This is a really good book. You should read it! It's Firefly plus Indiana Jones and then some.

I just followed you. I think you need to follow me back before I can send you a message?

Honestly, just read and review the book before or as close to release day as possible! All you need is an ereader, or at least a way to read ebooks ๐Ÿ˜Š

On the hunt for ARC readers for my debut epic future fantasy novel, Cello's Gate. It's like Firefly meets Indiana Jones with a heavy dose of Final Fantasy!

Hit me up if you want more details.

Do we vibe?

What if we're simply not around long enough for the time traveler who's supposed to save us to be born? What if we've spent all this time waiting ... and no one shows up?

Maybe it doesn't need to be said, but I'm gonna say it. I'm not a racist, misogynist, anti-LGBTQ+ bigot on the wrong side of history. I will never support one. And I'll never bend the knee for the sake of mental peace.

Stay weird, nerds. It's time to insulate. Support and promote each other.

I want to start using ๐Ÿคฎ more often in everyday texts. Maybe to replace ๐Ÿ˜ญ idk. I feel i've progressed from crying to straight up vomiting.

There's no beating the way hardbacks look on bookshelves. I just like how easy paperbacks are to read

20.01.2025 21:25 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, this, precisely

20.01.2025 21:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Listen, paperbacks are superior. Specifically, 8x5 or 8.5x5.5. Cream paper. Large, clean margins. 1.5 line spacing. Big and floppy, but you can still fit them inside the front pocket of khaki cargo shorts.

You're welcome to argue with me, but I won't be changing my mind.

Happy insanity week, everyone. If there were ever a week to take off of social media, this might be it. Let the shitstorm begin...

TikTok is gone. Oh, waitโ€”nevermind.

The best storytellers know that if you want to create a hero moment, you have to build tension. No tension; no one cares.

Author friends: how do you approach ARCs? Do you use the sites? Hit up DMs? Post about in stories and come what may?
