@poopraven.bsky.social You got a shout out in this vid I'm watching and thought you should know someone appreciated your audiobook.
Screenshot from Indie Fantasy Club video on YouTube. A screenshot is shown in the video of a reddit comment where PMusyourduckpics says "I do if there is any audiobook. I'm currently listening to Jack of Thorns by A. K. Faulkner because there is an audio version. I buy indie and self pub books all the time to support authors but I struggle to read books due to attention issues and a lack of time. So no audiobook, no read."

"I let him finish getting his revenge, and then I got mine." Arlina hikes up her skirt, exposing a dagger sheared to her leg. "You killed him?" Sharidan says, materializing out of the shadows, tail twitching. Arlina nods. "One strike." Stars and Soil.

#SapphicSeptember is winding down but you can still read literally any of my books if you are looking for fantasy with a sapphic lead / main character. I don't think I am physically capable of writing anything else.

Available direct at store.dax.ink and also major retailers.

It was a whole long thread and I don't have Xitter anymore so I can't go finding it but here's some screenshots from her thread on it. She framed the whole thing as short women being at fault for men's behavior and somehow also too oblivious to know what they are doing.
Two tweets from Feminista Jones. First says "Do short women not know how much of their attractiveness to men is related to perceived controllability? Is that a thing yall aren't aware of? Lol cute." Second tweet reads "Ask any woman over 5;10 how harshly men regularly speak to and treat or how rarely she is treated with softness and gender gestures outside of being in a relations ... and even then lol" Tweet from Feminista Jones "Fourth: Size. A smaller woman can more likely be physically dominated and controlled, like a child. Shorter women won't feel like mommy. Slimmer women won't feel threatening. The smaller a woman is the younger she appears and that's attractive to men."

Sorry my alt text is bad but I have my royalty set to 70%and I should be getting $4.71 per copy sold but instead it is only $2.45, which is what it says I would get if it was set to 35%
Screenshot of Amazon royalty price setting page showing Stars ans Soil set to to 70% royalty for $4.71 and 35% at 2.45 but it's the 70% that us selected. Screenshot of reporting page for kdp Amazon showing that 1 ebook copy of STARS and Soil was sold and the estimated royalty is $2.45

Still undetermined on how I feel about Ellipsus as a scrivener die hard but this snippet share is a nice feature.
"It is miraculous," I say, my hand hovering over the door knob. I stare down at my trembling fingers, afraid I am saying too much to a woman who is risking her life to save mine. "Truly miraculous that those born under the Coronet never give birth themselves under any other constellation." "The stars decide our fate," is all the healer says.

She might have been reborn into an otome game as a romanceable option, but if she wants to get her happy end, she's gonna have to make sure the heroine never even considers taking certain routes.
