I write in several genres - this is one of them!

Wow
Nice
Thinking of buying direct but not sure if you can figure out how to sideload files? Audiobooks are a little tricker than eBooks, right? I've made a free product in my Payhip shop so you can practice sideloading PDFs, EPUBs, and M4B (compiled) audiobook files.
💯
Hope she's ok

I hear you. I did my first a year ago. Getting ready to launch my second. They are a lot of work.
Tomorrow my kickstarter campaign video is going live over on YouTube. I've added it to the campaign but it doesn't seen to show up on the pre-launch page? So I'm hoping videos are just a launch launch page thing. #kickstarter #YouTube #author 🪐📚 💙📚 m.youtube.com/watch?v=JAqx...
Yeah, they don't show until you launch

From Gilgamesh’s ancient tablets to Le Guin’s Earthsea, fantasy reflects the eternal search for wisdom and power, often tempered by humility. Across myth and literature, the question is never just who wields magic, but whether they should. #BookologyThursday

Been taking a breather. But I'm writing again. What are you up to?

This is what I love about the indie scene and Maria Ying in particular. They not only allow but ENCOURAGE writers to publish fanfic and earn money from it. Tradpub could never
Spent last night at the observatory. Working on print covers now. How's your Saturday?
I don't watch any of them anymore. Our news is filtered and propaganda.
