So... since I last remembered #BookSky existed, I've released yet another anthology.
For these short story collections, I am both author and publisher.
They bring voices from around the world together, and the resulting stories are endlessly entertaining.
Each sale supports 11 indie authors!
@brianterence.co.uk is essentially my official BlueSky representative, since I never use this site.
Might spend time here if I didn't have to mute everything to avoid politics and use a VPN to view my own DMs.
Sorry, folks. At least Brian is amazing at his self-appointed job and updates you all.
I never remember this site exists.
I log in for once to discover that my feed is full of political BS again and I have a DM that I can't see without verifying my age.
I can see myself giving up on this place.
To whoever DM'd me: sorry, I'm not giving out my credit card deets just to read your DM
Thanks! Alas, I rarely remember BlueSky exists. But I'm hopefully entertaining when I am here.

So worth the wait!

The entertainment aisle at my local supermarket being mostly books makes my heart happy.

I went out to be an actual human being for once. Yay me.

That's right, I've teamed up with an amazing group of authors to produce an anthology. This collection of short stories has everything from fantasy to humour!

Fun fact: I've sold more books with piss takes and cringey jokes than I have writer's lifts, link spams or adverts.
Don't overthink marketing. People like conversations, humour and realness over yet another product link in their face.
#BookSky #WritingCommunity
So they're here as well. Why is that wherever there are authors, the 'digital marketer' and 'book promotion expert' people turn up?
Authors, when do you think they'll learn that we have 0 interest in working with them?
#BookSky #WritingCommunity
I edit my novels, short stories, etc. What I will not do is edit social media posts.
I type on the spot and hit post. You can have the typos as a free gift.

Okay, so they're not that new as I've neglected to update this page, but my aim is to ensure that every indie author I've ever read has 1 book featured here, with link, review and cover.

Thank you! It's probably the coolest thing to happen to me!
08.04.2025 12:51 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Shop Ellie Jay just got an update! One that precisely 3 people asked for, because I do that kind of thing.
BUT you can now place orders for out of stock items, find my BRAND NEW release and more, all in one place!
No Amazon needed

Apparently, some people can sell their books just based off their name. Usually celebrities selling rubbish books that they didn't write.
So... You all know my name. Go buy my books. Promise I actually wrote the rubbish that's in them.

I know, I appreciate them so much!

Okay, so it's not actually in stock anywhere, but you can actually order it through them and pick it up from your local WHSSmith.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Having local writer friends just about keeps me sane. If I couldn't meet up in person and chat sometimes, I would be a total mess.

Ah, yes, that first of the month moment when we indies need to be free from the dashboard of zeros!
Let's try a sarcastic sales pitch: This month, the first person to buy a book from me wins a free holiday to imaginary land!

I appreciate the recommendation, thank you so much!
