Okay, one trope that does kinda bore me but CAN be done well: The storyteller, writer, or historian as the MC. I'm not talking about a character narrating the story from the present. I'm talking about stories where we follow an author as they struggle to... write. The life

How about a #fantasy #heist novella? Skyfold is the latest book from author @timmckay52 . Prepare to meet resilient characters looking to create change. But first? Danger and betrayal. This book is a #pageturner. https://t.co/qrMRZaXFYL

‼️ Pre-order 🔗 floating around in the comments, like a sharky turd (a simile that just might be in the book). Join those lucky ranks of people who robbed me at 99 cents ‼️
I had the privilege today of reading The Devil In Mia. I could not put it down. Finished it in one sitting. Insidiously scary, deliciously horrific, entirely believable - & an ending I DID NOT SEE COMING. 10/10 will read again. @Hart_Horrors is turning me into a horror reader.

The father of Shadow and Death - @timmckay52 The Unputdownable Reflection I've been exploring indie authors, and this is a standout among the crowd. I may have been influenced by the daily reads of one Novella per sunset, and then I happened to come upon this read. At

We’re in a weird, wonderful new era of books. You don’t just buy a book; you talk to the author who wrote it. I’ve read half a dozen indie books this year and it wasn’t because of blurbs or reviews. It was because I’ve joked with these writers. Debated storycraft. Laughed in

Ages end. Heroes rise. Death comes for all. Will you stand in the light, or be consumed by darkness?

I’m late to the party— but book taglines only? No cover, graphics, or title! 🩸Lies woven in blood are lines waiting to be crossed. 💠 When the shadows stretch and light laments the loss of their first and last love, six seals crafted shall shatter. ⛩️ I have grown hungry.

Ya know, authors sometimes sound like we're in a cult. A lot of woo-woo nonsense to mask the fact we're all just winging it 😅

Seems a trend now for authors to say you can't or shouldn't sell books on Twi/X. BUT It is a great place to network with other authors while honing your craft. It is also a great place to meet reviewers who can extend your reach to their audiences. And it is a great place to
