Never forget. In memory of my good friend Bill, who educated high school students about HIV and came out courageously as a gay man living with HIV in the early 90s. ❤️
So when are those 9% of New Yorkers leaving? 🫢

It’s Release Day for my rebooted Werecat saga. The original series came out all the way back in 2013, and I spent the past year updating the story and reformatting (including cover art). Here’s the retailer link: books2read.com/u/mZD0yR 😊
I’m happy to be an indie author, but I do kinda loathe the business side of it. So, with that said, I’m congratulating myself today for pushing through getting two upcoming titles up on KDP & D2D. I only cursed out loud three times during the process.
The TL is bleak but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, donated her Tesla to @npr

I just figured out how to get images showing again on my website and I’m on my knees kissing the ground like a shipwreck survivor. #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writers #lgbtauthors
Yeah, that’s my hope. And beyond my disgust w/Zuckerburg, the platform has become so saturated with ads and suggested content, it’s no longer such a great place to keep up with actual ppl.
Thanks Susanna. That’s a tough one. I never got on IG, but I know a lot of authors love it. We do the best we can.
So this is the compromise I think I can live with, ethically. I’m quitting FB socially and will connect w/friends/contacts elsewhere, and keeping my author page bc it seems like a necessary evil to keep up w/readers. Thoughts? #writingcommunity #indieauthors
All week, I’ve had this urge to insert into conversation: “Oh yeah? Fuck around and find out.” Y’know, just for kicks. But the thing is, it doesn’t come into context as often as you might think.

I’m sure like most of you, I don’t have tons of money to spend on advertising, or culling a mailing list, but I’d appreciate suggestions for the new year. Thanks!
I did okay with some Bookbub new releases for less and once scored a featured deal that worked well. And I’ve done some promos with Written Word media and others that gave a short term boost.
I’ve done ads on Amazon, Facebook and Bookbub (to a much lesser extent. I’ve never done better than break even with Amazon (and mostly lost $). Facebook was pretty much a mystery to me and I don’t have a great author profile there.
Hey Folks! Recently joined bsky (ditching that place that shall noX be named). I’m a hybrid author, and would love to connect with indies here. Mainly re best marketing practices. I’ll share my story below, but here’s the question always on my mind: What marketing strategies work best for you?
Not exactly Instagram ready, but here’s the Buche de Noel I made this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my old and new friends here!

Some of us were busy migrating from the X shithole (and getting used to the platform). I’m here for it now!
I’m officially out of X. Felt so good to deactivate my account.
Thanks Robert. I think I’m going to like it here.
