This picture always makes me so sad. :(

Oh, hey! I'm glad you liked it. :)
'Rafts' and 'Far Flung' are pretty different books... depends whether you're keen on romantasy or science fiction. Both are very much character-driven stories, so they have that in common!

I self-publish too, and even when I've had books well-received, and heard lovely comments, there are spaces of time where that dries up... often in those gaps between books where you have nothing new to offer, and you start to wonder again if it's all worth it.

I love Oglaf, there are so many of them I find hilarious.
My favourite is probably Labyrinth (SFW).

What is this... 'promo work'... of which you speak? I still need to figure out how to market. :)

It had a Tuther in it so it was pretty good. :)

Haha, thanks! <3

It's super frustrating. But that's the pain of trying to vend as a writer, I suppose.

Yeah, she's been doing it for a bit now... we've had adjacent tables at one or two cons, her with her crochet and me with my books. She outsells me about 5 to 1, of course!

Hehe, thanks. :)
