Bounty Inc. hardcover without dust jacket. Text is removed from the front and back and shows the artwork directly.

Insides of the dust jacket for the Bounty Inc. hardcover. The left flap has the blurb, the right flap has illustrations of the Bounty Inc. team.

For me, dragons are cool in theory, but they all tend to lean into classic prose and the same old medieval setting. Which I find boring.
I know I'm in the minority.

Do you feel like a hero when you get your horrible & amazing little humans through another day? You are. So is Meghan.

She struggles with monsters, aliens, and supernatural abilities, but also sibling arguments, kid logic, and the same parenting drama we all face every day.

I'm sorta similar? I have my plot beats, then my characters are built with personalities that would lead to those events.

Should probably do my own post, but happy to show off some amazing work done by artist @kerosero.bsky.social and designer @vmcclain.bsky.social for the cover for Bounty Inc.!

Check it out more here: bountyink.com/bounty-inc-c...

Just received my first author-targeting email scam. Should I treat this as a milestone or something?

Mmm... Nope.

I wanna get my first review that smashes me right in the feels.

I'm the same—mashing ppl/characters together to create something new. Some of my characters are splintered versions of myself with particular traits cranked up a notch.

Fingers crossed Audible sorts out the mess with royalties.
Have you considered direct sales with audiobooks? I'm curious about BookFunnel's audio feature. Itch is another possibility, but that might not be as customer friendly (playback/file problems)

Looking forward to diving into it more!
