This is quite literally the reason I stopped marketing my books and never published the Messages sequel and became a lot less active. No one seemed to care. It means so much to indie authors <3
Hey. Hey.
Please don’t wait for an indie book series to be finished before you pick up the books. Just buy them. Don’t wait.
So MANY indie series never get finished because the author gets zero sales on the opening volumes and gives up.
Give them a reason to keep going.
Buy the books.

This!! Please, this! And even if you simply cannot afford to buy it, recommend it to others. Ask for it to be carried in your local library. Heck, engage with the author through social media.

Sometimes being a writer means staring at your document forever, trying to figure out how to make a character more seductive

Not adding a table of contents to my book because none of the chapters are named anyway? Couldn't be me 😶🌫️

Welp, I sold three(!) books since posting this so I'm officially back in the author trenches. I plan on giving you all the Messages sequel by the end of this year if possible and the special edition by next year!
Thank you so much! You've made this author very happy :)

If I sell one more book this year, I'll release the Messages sequel and if I sell two more, I'll also release the special edition 😉
I don't know who's buying my books (especially since I haven't marketed in forever lol) but you are making this author very very happy so thank you 😭 😁

Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm barely (sometimes not) making rent. People have been telling me to start a gofundme but I feel weird about that. But I thought maybe if I was contributing something? SOO I started making shitposting shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

I'm writing one book, yes, but what about second book? Book I only talk about to a couple people? Book I keep open in the background so I don't feel guilty? Book that only has one cool scene idea so far? You know about those, don't you?

The hard part about coming back to a book I haven't worked on in a year is trying to remember what the heck my characters look like ahah

I do have a few projects I've fully abandoned. A couple from years ago that just weren't going anywhere. Usually I walk away from a project planning on coming back to it later, as is the case with the WIP I want to jump back into.

#LateNightWrite Welcome back! Do you have any projects you fully abandoned? Or, if you walk away from a project, do you do it in a way where you can always come back to it eventually?

Their betrothal goes against their families wishes…
This steamy romance is a prequel to Gathering of the Four: Book One of the Serrulata Saga but can be read as a standalone.

For anyone wondering ahah, corpse refers to human bodies while cadaver is used for animals and science. Carrion refers specifically to the decaying flesh while carcass can also be referring to the freshly dead body of an animal
I didn't have "explaining the difference between corpse, cadaver, carrion & carcass to someone" on my to do list but here we are haha
