PLEASE check out Dreams of the Sky on @liviajelliot.bsky.social 's Unearthed Stories app. @karlforshaw.bsky.social absolutely nailed this short story🤍 "This story is dark, twisted, disorienting and unapologetically gut-wrenching, and ultimately it left me hungry for more in the best way possible."

Review-dread is here. I've just finished reading my second @aptshadow.bsky.social novel of the year: Service Model. It defied my already high expectations and also the promises it made in its opening act. It's prophetic, poetic, and poignant. Fine art. Showcase of a brilliant mind. #scifi

Okay, y'all, I need your help. As you probably know, last month I lost my job. I was hopeful of finding something quickly but that hasn't happened. My books are all I have right now. If you can take a moment and share my post, it might just help me bridge this gap. Thank you 🙏

I've temporarily lowered the price of my chonky dark fantasy novel (600+ pages) to 99c! It's got lots of magic, flying cars and sarcasm. There's two POVs (it's told in volumes). And the main couples are m/f and m/m. Oh, and it was a BBNYA finalist! :D www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

With thanks to @aptshadow.bsky.social and @rjbarker.bsky.social for inspiring me in Leeds, I have written every day this month and finished the draft. My head feels like swiss cheese, but dopamine is flowing.
