Alexandra Bristol

Today I wrote a 1000 words of my current dark romance project. It might seem like nothing but it feels like a big win since my brain has been mush lately.

It really is worth it!

Graphic marketing the indie book Ruling Scar by author Alexandra Bristol. Red background with white hearts around the border. Includes a list of tropes from the book: fake dating, childhood friends, spice, bookish FMC, mafia romance, MC dog owner. The book cover is in the right hand corner. Includes an excerpt from the book.

This week has been rough so if anyone would like to give me a boost my dark romance books are on kindle unlimited. I would love some motivation and support as I edit my upcoming books in the series. 🖤

The little Pride & Prejudice book! 🥹

The indie book Silent Ties by Alexandra Bristol lies to the right of a dark brown coffee mug on a beige background. Book cover is a dark black with an engagement ring on the center of the cover.

There has been a lot going on with my head lately. Overwhelmingly. But here I am yelling into the abyss about this dark romance book I wrote that is only 2.99. It’s also on KU if you’d love to make an indie authors day. 💕

Dark romance book cover of Ruling Scar in top left corner. The words Dark Romance on KU is written out in white font against a black background on the bottom. Excerpt of the indie book is on the right.

I’ve had KU page reads almost every day this month. Sometimes that means I make a couple of dollars and other days I make a couple of cents. It’s not much but it’s a starting point.

Did something stupid today. Like the no big deal that was kinda silly type of stupid. Anyway I’ll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.

Those emails always make me laugh

A Mac book air laptop open to a word document is sat on a table in a coffee shop. In front of the computer, a hand holds a takeaway coffee cup.

Being an indie author is a lot of highs and lows and worrying that you’re making a fuss for nothing. And then there’s the peaceful times that make you smile as you edit in a coffee shop. I’m sure there are much more eloquent ways to describe it, but that’s all I’ve got. 🖤

My toxic trait as an author? Designing the cover before I actually write the book. 😅😛 #indieauthor #booksky

Black background with three dark romance books by author Alexandra Bristol. Red hearts are in each corner. Text reads “spicy dark romance series on KU.”

I’m currently editing Book 4 in my series. 🤭

Last September I wrote a terrible first draft of Book 4 in my dark romance series. Today I’m finally pulling it up again to start the edits. #writinglife #indieauthor

Collage with black background. Simple black cover of the book Heartfelt Pain in the top left hand coffee. In cursive the words “Dark Romance on KU” is written in right hand corner. Includes an excerpt of the book.

Hello. Me again. Putting my little self out there. This month I’ve already hit 10k KU pages read which might not seem like a lot but for me it seems massive. If you’d like to help me hit even more goals please consider taking a chance on my romance books. 🥰

I ordered Books 1 & 2 of a series and they’ve just arrived. They’re two different trim sizes! 😱 Somebody needs to go to jail. 😡 #booksky

Posting this in the hopes someone will read my book and make my day. #booksky

Just bought some more books but in my defense it’s called market research. 🤭😛 #booksky #darkromance

Cute! 💕

Collage with Black background. Left top corner is the book cover for Ruling Scar by Alexandra Bristol. Beside it is a snapshot of a bookstore filled with books, and an excerpt of Ruling Scar.

Sometimes you just need the mafia prince who you’ve convinced to play your fake boyfriend to buy you a book. #booksky

Rest of the day? It will haunt me for eternity

I need to write one more little smutty scene for a short story so I can finish it today and I have thirty minutes. Let’s see how this goes. #indieauthor

The pain of having to be at work when you’re expecting bookmail. 🥲 #booksky

Light green blue background with vertical black stripes. The book cover of indie book Tangwystle in the lower middle. Below are the words “FFM why choose romance on kindle unlimited.”

One of my goals this year is to sell ebook copies of my FFM Why Choose. Last year I published Tangwystle and while it’s gotten page reads on KU, I’m still looking forward to someone actually buying the book. So if you’d like to help an indie author with her dreams, I’d be forever grateful. 🖤

Yesterday I made $10 in royalties and that might not seem like a lot but my little indie author heart glowed. 🖤 #indieauthor

At our bookclub Christmas party my friend very thoughtfully gifted homemade vanilla extract to everyone and then turned to me and said since you don’t bake here’s some moonshine.

I wrote a thousand words of my latest Why Choose Romance by bribing myself with a soda. #indieauthor

Phone on a wonky charger is one of the best ways I’ve heard it described.

Very big fan of letting my stories marinate for a while.

I’m one of those dorks that actually likes making graphics in canva to market their books so here you go. #booksky #darkromance #indieauthor

Okay but when you see people adding your posts to their Books to Read Pinterest board 🥹💕 #indieauthor

Sometimes I don’t know what I’m doing as an indie author. But here’s a photo of my books.
