Today I'm celebrating all of Germany for whoever bought my book. I'm pretty sure that makes it a "Global Phenomenon". As far as I know, they have the only copy in the country. #ThanksGermany #SmallWorld #Viral

I've discovered that I've been thinking Serena Ryder when people say Sabrina Carpenter ... it explains so much about the last six months.

WTF!? That's a win for me! @notquitewrite.com Over the moon! I had guests and had to stop listening for a few hours. Put it on just before bed and blown away. Thank you so much!

Hey @notquitewrite.com can't you just release the podcast in Canada today? It's cold up here and we're lonely! C'mon eh? A little bonus for Canadian listeners? A little advantage of a few days, hmm? Since your podcast started, there's been less fights in hockey ... could be Ed's soothing voice ☺️

Ken's Guerilla Book Marketing tip of the day: Amazon lets you post a picture with every item you review ... that's FREE exposure on every item you buy! ( Walkers Shortbread is really good BTW) #writinglife #authortips #indybooks #writers

I know @akscotland.bsky.social and @quitewriteed.bsky.social over at @notquitewrite.com probably spend a lot of time sitting in their bathtubs full of money wondering if they are making a difference. You've definitely helped this writer. All my short stories have scored better due to your podcast.

Sometimes you wonder if a book is a "fit" for you, but then you see this review and think, "How can I go wrong? At least I can re-use the paper."

“WELCOME TO FUN WITH APOSTROPHE’S”
BEHN! The buzzer rang and the announcer exploded into a million piece’s.
BEHN! The buzzer sounded again and the author was banished to the suburbs of Brisbane to live out his life teaching English as a Second Language to people from The Gold Coast. #FuriousFiction
