Me: You're my favourite character I wrote.

Character: Oh cool, so I get the best lines?

Me: No, that's for the villain.

Character: Right, then I must get the coolest powers.

Me: No, that's for the side character.

Character: ... What do I get?

Me: A creative interpretation of my suffering.

Hey authors!
Whatโ€™s the most insane reaction a reader has had to your book(s)?

One of my readers burned a copy of Splinters of the Heart

If your dud novel is a few years old and you continued to write after it published, it likely means your current writing capability is superior to what you wrote then. This is the natural result of continuing practice.

Editing an old novel is instructive.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. -

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

God Forbid When he wakes up, heโ€™s in a warm, soft bed with a warm, soft comforter. He pushes himself up and looks around the unfamiliar room. Frowning, he searches for something, anything to tell him where he is...

The Giver X Paradise Lost
โœจInspired by US politicsโœจ
God Forbid
A man kills himself & ends up in Heaven. God tells him he's Jesus Christ & to shun the devil. Lucifer tells him God is dangerous, but confirms the man is Jesus. As conflict looms, Jesus must choose who he believes.

Nina Castleโ€™s Take As Prescribed, a spicy adult dystopian, first page teaser: CHAPTER 1

Thoughts and prayers arenโ€™t worth much, at least south of the Divide. Itโ€™s a sentiment the plastics use when they hear of things like our mortality rate or ever-increasing birth defects, but donโ€™t be fooled. This is America where thinkingโ€™s outdated, and we pray to pills.

 In the north, they manufacture god in pharmaceutical bottles labeled โ€œGeNew.โ€ Not that anyone I know could ever afford it. Health, wealth, and beauty belong to the financially devout. To be fair, we all love moneyโ€ฆit just doesnโ€™t love us all back.

 Uncle David tells me foodโ€™s the problem as he peels away two breakfast cubes from their thin plastic wrapping.

 โ€œItโ€™s this damn processed shit makinโ€™ us sick,โ€ he says, smacking the pot harder than necessary on the single electric burner.

 Guess itโ€™s boiled cube, today.

 โ€œThey price gouge us with poison, then try to sell us the cure. Itโ€™s all about money, May, mark my words. Those bastards at HealthCorp donโ€™t give a damn about us unless weโ€™re paddinโ€™ their pockets.โ€

 I nod along as I always do when the injustice inside him spills out in the form of a rant. Davidโ€™s from a time they remembered whole foods, even if what they ate was a mere semblance of the real thing. Perhaps in Europe and the Asias it still exists along with their muffled cries for human rights.

 As for me, I canโ€™t be angry. Anger takes energy, of which Iโ€™ve little to spare. Like everyone this side of the Divide, Iโ€™m ugly with deformities. Weak with sickness. My broad shoulders hunch, and my spine curves to a hump at the base of my neck. My fragile hair litters our single room apartment like the black polyester threads from our tattered clothes. Like everyone, I am dying.

Health, wealth, & beauty in a single pill-if u can afford it. In future America, HealthCorp's lottery is May's best bet to escape poverty & win unrequited love. But w/ the CEO's son's offer to help steal meds, she not only risks his betrayal but her heart

Andy is great at killing monsters. Angels & demons are monsters according the government. Oriana is half angel. She's been held prisoner for most of her life. When their worlds collide it becomes a matter of life or death.
