looking up stuff for OCs and hoping my personal FBI agent isn't watching too closely

Been gone a while, but for good reasons! Between buying my first home and publishing a second book, I simply didn’t have the energy to post. But I’m back! Enjoy this little drawing I did of my boys from my new novel: Merry Gentlemen. It’s now available on my website!

Yes 😔

Publishing my novella finally- and hopefully some drawing

Send them my way- I’ll gladly repost!

That’s so exciting! Congrats!

It’s here! And it’s ready for order. Today is a very emotional day and hope that many will be able to put the names of those lost in the dedication of this book.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

James Baldwin

I don’t want to be smart any more I’m going to start huffing paint

This is EXACTLY what I imagine for my book THANK YOU!

On my wishlist…

📖 home library
🪜 rolling ladder
☕️ cups of tea
✨ time to read

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

That’s so exciting! Congrats!!

Never hurts to ask! Maybe they’ll start one if they don’t have one already. That’s how Indie Authors have grown in the community where I live. We don’t have a supportive bookstore BUT we have a very supportive Librarian who helps us have a shelf and signings.

I’m not sure, but I recommend going to local bookstores and asking about their ‘local author’ shelves. That’s how I was able to find out which indie bookstores support indie authors.

It’s so much fun! Go for it!

Thank you to whoever added like another 80 books?? This is so exciting. If you’re a #reader and want to join my indie challenge the link is below! And authors, add your books below too!

Yes I love working with authors and artists of all kinds and all budgets. That’s usually where all the fun work comes from!

Same! Mines debuting in January and I can’t wait. To get the proof in the mail was amazing! It’s about a girl and her adventure to find out the truth and save the world from a genocidal dictator within 12 hours.

There's this lovely comedian lady on insta who's compiled a list of indie #authors, so if you want to find new indie books, or add yourself to the list check her out

And check out her #comedy skits, too - well worth your time!

Fr- and if they don’t have the ‘time’ to look, they can try and learn how to draw themselves. While drawing can come naturally- it can be learned too! Art/skill trades are also an option that most people don’t consider.

I whole heartedly agree- there is nothing worse and Author can do for themselves than use AI art. It’s lazy and also shows how little they value their own work. Especially if done by an Indie Author!

Just got this social and thought I’d share this with y’all!

My novella is almost there! Got a proof in and it looks wonderful. Hopefully I can get all the final text in before Jan. 6th so y’all can enjoy a physical copy of my novella.

(Yes the date is intentional!)

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

If you have an indie that takes orders for print, order from them. If you’re e/audio person any retailer or your library is the way to go if you want to help authors. Dont have a local indie, try bookshop.org

ways to support indie and small press authors:
(beyond the obvious of buying their books directly)

- review their books on GoodReads, the StoryGraph, Romance io, the book retailers you get their books from, etc

- recommend their work to like-minded friends or family

If you're an indie author, you need to keep an eye on Indiosyncrasy.

As well as the potential donation button or Patreon ;)

If you’re still taking Authors- I’d love to! Mine Debut novels is being released next month.
