Another happy reader. Another reason to make damn sure I keep working on these books. "I was immediately drawn to the character of Angel and wanted to know more about her and her arc didn't disappoint! I loved how her story unfolded." This in particular made me smile. #Booksky

Since the Kobo CEO has been active on social media, I thought this would be a good time to remind everyone that my novel "Archblade: Legend of the Defiler" is available on Kobo Plus. Scifi/Fantasy with Romance, Adventure, Sword/Sorcery and an epic battle of good vs evil. Check it out! #Booksky

Authors, if someone wants you to post/share your book or links, always check their account first. If they say some crap like "Marketing" or "Helping authors grow their brand." Then they just want to sell you services you don't need. We all deserve better. #Booksky

One thing I am loving about writing the 3rd book in my series is it focuses a lot on characters I mentioned at the very beginning of the first book, and I've been wanting to expand on them for the longest time. Maybe a tease? Maybe a non-spoiler update? Maybe a random post. #Booksky

Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, Halo, Dead Space... so many incredible games I get to delve into for inspiration for my writing. Just have to remember to stop playing and write at some point.

Went to the state fair yesterday and saw an "Old time" photo vendor. One of the options was vikings and to my surprise, my lovely and introverted wife was incredibly excited for the idea! We got a fantastic shot that I am shamelessly showing off everywhere (with her permission, of course.)

The internet is full of talented indie authors. Right now, romance/spice authors are under scrutiny for ignorant and misguided reasons. So if you're going to give your time to one author, make it one of them. #Booksky

First Dolly Parton, and now Tim Curry? I mean, good for them for making 80, but they are such awesome people with a great impact on the world (Especially Dolly). Life is so unfair in that the best people are lost to us while the bitter and most destructive people get to live seemingly forever.

It's difficult to give so much to get nothing in return. I have lost count of the number of times I have given a free copy of my book only to get ghosted. I know many folks are sincere about helping indie authors and grow the book community. It's just hard to stay optimistic sometimes. #booksky

I love it when folks say they will add my book to their TBR. While yes, it might be there forever in the endless sea of unknown stories, it also means that it deserves to stand out enough for them to be interested. Anything can make it jump to the top of the list. #Booksky

I am constantly reminded of the inexorable ravages of time... *The feeling of stiffness after a gaming session. *My son asking me "Do you know what clickbait is, dad?" *Some dude looking at my 8-bit art Dungeon Crawler Carl shirt and saying "I love seeing old folks wearing shirts with retro art!"

This new trend of readers/influencers/reviewers declaring their love of indie authors and working with them for free is heartwarming. My feed is full of new folks to follow and check out their content. Doubt I'll be one of the lucky few to be selected but you never know!

I am finally getting accepted to participate in proper book festivals that will require me to sell my own copies! Fellow authors, what is the commonly accepted methods of doing this? Do folks just venmo money? Do you set up a card readers on your phone? Any tips would be appreciated. #Booksky

I LOVE seeing all the posts about opening new Bookstores, indie Bookstores throwing events or just wanting readers and authors to come by. But why can't any of them be close to me?! I live in F-ing Oregon. You'd think there would be a new book store popping up here every day. #Booksky

This is so depressing and infuriating. Three different people wanted to supposedly share my post. All three tried to sell me services in DMs instead. My book is good. I'm a good author. Maybe not amazing, but definitely better than to deserve this kind of scummy behavior. #Bookthreads

Just came up with a scene of two guys on a date where they watch a horror movie based on monsters they had both fought. One dies laughing while the other nearly screams at the scientific inaccuracies. Sounds great, yeah? Well, you have to read "Archblade: Legend of the Defiler" first! #Booksky

Anyone who passes on DCC audiobooks are missing out. There is this bit added at the end of Book 3 where Carl reads a script about writers and that is F-ing hilarious. As a writer myself, him going on about Goodreads reviews and how little you get for all your work... I felt seen and validated.

Someone on Instagram asked me to send them my post yesterday about getting a bookstore to buy my book. I thought: "Oh nice, they want to share book content, help spread the word about my book, and the store itself!" Nope. Turns out they wanted to sell me their "services." So exhausting. #Booksky

Had to stop browsing social media when I saw a story about a woman saying "God chose her son" while he dies from Measles after not being vaccinated. I was so enraged and depressed, I had to stop what I was doing and move on to something more cheerful: The horror-themed monster scene in my WIP.
