The Adventures of Ellie & Ninja Cat by Alex McNab-Lundbäck | Interview | Author Interviews Write before you’re ready

The reality of being a published author sets in when you have an interview as one!

Was great chatting to @authorinterviews.bsky.social about how I became a MG Fantasy author, & the journey towards my latest book, Clockwork Labyrinth (out Oct 30).

Read full interview here: tinyurl.com/3mnu7ebk

Does anyone know of / can recommend anyone who makes good ‘book trailers’? Seen some really good ones on IG, but maybe they’ve been made by Publishers…

Comment on this thread if anyone knows of good Book Content Creators who might be able to help!

Thanks Lorna! Will do! 😀

Thanks! This is only my second book, and I’d say my first ‘serious / proper’ book - so really excited to see how this one lands!!

That’s it! The Final Final draft of ‘Clockwork Labyrinth’ is finished, edited, proofed and typeset! It’s locked in!

Tomorrow it gets sent off for Author Proof.

(I’m still accepting ARC reviewer applications- link in pinned post).

Release date: Oct 30th.

Just randomly checked my Junk Mail folder….

Read two emails…first one telling me I’d been #shortlisted for a writing comp I entered….

Then a second telling me I didn’t win!

Rollercoaster of emotions in the space of 4 minutes!

#writersky #booksky #fiction #literaryaward #author

Amazing! One day one of my upcoming books will feature on one of these lists. #manifesting

Oh and to add…

It’s insane that I’ve hit almost 1,000 followers on here!

Thank you to each and every one of you!

I realise maybe only 1% of you read my book(s)…but even that is amazing! So thank you!!

#grateful #writersky #booksky #followers #author

Maybe I’ve already said…but I took some time offline due to going through some personal issues.

But now I’m declaring myself BACK!

& starting with exciting news on release of my 2nd Book… Clockwork Labyrinth!

Release date: Oct 30th!

Comment or DM if you want to be an ARC reader!!

Morning. I’ve been quiet on this here due to personal life…

But, I started this acct to promote my writing, & my monthly KDP alert just reminded me to be grateful that even 7 mths on, people (ok, only 5-10ish p/m) are still buying ‘Ellie & Ninja Cat Book 1’!

Book 2 launches soon! Watch this space!

I doubt anyone has missed me - but just to say ‘I’m back’ (on BSky). I’ve been absent for a bit due to travel, work outside of fiction writing, & going through a divorce….

But…you can now expect me to be back posting & engaging more frequently from now on!

#writersky #writesky #imback #awol

I’ve decided - removing a Tick from your ear is (so far) the most awkward and thus painful place I’ve had to remove a tick from!

#trailrunning #trailrun #summer #countrylife

Getting my KDP reports each month is always a surprise - but a lovely one! So heart warming to know people are still buying my book! (another 30 people in May!)

Looking forward to the imminent release of Book 2: Clockwork Labyrinth!

Tomorrow is going to be a good day…. new car day!

My first foray into the world of #ev ownership!

#newcardelivery #electricvehicle #mgmarvelr #mg

I’m sure lots of people will disagree or have viewpoints on the actual impact… but to me it’s fitting that I chose to swap my 2.5l Diesel for an #EV yesterday on #earthday

Can’t wait to take delivery and join the EV Revolution…

#electricvehicle #earthday2025 #mg #divorcedistraction

Just taken a test drive of the #mgmarvelr - I think this could be my new car!

I’ll soon be making my foray into EV ownership! Scary…but inevitable!

Now just to decide between the AWD or RWD version…. 🤔

#ev #electricvehicle #gogreen

Got my first KDP Royalties summary yesterday…my first EVER…

Only just checked it though…

Approx €100 from sales of my book!

Ok, ok… I know it’s hardly ‘a living’ - but I’m humbled & proud to know that so many have bought and enjoyed my book!

A side-by-side digital comparison of two white SUVs representing different vehicle types. On the left is an MG electric vehicle (EV) with a sleek, modern design and the MG logo below it. On the right is a Ford hybrid SUV with a bold grille, accompanied by the Ford logo. A large “VS” is centered between the vehicles, with arrows pointing left and right, indicating a decision between EV and Hybrid options.

Hej…Can the Bsky folk help me decide? Looking to buy a new car…narrowed it down to 2:

1. #Ford Kuga Hybrid (ST Line X)
2. #MG Marvel #EV.

Never had an EV so 2. would be a big change for me but I’m tempted…especially as I’d get free charging for first year…

Thoughts?

#ev #hybrid #carchoice

‘Honestly, I’m doing ok..really!’ (opens fridge)

That’s the dream right there!

Hypothetical 🙋🏻‍♂️: If going through a divorce, does one:

A) Immerse oneself in his latest YA fantasy WIP and get this bad boy finished!

B) Go all in on Social Media ranting about anything & everything.

C) Wollow in self pity & drink my way through my stash of fine scotch & gin.

D) All of above!

Not getting my hopes up too much about tomorrows #revpit results…but can’t wait to see all the responses nonetheless.

I’ve not been too ‘on top’ of #10queries #revpitteasers as I’d have liked due to navigating some personal sadness these last few days…

But best of luck to everyone tomorrow!

Two words: Find / Replace! 😉

I can’t work out (or at least unsure) if one of these was mine 🤔 It could have been…but it was a bit too cryptic for me to guess! I suppose that’s the point! Haha

Big day today! Just finishing a second coffee before I head to the studio to record the audiobook of Ellie & Ninja Cat, Book 1!

More info on release date in the coming days…

I’d say a couple of years ago I realised how much I loved writing…but at that time it was just articles, blogs, speeches & print journalism. Only in last year I’d say have I wished (and accomplished) solely writing for a living…& only last 6mnths had a vague idea of writing fiction for a living! 😀

Haha - good point! 😀

Thanks - it’s written and under editing as we speak. It’ll be self-published if no rep by June! 😀

A moody digital illustration of a young girl standing beside a black cat and large pocket watch in a surreal, shadowy maze. The atmosphere is eerie but calm, with British-style politeness suggested in her upright stance and tidy appearance. The background twists with impossible corridors, suggesting both mystery and an existential journey.

Like Stranger Things, but British, weirdly polite, and trapped inside a cursed pocket watch from your nan’s attic.

Also features a cat, a labyrinth, and a slow-building existential crisis in the shape of a child.
