Here's a great way to support indie authors without spending a dime. On Amazon and Goodreads, look up that author and follow them. You'll get updates on book releases. It's free and helps boost that author's profile. It would mean a lot to me if you could follow me on those sites. Thank you!

I’ve always said I’m an indie author because I’m published by a small independent press. But is the term only applied to self-published authors now?

Me: I’ll write this scene though it’s probably mostly here to link the important bits of the story
Also me: … Oh. So this is one of the most important and defining turning points in the MC’s whole character arc.
I seriously love when writing does this.

When they said Bluesky is like oldschool Twitter, they weren’t lying.
I like it here, but have no idea what I am (supposed to be) doing. 😅

Publishing is exhausting and time consuming, but it is also incredibly rewarding.
I’m not talking about money or making the bestseller lists or anything like that.
I’m not even talking about readers enjoying my books (though that is absolutely fantastic too). (1/3)

My Review: Kellieth ReinAraneinth is caught between multiple rocks and abundant hard places, as when the story begins they can barely catch their breath. Literally. They may not be human but their breathing and sense of smell are both compromised by on-the-job chemical exposure resulting in a condition that may not quite BE chronic asthma, but is close enough as to make no difference.

My newest book comes out in a couple of days, and I am totally normal about it.
… If normal means obsessively checking GR and Bookstagram to see if anyone is talking about it and squealing with joy every time someone comments or shares a post about it.
Anyway, how is your week going?

Writing in English as a second language
For authors, the English language book market offers the potential for more readers and bigger advances. But how does one go about breaking into the biggest SF&F market if you are not a native English speaker? 💙📚

A big Danish publisher announced a romantasy contest last week. So um, I’ll be doing that for a few months. Yes, it is going to be very queer. No, I don’t expect to win, but I’ve been putting off writing a book in my native language for years, and this is an opportunity to get past that hurdle.
