I was having one of those existential crisis/impostor syndrome moments yesterday so I decided to watch a review of one of my books. The fact the reviewer said they were glad it was a series because he didn't want it to end just yet due to his attachment to the characters is enough to continue 🥹

I'm currently drafting a dystopian horror fantasy that has a lot of Lovecraftian monsters lurking a maze, waiting to tear the FMC bit by bit. #HorrorWritersChat

By the third day of spring, the garden had started asking for names. I gave it the names of all who have wronged it. Who took from it without asking and never gave anything back. Only then would it heal, and so would I. #HorrorWritersChat

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

Folks, I'm burnt out from social media. I used to be SO productive back when times were simple. But now I'm fighting algorithms, and other social media savvy authors, being forced to become a content creator for my books in the tiniest hopes that someone might buy them... I'm exhausted 😩 🫩

Enter the maze. Face eldritch horror. Die. Memory rinsed. Repeat. This is what Maeve Veros must do in order to be reunited with her family. Each death cuts at her life force & she's running out of time. The Gods aren't done playing, though & their time is infinite. #QuestPit #W #A #F #H #LGBT

I have social anxiety. Paired with a low self-esteem, it's a wonder I ever go out to events. But I do, even though my head fills with bad thoughts, that no one wants me there, that people find I'm boring, fat, ugly or a nuisance. I still go, hoping I'll connect with someone, who sees me.

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag. #QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

Made from non-AI free stock images.

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom

Title: Pitch
Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him.

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.
