Hey so remember I was nominated for the Indieverse awards? Well, voting opens this Friday, November 7th! 👀
If you liked this book about a flailing vampire hunter wannabe-vampire, maybe consider voting? 😁

The cover for Stake around and Find Out, with an Indieverse nomination badge added in the top right corner. It depicts lots of vampire themed patches, on a purple denim background. The title is in patches too, with bat wings on the side. There’s a coffin with an eye-plant, a crossbow with a garlic pierced by two arrows, a stake crossed with a skeleton key complete with skull, a hammer with a rosary, a staked heart, a tombstone with a crescent moon, and a paper drawing of a bat, kid style, with a heart and skull added.

The cover is the front of the tenant house, purple blue with warm windows, 6 of them, displaying some of the tenants. From left to right, top to bottom, there’s a vampire hanging upside down, a man cooking, a boarded up window, a demon holding up a fireball, a girl peeking out from behind the curtain, a werewolf reading a book. Below the windows, the title is printed in yellow and orange to match the windows. Corbin, the MC, is lounging at the front door, looking shadowy and mysterious in dark colours, but also a bright red scarf

Hey look, it’s the back of the book that I currently have on sale 👀
(Stake around and find out, on sale for 2.99 on Kobo and the zon up until Tuesday) #writer 💙📚 🌈📚 #indieverseawards #indieverse
The back of the book Stake around and find out. There’s a bat plushie hanging from a cracked car mirror. Text underneath is purple on black, and reads: All that’s standing between Ava and her undying dream of vampirism, is finding a vampire. Not a specific one, mind. Any of them would do, really. After years of fruitless searching, Ava isn’t all that choosey. Which is why she decided to join the vampire hunters. They’re the expert finders, after all. Up to a point. A very well-sanded and sharp point. Only now Ava finds that while she does finally have a foot in the proverbial vampire door, it’s only because of the hunters ransacking their homes. Which is the sort of first impression that would surely get her bitten, only without the fun extension pack. And then there’s Ava’s unfortunate mentor, a hunter so deadly they named her thrice. Helsing. The Unturnable. The Storm before the Calm. Opposite to Ava in every which way. Well, aside from the bit about being human. But Ava will fix that. She'll die, or die trying.

I don’t know why but seeing tubs of foodstuffs that I only ever have as tiny jars in my home always make me profoundly happy.
A 10 kilo tub of sambal. It’s a red and yellow bucket with a yellow lid, sitting on the bottom store shelf. The brand is Flower Brand, the product Sambal Oelek, chili paste.

I’m going to be on a podcast! The lovely Kay invited me to talk about my book and found family, and I was only a little bit awkward about it, hopefully. Dropping January 6th! #indie #podcast 🌈📚 💙📚
The announcement for The Indie Book Podcast Turn the Page. On top is the podcast logo: a black and white sketch of a ship, surrounded by tentacles rising from the water, two curling together to form a heart. Underneath it reads Episode 11: found family in fantasy worlds, a chat with Evie Belknap. Under that are two pictures, left is Kay M Weston, Poscast host, right is a picture of me, the author. I am trying to look aloof and horribly failing. The tags at the bottom are @myendlessshelf and available everywhere including youtube.

It was this one 😁 #lego #library #writer
A mini lego set, featuring a book case with a ladder, which has two cases on top as well as a globe, a cosy couch in front with a little table which holds a cup of tea, a fern, and a minifig, reading a book.

Anyone wanna guess which lego set I got for christmas? 📚 #lego
Clear lego bags, numbered 1 through 4, displayed in a square. Underneath are 3 extra plates, black, 4 by 12. The blocks in the bag are mostly brown, with various small bright colors mixed in.

Please witness this very smug Magento taking a hands free selfie on his latest trip to visit an old friend. #xmen #lego #magneto
The lego minifig of Magneto, the mutant from the xmen series, nineties edition. He’s hovering because I have him on a clear stick, smiling a smug little smile, his hands emitting purple power discs. In the background, out of focus, is the xmen mansion. The xmen are also blurry in the background, recognisable by their colorful costumes. There’s Wolverine, Storm is hovering front and center wielding lightning, Xavier’s yellow hoverchair is tipping over, Jean flying next to him to defend, Bischop is power jumping over the roof, Rogue is giving Gambit a lift, Bobby is a white blob, and Scott is hidden behind Magneto.

Lego Gambit, from the xmen animated series. He’s standing on a white dome, staff in one hand, coolly posed forward with the smirk side of the face showing. He’s holding a hot pink transparent kinetic energy depicting thingie, which has three playing cards attached, as if he’s throwing them.

The cover for the tenfold tenants. The book is the front of the house, deep blue and purple. 6 windows are depicting tenants, the light streaming out warm yellow and orange. There’s a vampire, a guy cooking, a werewolf reading a book, a demon holding up a fireball, and a mystery figure peeking out from behind curtains.

Nobody did it quite like Pratchett. The eloquent bastard (affectionate)
#writer #discworld #pratchett #GNU
A picture of text, page 281 in Wyrd Sisters. He hesitated, picking at the lichened stonework with his fingers. Before he’d left the city he’d asked Hwel for a few suitable words to say to a young lady, and he had been memorising them on the way home. It was now or never. ‘I’d like to know if I could compare you to a summer’s day. Because - well, June 12th was quite nice, and … Oh. You’ve gone…’

Ten more nights before my next book event. I should wear the fangs, right? #vampires #writer #vampirebook 💙📚 🌈📚 #antwerp
It’s me, a white individual with straight brown hair past my shoulders, blue glasses, hazel eyes. I am grinning my teeth bare, showing off the vampire fangs I’m wearing. I also have a bat wing diadem on, and I’m wearing my wellington vampire society shirt. I’m holding up my book, Stake around and find out. The cover depicts lots of vampire themed patches, on a purple denim background. The title is in patches too, with bat wings on the side. There’s a coffin with an eye-plant, a crossbow with a garlic pierced by two arrows, a stake crossed with a skeleton key complete with skull, a hammer with a rosary, a staked heart, a tombstone with a crescent moon, and a paper drawing of a bat, kid style, with a heart and skull added.

Stake around and find out! Not entirely about vampires but more about wanting to become a vampire, and how maybe joining the vampire hunters to finally find one might not have been the bestest of ideas.
