BOOK (of the hardcover variety)

For me, dragons are cool in theory, but they all tend to lean into classic prose and the same old medieval setting. Which I find boring.
I know I'm in the minority.

apocalypse parenting: a book series for parents whose kids would definitely try to fight a dinosaur

Do you feel like a hero when you get your horrible & amazing little humans through another day? You are. So is Meghan.

She struggles with monsters, aliens, and supernatural abilities, but also sibling arguments, kid logic, and the same parenting drama we all face every day.

I'm reading the first book and loving it so far 😁

I'm sorta similar? I have my plot beats, then my characters are built with personalities that would lead to those events.

I've read the ARC. It's awesome.

Any other takers? The cover is real cool!

Just received my first author-targeting email scam. Should I treat this as a milestone or something?

Mmm... Nope.

I wanna get my first review that smashes me right in the feels.

It's therapeutic🫠

I'm the same—mashing ppl/characters together to create something new. Some of my characters are splintered versions of myself with particular traits cranked up a notch.

Yus! Let me plug it directly into my brain!

Fingers crossed Audible sorts out the mess with royalties.
Have you considered direct sales with audiobooks? I'm curious about BookFunnel's audio feature. Itch is another possibility, but that might not be as customer friendly (playback/file problems)

What's your plan for distribution?

Got a chance to read a bit of this, and it starts out fantastic.

Looking forward to diving into it more!

😁🤘

Check out this incredible cover for an incredible book!

@authorkfeller.bsky.social has created something unique, quirky and wonderful with The Outsiders of Orkland and @claymorecovers.bsky.social’s captures the vibes perfectly!

Releasing October 13th!
