Apparently Indie Ink Awards 2025 are open for nominations. You could totally do ERRANT WINGS if you want! I think it's a neat story. But I'm also not very popular, so whatever happens happens! I have other things to focus on.

Errant Wings
Wings aren't supposed to be this much trouble... On their sixteenth birthday, foundlings grow wings—either angel wings or devil wings—and their value to the city depends on which one. To Asher, devi...

I don't know that my books will win awards. But I would like to bait you into nominating me. So I have prepared award bait. It's masterfully prepared. Please take the bait. Nominate Woodpusher for the Indie Ink Awards. Make this master baiting worth my time.

indiestorygeek.com/story/4958
Handwritten yellow text reading "award bait graphic" with yellow font reading "Nominate Woodpusher for an award before someone else does" beneath it. All of this is over a background that fades from blue to black from right to left. The cover of Woodpusher by S. Morgan Burbank is in the upper right corner, featuring a pale skinned woman with her hair in an orange bandana staring through broken glass.

An ad for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. To the right is the cover featuring Seth, an angel with pink wings, white hair, and bright eyes leaping across the cover in profile while pink smears the blue background and eyes stare at him. To the right of it is the description for the work in question, which is: "Deadbeat Trent Cain can't catch a break. Life's been one disaster after another, rent's always due, and he's always late. Even his band doesn't want anything to do with him anymore and playing the guitar was the one joy he had left in life. When he takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he walks right into another disaster: five angels waiting to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of be not afraid, they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there’s something familiar about this one..." Below it is a list of what you'll find in the work. They read: decaying seraphs, a deadbeat guitarist, a coy angel with a lead pipe, an otherworld parallel to ours, and blood & viscera everywhere. On the right side below the cover there is a call to action for preorders, the Dec 6th release date, and a URL where you can find a copy, which reads: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

According to @underthedesknews.bsky.social, it isn’t over yet. There'll be another vote.

CALL THEM ALL, especially these 8 “YES” votes:

Cortez-Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

It isn’t over.

(I mean, PROBABLY, but maybe we can SCARE them out of it.)

There are still multiple votes left, CALL.

CALL if one of the turncoats is your senator.
CALL if your senator voted no and lay the pressure on anyway.

People's lives literally depend on keeping their ACA tax credits. Read them the riot act.

I know nothing is official yet, but I feel like I could throw up.
Hi, this is me. 70% of my reliable teaching income next year will be eaten up by my health insurance, which I need because I'm chronically ill.
I hope those 8 dems who voted yes never have a moment's peace.
