The audiobook for Westside Oracle will remain gratis on my webstore because I believe that once you hear
@cassandramedcalfvo.bsky.social
narrate the first book, you'll want to hear the other three. The book is good on its own, but her performance is top notch narration!

Sent this to my kids so they’ll remember who I am in four days when I return from #rainforestwritersretreat

Took these at St. Edward’s Park last Friday. The sunlight hit the abandoned dog toy just right. Also, a tree devouring the remains of another tree.

I’m starting to understand why my books sell better on Amazon than Kobo or Barnes and Noble. Their search engines suck. I had to hunt down my first in series ebook. The search engine came up with ALL of my other books but not the book I put in the search 🤦‍♀️

Caught the mountain out in Seattle yesterday. Also captured the snow moon on my way home from the gym last night.

When my conman ex left me holding the bag in his latest, I thought becoming the Oracle would get me out of trouble. Out of the frying pan into the gates of Tartarus.
Join me as I learn how to use my Oracular gifts to stop a family feud with catastrophic consequences.

I love these covers and working with Raven was the best 😍
I *finally* get to share this so here goes! I was hired to do the cover art for a series of books by @tjdeschamps.bsky.social featuring a middle-aged, badass woman named Lydia, who's a Greek Oracle in modern day. I love this series set in the PNW & was so happy to do the covers.

Rhiannon the rock witch is my favorite morally gray character in the Midlife Supernaturals series. I’m definitely bringing her into my Supernatural Legacies series. We all need an auntie Rhi! #witchybooks #indieauthor #pacificnorthwest #witches #witchyreads #witchybookshelf

Good morning from Whidbey Island, Washington
Hope your Saturday is going well !

Please don’t ban us. Our own government is already trying to do this.
I use a UK company to deliver books from my webstore and small business to deliver the audiobooks.
When you buy direct from voices of resistance, you’re putting money directly in their hands.
Somebody I follow who is not in the US has questioned whether it is ethical for him to continue to buy book written by US authors and I'm like . . . most of us are victims of this regime, not supporters. 😥😕

Still sick 🤧 but could not help but get an epic Seattle’s first #snow ❄️ of the winter pic, featuring my youngest. He’s 18 going on 1880

I’ve been sick all week. My best friend just dropped off a care package and like always, I’m grateful to have good people in my life who support me in their unique way.
Thank you, @ladybignoise.bsky.social

If you, as an indie author, come on social media to bash how other authors write (on subjects that are not problematic just opinion on writing style), that’s not a good look.
It’s okay to have opinions as a reader, but as an author, you’re saying “Their books are trash! Read mine!”

Pssst…I have a website
Pssst…when you buy books from an author’s website, you put money directly into the pocket of an artist instead of a billionaire.

You can usually find a link 🔗 on their profile.

I was having trouble concentrating this week. (Shocking, I know.) Decided to work on adding more books and merch to my website from the library. Writing later.

Yes. This.
Some ideas about how to resist creeping authoritarianism:
- find joy in your community
- engage in mutual aid
- be sure to get enough sleep, water, and calories
- move your body in ways that please you
- support independent media and artists (and make your own!)
- use cynicism sparingly
- pets

I’m writing a book that might get banned. But, I have this art print I bought at the Museum of Latin American Art in LA a few years back. It’s the message of my books. 📚

Welcome! I’m still figuring this app out, but it’s been great so far
An intro!

I'm C.N. Rowan, author of the award-winning series The imPerfect Cathar, a dark urban fantasy full of heart following a trio of immortal heretics from the three Abrahamic religions through the obscure history and mythology of France. My next series is The Broken Hotel for Magical Misfits.

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.

His words still ring true and seemed fitting on this day of remembrance.
