Hello Bluesky I'm still alive, that is all.

*I am NOT a professional proofreader, just good at catching typos and willing to help out other broke indies.

#indieauthor #writingcommunity

Also heads up, I am willing to trade art for beta reading, maybe take on a manuscript swap or two, or even do some proofreading*. I just don't have the money for paid betas at the moment. Email me at skelebunstudios@gmail.com if you're interested in swapping services.

Anyway expect about a hundred more posts about this, BUT I am also now formally seeking beta readers for Dragon's Blood, with availability in September. Application here: forms.gle/s5LHA5kyMmYR...

An army of dragons disappearing.
An unseen killer on the loose.
Nothing's ever easy.

HI! I have a new book on the way! The sequel to Shadow's Fate is called Dragon's Blood and it'll be out later this year.

(Yes, the explosion WAS necessary.)

I HEARD IT'S INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY

HAVE SOME CATS

#internationalcatday #catsky #catsofbluesky

So is it hashbrowns all the way down over here too, or just on Threads?

I've written the word "thief" approximately 26472974 times in this manuscript and I still occasionally type "theif."

"What if I treat myself to a not getting out of bed day?" I ask myself as if this is somehow different than a "walking fifty feet to my couch" day.

So I bought a new printer and some sticker paper and holo laminate and spent yesterday afternoon gleefully messing with printer settings and decorating my laptop.

I may or may have a cricut on the way now.

This line goes out to every shitty nepo baby boss I've ever had. ✌️

Screenshot of an MS Word document reading: Oli scratched his head. “I was trying to get a training saddle on them, but they just want to play at this age.” He glared at the juvenile dragon, hands on his hips. “You apologize too.” The pink fuzzball, Nel, made a chirping noise. “They said sorry,” Oliver translated, then let out a deep sigh, tilting his head back. “Work in the dens with the babies, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. It’s definitely not like dealing with pony-sized flying puppies all day.”

Working at the Koszali royal palace is great riiight up until you get tackled by an errant baby dragon.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

Trying to commit to posting here at least once a day, and by that I mean I'm procrastinating on editing.

#indieauthor #booksky #writingcommunity

Sooo does everyone else have a little callus/dent on their pinky finger where their phone rests, or am I just on mine too much?

(Yes, I do think there might be some vampire bat in his family history somewhere.)

Friendly reminder that my book, Shadow's Fate, is certified feline approved! Atlas says his favorite character is Vavel the dragon because they're basically a giant flying cat.

#indieauthor #booksky #catsky #writingcommunity #catsofbluesky

I keep telling myself I should use Bluesky more only to occasionally drop off a cat pic and then disappear again for weeks.

Friends, colleagues, denizens of the internet, I implore you...to look at this widdle face oh my GOD 🥺

MS Word snippet: "The intense moral panic Kasper was trying to hide gave him the look of a hand puppet being prepared for use as a boxing glove."

This line makes perfect sense to Drafting Me, but I fear Editing Me will not be so lucky.

All of that to say, Shadow's Fate is $.99 on Kobo in the US and Canada all through July as part of their summer campaign!

Get it here: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Hey so if you, like me, aren't feeling very celebratory this July 4th, how about supporting an indie author and a non-American company, and picking up a book where the rich man with unchecked political power is explicitly the bad guy?

#booksky #indieauthor #writingcommunity

Yes I am writing fantasy with gaslamp era technology. Yes they do still use swords and crossbows instead of firearms. Yes my formal explanation for this *is* "swords are cool."

#writersky #indieauthor #amwriting

LOW EFFORT MARKETING POST: If anyone needs a break from the celebrity divorce, might I recommend my book in which the ego-driven rich man with unchecked political power is, explicitly, the villain? And the heroes are his estranged daughter and a Robin Hood-coded thief?

(And there's dragons?)

The best/worst part of being an adult is that no one can stop me from a) buying these and b) eating them for dinner.

Hi I forgot about Bluesky again, but Happy Pride from this aspec author and please enjoy a WIP scene of my FMC and another character being very demi and aro, respectively.

Ma'am I really need to finish this. Ma'am please remove your paw. Stop. MA'AM.

Next time I want to put a feathered dragon in a book, someone remind me to consider how much extra time promo art is going to take.
