Sign up and you may soon hear about my forthcoming CLONE book, Precious Children!
Typically we get a percentage of net. We may not always agree with the pricing structure, but we sell the publisher the right to license the ebook (or not). Ultimately it does come out of our pockets.
So disappointed to see librarians continuing to attempt to steal from authors. We wrote the thing. We own our copyright. We get to license it per whatever contract terms we agree on. Libraries are a wonderful public service—they pay for the books so people can read for free. Books aren’t just free!
Awards nominations season is coming up again?? Darn, feels like just yesterday I put up a thread about nominatable(??) works on my end.
As usual I can't quality for Best Editor since I didn't edit many novels last year but I did edit some tremendous works!!

Great to meet you!
And last up, was the first reader I met! @marygthompson.bsky.social read from the first chapter of her novella. One Level Down. Contrary to the title, her simulation SFF story lifted the evening several levels up.
So, nice to meet another amazing local writer!
