Writers, tell me something about your current book that your readers DON'T know yet. No major spoilers though I want to see how secretive everyone is #Writingcommunity #writersblock #indieauthor #selfpublishing #writers #Writing

A nice gentleman from Austria bought my book and sent this update. Had to share. 🙂 What a thrill! I don’t think I’d get used to this kind of thing if I lived to 200 and sold a million copies.

I always find these late! 🫤 Ohh well. I'm Troy, and I recently released my debut novel, Odyssey of the Twins, a coming-of age fantasy tale about young brothers. Books two and three are in the works, continuing their adventures. I can't wait to share them! Maybe I'll post a sneak peek soon...

I sold a book in Germany!!! 😀 (And another one in the U.S., which is also cool, but I'm really excited about the one overseas!) Being an indie author is wild...months without a sale, starting to get discouraged, then someone in another country buys your book. Some low lows, but also high highs!

Okay fellow authors, it's story time. Around 30 years ago, when I was in college, I went to a book signing for a local author. The author was a local football player, Reggie Rivers, who had developed a nice career as a local sportscaster and commentator. #Booksky #Authorsky
