Real talk: I am SO burnt out on promo. I know it's spooky season, I know that I was excited to promote skeleton things again.

But I am tired, Gandalf. 🫠

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson - I'm still in awe of the excellent pacing, the balancing of a ton of characters, and the combination of Competition meets Murder Mystery that worked SO WELL.

I'm shoving it at all of my writer's group for them to read asap

this is especially true for indies for whom things like sending free physical copies - ARCs or otherwise - is very cost prohibitive so if you own those books, it helps to show them off

Word of mouth is important to a book's success. So, if you'd like to see the authors who wrote your favourite stories commissioned to write more, please keep talking about all the #books you love.

I would add that this is especially true for indie authors who are often working full time on top of writing. 😅

Romance readers AND publishers need to stop expecting authors to publish a book a year, *especially* if the publisher is not providing a livable advance bsky.app/profile/rach...

I received a very AI written review after someone requested the book from an ARC site. It was very frustrating, particularly because the summary didn’t even correlate with the book properly

Yeah! He tweeted wanting a copy of goldeneye and some controllers and I was the first to respond with a photo 😂 he sent me this with both his and Billy’s signature. Sean and John Rhys Davies signed it later at a convention.

I even have a signed DVD of The Lord of the Rings because I traded some n64 controllers and a game with Dominic Monaghan over Twitter 😂

How about 90% of my friend group? Or perhaps even how I learned to network, how to do my own marketing and my entire writing career.

You have to be smart about it but social media can bring about some really incredible things.

Writing mornings look like this.
Cozy low light vibes, giant cup of green tea, a notebook for journaling, and a laptop in wait.
The author, a mid-30s white woman, sits at her desk with a notebook in hand. In front of her rests an open laptop, and off to the side is a blue mug. It is early morning.

What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

Reading recommendation for all the #Critters who are enjoying CR4!

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
Very similar opening concept, excellent characters, fantastic twists, and I need it to blow up significantly so that we get the full story ☺️ I think you’ll love it! #bookrec
