The Summer 2025 edition of Fungi Magazine is out! It's not shown on the main site yet ( www.fungimag.com ), but it has articles on conservation and fungi. It also has"Taking a Deep Dive into Mushroom Ketchup" by... me! An excellent way to top off your summer reading :-) #fungifriends #mycology 🍄

I think a lot about the ending before I even start outlining - how to resolve the main story arcs and main message. But abrupt is bad, so I also ponder a denouement that encourages readers to daydream the story going on from there - leaving another gate open (or at least slightly ajar).
Take a moment! They're free!
Heads up! The European Accessibility Act requires e-books sold in the EU to comply with accessibility standards (implicitly, WCAG 2.1 Level AA) by June 28th. The standard includes image description, navigation options, etc. E-books may need upgrades to continue EU sales. #indieauthor 💙📚 📝 ✍️
It happens to me every time. I have a cool place to start and then, yeah - the story has to start earlier to cover the necessary backstory while staying in 'show' mode. It does give me some motivation to write forward to the cool point, then hopefully momentum kicks in.
If you have a library card for the Greater Victoria Public Library you can now check out the paperback or e-book version of my novel Merika in the Emerging Authors collection. #booksky #Victoria #indieauthor
