Hey Bluesky! I keep hearing about it so why not come hang out.

If you don't know me, I'm an indie thriller author just trying to find time to write stories for people.

My latest book, Bound To Parish, is available on Amazon or at davefillawrites.com 📚

Here: me and my cute girl Harley for y'all
Hey Bluesky, it's been a while, but I thought I'd drop in and share a blog post.

Let's talk about how success actually really scares me.

Refining Ties is available for preorder, and releases March 2nd!

Confidence Is Key: How I deal with writing anxiety
I admit it, I'm not great at distancing myself from the writing. I don't mean every book has myself as a character in it (although they all have pieces of me floating around inside their heads), but w...

I told y'all I'd be ramping back up as the book got closer to release, and here I am with another blog post? This is a short one, but in it you can find some thoughts on growing as an author, Harley (my adorable cat) and the final tease of the cover!

I hope everyone had a good long weekend! Regardless of how the world is right now, it's always nice to have a three day weekend, especially when you don't get them as often as you wish. Holidays aren'...

With the second book coming along, and Fourth of July at the end of the week, Bound To Parish is FREE this week in celebration! Come down to Pointe DeLeaux and read a chilling thriller to beat the heat. Then be on the lookout later this year for the sequel!

Cover tease #2. Religion is rooted deeply in the south, so we're keeping with the theme. But what could it mean?

Whoa, what's this? A blog post? It's either a trick, or a return to the world of social media in anticipation of the next book. You'll just have to read it to find out.

Returning to the blog, now with 100% more cover teases!
Oh, hi there! It's Dave, that writer guy that you all may or may not remember. My last blog post was...my birthday last year? Time really flies when you're in the depths of trying to do something you'...

Life has been hectic recently, but I come to you all bearing good news.

My self-edit for the sequel to Bound to Parish is finally finished!

I don't remember if I've given you all a title yet, but as it stands, Refining Ties should be out sometime this fall!

I'm just saying, maybe it's time to start celebrating the Ides of March as a holiday.

I think this sums up how yesterday was. Trying to get as much as I could and mourn the loss of 170 million friends. I keep thinking about a sentence I heard. "If banning TikTok in the US doesn't radicalize you, it should."

Only the bright side, I have no more excuse not to get this sequel done!

Sales have been so slow the last couple of days, so if you see this and don’t mind reposting* my book and short story posts, I would very much appreciate it!! When you’re job hunting, every cent counts lmao 😂🙈

I’ll try and repost everyone back! 🤍🤍🤍

*book posts under media tab 😘

Hey, let’s all read more.

welp, TikTok is officially gone, so I guess it's time to shout into the void here instead. I know for sure I'm not using Twitter. Facebook and Instagram might be necessary evils of the author life, however.

Either way, I'm sad.

Happy New Year from Harley and I!

The sale of Bound To Parish pushed me to 80 reviews on Amazon! Thank you all so much! I'm so happy people love it, and I can't wait to bring some more of Alphonse and the Pointe to y'all later this year!

Now to just finish the story...
January 1, 2025 at 2:48 PM
As we welcome in a new year (happily or not), I just want to thank everyone for giving my words a chance. I look forward to continuing to bring them to you for as long as I can!

Now, all I ask is for some well wishes about my oral surgery coming up on Thursday. 😬

Today's the final day to grab the Kindle version for only .99 cents! In celebration, here's what I consider the BEST review I've gotten for it. A "masterclass in southern gothic storytelling"?? I mean...come on now. 🥰

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

Just a random question for the authors of #Booksky

Have y'all ever gone back to read your book as a reader? Not as in editing or anything but after it's done and out, just sitting down to read it?

I'm working on a sequel and decided to read the first again to get the vibe back. It's an experience.

Only two more days to grab a copy of Bound To Parish for .99 cents! #indieauthor #thriller
December 30, 2024 at 1:47 PM
People have still been grabbing the .99 cent Kindle version of Bound To Parish and I couldn't be happier! This is a great way to end the year, and motivate me to finish this sequel!
December 29, 2024 at 8:50 PM
Woke up to another three copies sold! I seriously love everyone grabbing one.

only 99 cents until the end of the year! davefillawrites.com
December 28, 2024 at 1:38 PM
I've sold 4 copies of Bound To Parish so far, and I hope those people love it! It's .99 cents until Jan. 1st if you wanna join the club of people that make my heart happy! Otherwise, I'll just be here watching this mafia documentary on Netflix.
