Hi, #AuthorsOfBluesky! I'm Erika and I love reading and writing but not arithmetic.
I'm working on my first novel, an Urban Fantasy about a girl caught in the world of modern-day Angels and Demons. 🖤
My writing community is small, but I'd LOVE to connect with other authors in this genre!

Ya...still can't do it.
My WIP will stay titled "WIP" until I'm further along in my writing.

When did you announce your book title?
I've seen so many scary posts here about authors having their titles taken between the time they announce and finally go to print 😨

My daughter's school district had an email glitch and sent EVERY STUDENT a library overdue notice 😳
I can only imagine the number of emails those poor librarians had in their inboxes today!

I need a #cookbook where setting the oven is listed as step number four or five.
I'm already stressing about the cookies turning out, then the oven goes and beeps at me and I'm only on step number three and wasting heat 😂

I see a lot of posts asking how to be a best-selling author, but what if you want to build an empire with a die-hard fandom and franchise based off your fantasy books?
Where would one go for that advice? 😉
