I've been thinking about how one of my favorite pieces of feedback to get from beta readers or editors is "This sentence sounds like your OTHER main character." It means I established enough of a voice for each that they can be told apart. 🏅

The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle is still #onsale for October! Going to try and share something every day and see if . . . actually promoting my work helps people know it exists (wild, I know) 😅 Queer horror, on sale!: books2read.com/u/boB9YL steve-westenra.itch.io/the-erstwhil... #indiehorror #booksky

"I glance back at the blackened windows of the hotel office. Inside, an electronic device blinks off-on-off-on like a flickering modem light. Something about this struggling machine on an island technologically trapped in the 1850s compels me. I stand in front of the window, press my palm to the glass. I stare inside, and though I can’t place why, for only a moment, it’s like someone’s staring back. Like the machine is an eye—blinking, assessing, watching.
The breeze ripples against Three Wolf Moon. It could be Echo Island’s breath, a deep exhale after years holding it all in." - The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Can true love happen after 35? Absolutely, but you might need to fall on your ass to find it. Will does just that in this short story while getting ready to open his queer-as-heck coffee shop. A beta reader: "this GOLDEN RETRIEVER OF A MAN!" Get it: skyewritesromance.co... 💙📚🌈📚🌈💜

The book cover for Knock Me Down shows a coffee cup, and three subtitles. A meet-cute is crossed out. A meet-disaster is crossed out. A meet-concussion is not crossed out.

Arrows pointing to the cover list elements of the story: short guy and tall woman, clumsy male main character, he's pan, both main characters are 35 or older, she's grumpy and he's sunshine.

Why you should use a PHYSICAL scene separator (e.g. asterisks) in your books instead of an empty space: 1) Some ereader / app somewhere may simply not show the empty space. 2) Some people read on devices with the text REALLY BIG. Your chance of the empty space being at the end of the screen is...
