Quick beta reader truth:
If your chapter feels off, it’s usually not because it’s bad…
It's because something important is missing.
Most times?
It’s the emotion or the reason behind a character’s choice.
Fix that, and everything starts to click.

A composite of four book promos: RAVEN (science fiction), Home Front (historical non-fiction), in a bottle of ink (Japanese short-form poetry), and Behind the Mask (mystery).
It's WORLD BOOK DAY! A reminder that you can order most of my books from local indie and chain bookstores, and from online book sellers.
📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖
An update coming soon for my latest release! 🎉 So excited. 😁

When the #manuscript has been edited and edited and edited again, laid out, cover art done, sent to the publisher, and you're just waiting for the ISBN number to upload...(drumming fingers on the tabletop)...

It's very odd getting a message from Kindle telling me that I should look out for a book I might like by an author I follow...and finding out it's me... It looks good, though, doesn't it? #blueskyauthor #indieauthor #lgbtq #

Book cover for "in a bottle of ink." The front is deep purple with a simple line drawing of a feather quill in an ink bottle.
Book cover of "strawberry moon." Deep maroon with a simple line drawing of a strawberry.
Book cover of "Three Minutes of my Time" with a portrait of me in front of a vibrant painting by Andy Taylor.
Excited that last year had me writing again. It was a long dry spell. I have two new books coming in the next few months. One, a companion to 'in a bottle of ink' - Japanese short-form poetry - published in 2020. The other, a memoir (of sorts). Stay tuned for updates!

A picture of the cover of the book is on a white, red, and green background. Its rated a 2.5/5, was written by John Grisham, is 198 pages long, took 3 days to read, and is the holiday genre
Text is on a red, white, and green background that reads: Love: The nostalgia feels, the Christmas air, memories of the movie Don't Love: The main character is atrocious. The whole book is filled with misogyny, fat-phobia, colorism, and racism. The laughs and humor in the movie are absent in the book. MAJOR TRIGGER warning for disordered eating!!
Honestly, it’s closer to a 2 star but the nostalgia and movie lift it a teeny bit. Still suchhhh a hateful MC and book

I have 2 questions about the Amazon "Related to" section for book series.
-If Book A is listed in Series 1, can I also have Book A listed in the "related to" for Series 2?
-Can I list Series Z in the "related to" for Series Y? Or vice versa?
