Indie writers are real writers. Self-pub writers are real writers. Trad pub writers are real writers. None of us are better than each other. I only wish the readers who need your work find it.

I do love David Tennant and his response to this question in the Guardian today.
Are you protective of the doctors that have come after you, having seen what Jodie Whittaker and Gatwa faced?
These debates – and it’s not even a debate, it’s a small clutch of people shouting very loudly, amplified by certain elements of the press – are not reflective of what most people feel. Things become ludicrously disproportionate, and end up being unnecessarily cruel. That’s what the trans debate seems to have become. Most people don’t give a shit. I genuinely believe most people just want to let people be themselves. All they’re doing is making a tiny portion of society who have a really tough time anyway have an even tougher time.

20 days to book launch! Today's snippet is brought to you by RW's Companion Side Quest™ #BookSky 🩵📚 📢📚
A snippet from Scars of the Raven on a blue starry night background. Text reads as follows:
“You might want to take a look at this!” Golmin called from the front. Red Wolf glanced up at him and found that he had stopped on top of a small hill overlooking the area below. He quickly dismounted and led his horse up on foot, stopping beside Ettrias. Talin was right behind him.
The village, if it could even still be called such, had been completely levelled. From a distance, he could see the blackened remains of some of the houses, crumbled away after so many years, but other than that, it was as if Velnora had never existed at all. Something tugged at the back of his memories, locked away, still out of reach as always. Phantom screams echoed across the cold tundra.
“There’s nothing left,” Talin whispered, and something in him shattered at those words.
“We should keep moving.” He let out a shaky breath. “Coming here was a bad idea.”
