When I went to sleep, my wife was writing. When I woke up, she was still writing. Sometimes, authors have to do what it takes to finish a book. #AuthorSky

It's crazy how the UPS guy doesn't show up with the books until 30 mins before the post office closes. Now we have to rush, but I'm determined to make sure my wife gets these signed copies out today.

Order your a copy!

To be a writer, you have to write. My wife released book one of her Lady Widow series today, but instead of taking a break, she's streaming writing sprints as she works on Book 2.

A lot great advice on the newest episode of the Written in Melanin podcast. Listening to a prolific veteran author talk about how she navigates the industry brings a new perspective.

I'm curious #BlackSky how many of y'all are actually *about* reading Black authors? 🤔

Like, the whole gambit.
Buy the book.
Read the book.
Tell someone about the book.

Cause I run @melaninlibrary.com and I want to make sure I'm talking to the right people.

@clockhartwrite.bsky.social the author of We Are The Origin. Everyone knows she writes books about black girls who aren't that nice but she also writes books with realistic multifaceted black characters.

This is me, casually dropping a Black book on your TL. It's Black. It's indie. It's free today. I've heard it's funny.

And it's got a vampire, a witch, and a siren at an HBCU ✌🏾
