Happy New Year! I published my last story of 2025 last night.
When Krampus and the Winter King make peace, two rival swordsmen are denied their yearly fight. They decide to test their skills more privately. Cocktails and mistletoe follow. 7k.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

There are some indie authors following the corporate American model of pretending their books on their websites are on sale for Black Friday by price hiking them, so if you're not a fan of that, be wary...

This book is the 2nd in a trilogy that explores queerness and trauma through vampire lore, all against the backdrop of an impoverished rural community that has its own monsters 👀

PAINTED FLOCK deals heavily with compulsory romance and toxic ideas around romantic relationships. "More than friends" as an expression to mean sexual-romantic partners irks me to no end, so of course it's right there in the thick of the narration.
