Audrey Martin ⚔️📚🌈 @audreywrites.bsky.social · Oct 22

Time for a little introduction ✨️
A Searing Faith, my debut, follows Rena as she tries to find out what happened to her hometown

🔥 first in series
🔥 epic fantasy & mystery
🔥 a hint of steampunk
🔥 found family
🔥 dealing with loss & trauma
🔥 queer-normative world
🔥 low (to no) magic
🔥 soft female MC

Photo of a copy of A Searing Faith by Audrey Martin lying on a wooden table. The cover shows an illustration of a young girl with long, brown hair looking towards the left, wearing a beige dress and a green vest and holding a carved wooden bird figurine. The background is dark blue with stylised red to pink flames and dead tree branches.

I'll add them to the pile of audio books then 👀 I also decided that I finally wanna get through all the Percy Jackson books (and relating universe) now that I work in a primary school so my pile is very big right now 😂

Audrey Martin ⚔️📚🌈 @audreywrites.bsky.social · 1d

Which is like double the amount of books I got through per month in previous years.

If we're talking /reading/ reading though, I've gotten through 1 in like 6 weeks lmao. Bless audio books for existing (wish more indie books could afford to have audio books but I know it's financially unrealistic)

At the beginning of the school year the 2 people who'd helped out at the library before were mostly reassigned to other parts of the school which means I now kinda have to do the job of 3 ppl but also I've never had this much time to get through audiobooks before 👀 already listened to 7 this month

I'm kinda curious about starting it even though I've heard a lot of mixed things about it but it's a classic and I'm currently getting through 2 ~ 3 audiobooks a week so maybe it's worth trying it out 😅

I think I should be able to allow myself a day of nothing but playing Hades II and napping (and driving home from the con) even though I have a mountain of editing work, house hunting stuff & just regular chores to get through.
I just hope my guilt will agree with me tonight

I mean have you seen reality lately?

If Supergiant ever makes a Hades III with Macaria (super obscure and minor character in myth, Hades' daughter) as the playable character I will be so unbelievably sat. Idk how they will iterate on Hades II but I believe in them.

Went to BuCon in Dreieich again which was a lovely time with lovely people as always but last year people said they didn't read much english so I made sure to have the german version ready for this year & I sold well but it was all english 🤡

Love cons but I wish it was easier to predict them lmao

Begleite Rena & ihre neuen Freunde während sie versuchen herauszufinden, was mit Renas Heimatdorf passiert ist und ob Rena die einzige Überlebende eines tragischen Unfalls ist oder ob die mysteriösen Vogelfiguren die sie in den verbrannten Ruinen ihres Dorfes gefunden hat auf etwas anderes hindeuten

❤️‍🔥 Release Day ❤️‍🔥

Ein glühender Glaube, the german translation of the beginning of my fantasy mystery series The Heart Pyre, is out now!

Image showing the book cover of Ein glühender Glaube surrounded by words. The cover is a young girl with flowing brown hair looking over her shoulder at the viewer. In front of her are flames, the background is dark green with a full moon above the girl’s head and crows flying away. Around the cover are words describing the book such as: epic fantasy mystery, low magic, steampunk, ein süsser hund un geheimnisvoller fuchs, auseinandersetzung mit Verlust und Trauer, zusammengewürfelte gruppe von Abenteurern, alte, vergessene Götter, seltsame ritual

Picture showing six different characters and a dog sitting around a campfire in a forest laughing together

Being in a bookclub is fun because people will talk about scenes you have no recollection of and it just makes you realise how often your brain switches off when you're reading 🫠

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Would anyone be able to help me with this error on Draft2Digital?
When I upload my manuscript it's telling me it doesn't pass the EPubCheck due to an ERROR(OPF-029). Has anyone dealt with this error before? I've tried looking it up but couldn't find anything specific

#indiewriters #selfpublishing

Thank you. I'll try to look into what they mention in the replies but i'm not sure it'll help me :/ the string of numbers d2d gives me as file names is definitely not from my files so somewhere along the way Atticus or D2D renamed the files to that and might have done something else to them ???

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

And maybe it wouldn't be if I was a better organised person but here we are ...
Also a big blind spot I've had about publishing a translation is all the stuff besides the story that also have to be translated 😬 like the goddamn map ☠️
