If you're a fantasy fan looking for a new universe to explore "Across A Trackless Plain" is a collection of side quest stories I have written which will be free all week on Amazon

It has monsters, motherhood, mercenaries, carnivores, and much more

Two months ago I had my best ever month for pages read and sales.
Last month I had a step decline.
December is a complete failure to launch.

Here are links to my collections.

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

This year I spent a lot of time meditating to Walking Across Jupiter, and listening to "Language" by NMA which is the theme song for a novel I'm working on

A reminder that I'm really keen to find a writer of fantasy working in French whose work I can translate into English - there are specific journals looking for this, and I would love to collaborate

Re indie marketing scams: if someone is asking you if they can review your book, they want money for it

if they really loved it, they'd be posting about it without your permission

Does anyone here read new speculative fiction originally written in French? I have a hankering to work on my French, and maybe also play at translating!

Some books I've read recently and enjoyed:

Delicious Hunger on @tiltedaxispress.bsky.social
Empire of the Summer Moon by SC Gwynne

And a recommendation for Stargazey Pie @victoriagoddard.bsky.social which was a neat little mystery of manners on top of an elegant piece of fantasy world building

Some observations about "marketing" as practiced by one novice.

I've tried bookbub ads, social media engagement both indirect (like this) and more direct (links and offers in Discord)
I reckon I make a pretty engaging podcast guest
I'm relatively widely published for a self-publishing novelist
