I am most proud of publishing Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror

It contains some of the best stories I've ever read, and I'm so honoured that the writers trusted me with their deeply personal works

Indie Authors, how many paperbacks do you take to a bookfair?
(I'm talking Australia Bookfair in Melbourne, so national book fair and state capital city location 😉.)

I'm thinking;
Trilogy
Book 1 x20
Books 2&3 x10

Sythe Series
Book 1 x20

(I hope to do 2-3 events annually)

Cover Reveal Countdown #1! Last one! Tomorrow you get to see the real cover for the first time EVER! So here's your LAST faux-cover:

The Black Cat Detectives is NOT an angsty teen vampire novel!

At the foot of a gothic stairwell, a cartoon cat with a flower by her ear stares over her shoulder at you. In the distance, another cartoon cat also stares. This one has a wide open grinning mouth and elongated white fangs. In the extreme foreground, tucked in a corner, is a tiny gray bunny with a matching grin and fangs.

It's nearly 5 am. Here's a kitty. That's all.
A ginger cat sits in the arm of a pink wingback chair. Her front paws are on the chair arm in front of her. Her back leg and tail dangle down to the seat cushion below. Does she think the chair arm is a horse and she's a cowboy? Could be. Could very well be.
