #UF🌃📚 www.deviantart.com/bornangelaut...

I'm generally depressed about my books right now... I wrote 3.5k words this afternoon while sprinting with friends, I want to talk about my books with others, but find myself unable to because of energy, health issues, spoilers, and *gestures to world then shrugs*. C'est La Vie.

#WIPSnips alright, taking a HUGE chance on this once, cause it's from the Smut short story I was writing for my paywall site, that goes along with NSFW art (which is mainly what the site is about). Story has yet to be posted, but here goes... ⚠️: mention of sex... #PNR🔮📚 #3dArt #NoAi #writesky

So, last week I talked about my NSFW art, and got a unanimous "Post it and use the tags". That being said, I've posted a large project on subscribestar.adult/mrzhyde for the $5+ tiers as this isn't quite tame enough for the "Casual $3" tier.. Here's a few cropped pics. #IndieArtist #3dArt #NoAI

⚠️ #Booksky Hot take: People who skip the Prologue baffle me... It's like starting a book on Chapter 2 because, "Nothing interesting or relevant happens in the first chapter." If there is a Prologue, it is there FOR A REASON: Anyone who doesn't read it hasn't read the whole book!

#WIPSnips catching up on 2 days missed. Here we have a powerful scene in the beginning of the book Between Director Aleta Menis (pronounced Men-ee) and the closest thing she has to a best friend, Daniel Matthis, M.E. ⚠️: Swearing, trauma, cheating gits.

My plan was to finish writing the Valentine's Short (smut story) but I cut my index finger of my left hand (near the nail, it was a gusher) and typing is annoying me cause I have a band-aid on it. So, I'm going to red pen edit instead. #AuthorProblems

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders. Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond. Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

One thing I dislike about being on social media as an Indie Author is the amount of people who follow/interact just to sell you their services. Excuse me, *Sharon*. I don’t need an editor or artist, nor can I afford your prices or to pay beta readers. Please go elsewhere.

Neither grief nor pride had so much truth in them as did joy, the joy that trembled in the cold wind between sky and sea, bright and brief as fire.

#WIPSnips Another snippet from the opening of BALLAD OF THE WINGED WRATH this comes when Daniel Matthis, the M.E and Aleta are talking over a corpse. Sometimes, you regret a relationship... in more ways than one. #PNR🔮📚 #UF🌃📚

3) “When you said ‘prepare for horny town,’ I didn’t know it was the direct express,” he said, looking at his pressed white button down and black slacks, “I’m a bit overdressed.”

Oh, this sounds like fun: 1 like = 1 random line from one of my WIPs/published works 1) “Do I need to get out the crayon box and draw you a picture?” She snarked, then paused as her aura dimmed at the slip. “That was a bit much. I apologize, but I’ve been holding it in for weeks!”

This looks like the usual “boilerplate” standard agreement for any service you use, including Bsky, I may add. So, if you’re looking for something that won’t do that, you’re not going to find it… it also doesn’t say they “own the rights” to that information…

UPDATE: Rootapp is a GREAT substitute it's VERY NEW only beta-ed in June. AND if you have a server on Discord, you can import the template into a new Root Community. So no having to rework it or remember them all www.rootapp.com

After many years of using Discord, and having a Beta Readers Server there, I'm looking for an alternative that isn't going to farm my pics, documents, and private convos for AI... Anyone got an alternative worth it's salt? Top list of asks: No AI No Meta Sadly, I'm not having much luck. 1/2

In six words or fewer, write a story about this photo. #sixwordstory #WritingCommunity #dogs

In BotWW, current #WIP, the FMC is finding out some damning things about her love interest… yeah… ouch is all I gotta say. There is a reason this is the first of a duology. #HeartBreaker #TraumaCore #Ow

Alright, alright, ALRIGHT! 2 months until release, and I haven’t done enough to market: ~ Old Flame ~ Soulmate Throuple ~ Shifter ~ kinky ~ Pack reunited ~ down the the BBEG ~ Last of Quartet. Preorder now! All info ob my homepage: www.thebornangeluniverse.com #Booksky #PNR🔮📚 #UF🌃📚

That should say Death to the BBEG good gods autocorrect. 😣😩

#WIPSnips had a sick day yesterday... >_< But this is one of my favorite scenes so far in BALLAD OF THE WINGED WRATH. 🚨TW: Language and talk of death. #UF🌃📚 #PNR🔮📚 #WriteSky #BookSky

This weekend in Western NY along the coast of Lake Erie, we're going to have "windchills of close to -30 due to the jet stream bringing us air from Siberia..." Wtf? I don't see "Russian Winter" on my bingo card for 2026. 🥶 #WinterSucks #brr
