Had an elaborate dream about a rainbow sailing ship video I was supposed to use for promo today but… I don’t have a rainbow sailboat so here’s all you’re getting:

SHIVER ME is a sweeping, sweet pirate romance in which a pirate captain gets his governess with the help of a bunch of bi pirates.

All the protesting today was amazing but I just have to say it’s clear we’re all waiting for natural causes and it’s time for a real push to remove him from office. Not just say he’s not getting a third term. Strom lived to be 100. Evil can hang on for a long time.

“The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic.

We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

the difference between a wonderful audiobook performance by a gifted voice actor and this "digital voice" horseshit masquerading as legit audiobooks makes me steaming mad. good narration is important and deserves to be paid for!!!!!!

Vermillion @byvermillion.bsky.social · 4d

Are you looking for a romance that’s not enemies to lovers and not friends to lovers but a secret third thing: strangers who have to find common ground on a desk and against a door and in a house of ill repute?

Shiver Me might be the pirate romance for you! Get it wherever books are sold.

I know there are bigger fish to fry but what if I told you pirate romance is PERFECT for FALL! Proof below:

An image of the cover of shiver me which features a couple locked in an underwater embrace in blues and greens, they’re both white and at the mercy of the ocean. Over the top of them are overlaid a partially transparent “shiver me” and the words “pirates are best in fall” as well as a clipping from the text which reads
"I find I'm chilled to bone, Captain, even with the kindness of your coat." She eyed me, and I imagined her weighing the danger of my refusal with the chivalry I'd been so careful to display. She was right, the temperature had dropped with the sun, and it was no lazy summer night to be drawn out as darkness swallowed us.” On a white background in the lower middle of the image.

Ingram is a fucking nightmare to work with compared to Amazon tbh and they’re just as shitty a monopoly but I digress

Vermillion @byvermillion.bsky.social · 7d

That said I make almost no money on Ingram after the 55% discount part… so we’ll see maybe I’ll take that away and lower the price of the book at some point? Depending on how store sales develop or don’t
