This is probably a good time to mention that Book 1 in the series, Shadow's Fate, is currently FREE on Smashwords for their Read An Ebook week! (And Book 2 is 25% off)

Was I planning on making a book trailer this week? No. Did I do it anyway? Obviously. Did I go overboard on the special effects?Probably.

Anyway, Book 3 of the Shadow's Bastion series is called BEAST'S BURDEN and if all goes according to plan, will be out this summer.

I have been sitting on so many art ideas for Dragon's Blood that were too spoilery to share BUT it's out now, so.

He continues to be so done with being the main character.

I think everyone needs a kitten break right now.

Anyway, this is Kicia and she is easily the best new character in Shadows Book 3.

Sometimes I find lines in the WIP and just sit there and squint at them, trying to decide if they're good or the dumbest thing I've ever written.

So am I the only one who sometimes goes "treat yo' self" and then goes on a downloading spree on DaFont, or...?

When your MMC is SO done with being the hero.

Sir you are making it VERY DIFFICULT to write.

Hi. I think I forgot to mention here that I have a new book out?

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.

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.

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 🥺
