β¨ ART REVEAL β¨ When I say Sheltered in the Storm is cozy and spicy, I mean *cozy* and *spicy.* And I have lots of spicy art for this book, but this coziest of cozy art by the one and only @honeyy.fae captures the essence of Vos and Callaβs relationship. This book is about care, healing, and comfort.

The publishing industry is built on the idea we won't. The predators hope we won't, and do everything they can to shut down avenues for sharing info. (Personal experience talking here.)
Speak up. Ask questions. Listen to your gut.
There are so many ways authors are taken advantage of in this business. Every day we hear about new scams and predators, in addition to ones we've already unmasked.
I honestly believe the only power we have as authors is to talk about our journeys with each other.

This has been a YEAR. π΅βπ«
So many highs and so many very low lows on both personal and authorly levels. I hit some publishing milestones, broke free (mostly) from a toxic publishing relationship, wrote stories and books in a new-to-me genre, and rediscovered my love of writing...

Authors, what word count trackers are we loving? I use Scrivener so I have the numbers, but Iβd like something that gives me some colors and that boost of serotonin when I hit or exceed goals and shows me lovely progress graphs.
Hit me with your recs! π

How many tentacles does imposter syndrome have? Forty? At least?
