Yes! I published my first book this month in fact!
This one is not a YA Sci-Fi, it’s a part satire, part paranormal fantasy horror
Why does Bill need to pay a child 50 dollars for a super soaker?

Feels like there’s no good spooky content this October right?
WRONG. My book is about ghosts and demons and all kinda spooky nonsense. Order a copy now before I have to come up with a Thanksgiving themed pitch!

The new book is YA Sci-Fi!
11.10.2025 14:25 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0As diary would definitely be handy. I really just want to see if I can write an and edit a book in one year. It took me 13 years to finally publish my first book because of all my stopping and starting. I want to see if I can just buckle down and knock one out without compromising quality

11.10.2025 04:51 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Thought about setting a goal to write 500 words a day next year so I can finish my first draft around the summer. Ended up just writing 1000 words today. The mere thought of having a goal made me productive. Anyway, my second book is fully underway

#writingcommunity #Writing #writesky #Booksky
🚨🚨🚨ATTENTION ATTENTION🚨🚨🚨
ONE HOUR REMAINING UNTIL #GRIMPORTENTS OFFICIALLY DROPS
Thank you for your time
You know that this is by now. I’ve posted the same alt text every day on every post. It’s the damn book. Buy it!
Grim Portents launches in less than 5 hours, so if you buy an e-book (to accompany your print copy of course) you can probably finish it by around 6AM, depending on your reading speed
#writingcommunity #Writesky
Thank you!!! I hope you enjoy it!
08.10.2025 18:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Writing is definitely a field of passion and not profit. When I set out to publish my book, I really just wanted a professional copy on my own shelf, any other sales were just a bonus!
08.10.2025 15:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0FINAL DAY before #GrimPortents releases. Less than 14 hours now. And wouldn’t you know it, “dungeon” isn’t used in the book. I do have “Hell-mouth” though, is that something?
Buy it now: a.co/d/1gsRe8m
Or anywhere books are sold!
#writingcommunity #WIPSnips #Writesky #Booksky
Oh wow! Copies appear to be going out early for a lucky few who pre-ordered! But fear not! The book officially releases at midnight in all formats on pretty much any website you can think of!
(Also thank you Whitney I hope you like it!)
It’s a bit of a horror comedy with paranormal fantasy, and thanks! I designed the cover myself!
