Obviously I am in a totally different part of the world but...good luck with the fair, I hope it goes really well for you!
Please DO NOT BUY my novels before reading the FREE sample chapters first! They’re not your traditional epic fantasy, so they might not be your cup of tea. Why not try before you buy? Check them out here: www.imagochronicles.com #Readersky #writerscommunity #BookSky 📚🪐⚔️💙
I think it's just engagement is down a bit, we are all trying to compete while the world goes to shit!
My local towns literary festival was today celebrating the last 10 years of their flash fiction competition. They employed professional actors to read aloud the various winners and runners up. As a novelist I was both inspired and slightly intimidated by the skill of the writers. Wow! #authors
As a good & responsible UK author I know to send a copy of my self-published books to the British Library - its my legal duty. Unfortunately for me I have now been requested to send additional books to the Agency for the legal deposit for library's - bugger! Yet another financial hit. #indieauthor
Haha - that is definitely one way to look at it!
I'm in!
You got my subscription!
Had my first book fair today. Sold 8 books with one of my covers being voted 'best in show'.
Having look around at other displays, I think I need to do some work for the next one. #writers #authors #indieauthor #comicfantasy
In this week's snooker news - yet another drubbing for yours truly (1-4).

Thanks for this and congrats on the book - it's a fantastic achievement and you should be proud and excited in equal measure. I had a similar experience with my first novel which despite some amazing reviews just sat there. Book marketing is tough, I hope it doesn't stop you from writing

www.derekmcartwright.co.uk comic fantasy (think discworld) - just released the 2nd book in my World of Rock series in which the Grim Reaper has a mid life crisis and runs away to be a standup comedian
Looking forward to meeting you, we have over 30 authors, should be a cracking day!
Now here's a little beauty to add to my collection of #discworld first editions. I have always loved the #joshkirby artwork of the early books. #terrypratchett #authors #writers
Date night with the stitches comedy club - tonight we are at Farnham rugby club. #comedy #comicfantasy #writers #authors
Warning - just used the UK Van Compare site for my annual insurance renewal. Filled all my details in, selected a provider and paid the money.
They then advised I had to call them to 'validate' my policy and also give them my drivers license number, NI no and address. Do not use these people
Well that's all my books ready for the Farnham Indie Book Fair on 7th march.
We now have 30 authors - should be a cracking day!

As well as an author and reader I am also a book collector. I am, slowly, acquiring hardback first editions of Terry Pratchett novels - this showed up today - don't mind if I do! #discworld #authors #writers #comicfantasy
“You’re Mareau Brissé, aren’t you?” His lips became a thin line and his hands once again balled into fists. She grabbed her mug and leaned back in her chair. “You do know you’re supposed to be dead, right?” She pushed the chair back on two legs, rested her foot on the table, and took a long, slow sip of her ale, watching him over the rim of the mug. “And who are you?” he sneered, quietly enough to not draw attention but with enough anger to make most hesitate. He glared, but the woman didn’t flinch. She gave him a wide, dazzling smile and let the chair fall back on all four legs with a bump. She leaned towards him and whispered: “I’m a ghost of your past come back to haunt you.” Excerpt From Winds of Destruction Karen Lykkebo This material may be protected by copyright.
Cover of Winds of Destruction. Black haired girl in swirl of wind, holding a spear.
When it's a "meet cute" but it's a grumpy, drunk uncle and his energetic niece crossing paths for the first time 💁♀️
This scene and interaction was the first that popped into my head way-back-when Storm and Mareau crashed my concentration at a boring DNA-sequencing meeting...
(99c right now btw)
The Grim Reaper has a midlife crisis and runs away to become a standup comedian
