A bit of a sale for my college coming-of-age novel The Miracle Girl between now and Thanksgiving. #Booksky shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...
My contemporary fiction novel The Miracle Girl is now available on Audible! The narrator has acting experience, and it really shows in the level of quality. Give it a listen if you have an extra credit. #booksky #audiobooks #contemporaryfiction #mentalhealth www.audible.com/pd/The-Mirac...
Okay, we've had a few months to mourn the Trump election. It's time to look in the mirror. America hated the candidate we fielded so badly that she lost to a literal felon. On that front WE failed the assignment. A strategy of "do the same but HARDER" isn't going to move the needle.
I'm giving away a few ebook copies of The Miracle Girl. If you end up with one, leaving an honest Amazon review would be incredibly helpful, as I don't have many ways of getting those at the moment. Thanks in advance! #booksky claims.prolificworks.com/free/F1H6yFrW

The Miracle Girl comes out May 16th! It's a coming-of-age novel with mental health themes. Intended to be a little lighter than your average mental health novel. Written by a licensed therapist. Ebook available for pre-order. #booksky #mentalhealthawarenessmonth jamesupsilonbooks.com/so/6cPR4xZQj...
I don't like analyzing the books I read too much. For me, it has a way of pulling me out of the experience. #booksky
I don't understand people who only read one genre. It's like looking at all the varieties of fruit in the world and deciding you only ever want to eat blueberries. I mean, blueberries are great and all, but doesn't it get a bit old after awhile? #booksky
"She was immediately wary. There was nothing quite so suspicious as the Manifestation of All Evil wanting to forge a contract with you." I feel like this should be a more common sentiment. #booksky
My children's chapter book, The Furry Book of Nonsense, is out now on Amazon! It's about a beaver who convinces everyone he's a library book and is filled to the brim with utter nonsense. #booksky www.amazon.com/dp/B0DY58JHBK
Ever wondered what Winnie the Pooh plus Alice in Wonderland would look like? I have a middle grade fiction book dropping in a few days that's exactly that. Check it out: #booksky www.jamesupsilonbooks.com/post/introdu...
Can a book be about love without a strong romance component? I think so. #booksky
Just finished Alloy of Law (Mistborn 4). I have to wonder: How is it possible for Wax to do all this sleuthing, sharpshooting, evasive maneuvers, etc. on no sleep? The last third of the book is a straight shot of about two days, and the book implies a sleepless the night before that as well. 💙📚
Exactly! It takes a lot more work, but it's worth it on so many levels. Bluesky has been a lot better on that front, at least so far, and I don't want to see that changing.
I've noticed(to my untrained eye), an uptick in the number of authors/editors/cover self-promoting on #booksky lately.
Here's why I don't think that's a good thing for anyone, and how we can do better:

Third Earth in the Pendragon series. You could make an argument for Scythe by Neil Shusterman. Those are the main examples I can think of. It's not as common as it ought to be, I think.
I think dystopian books have a place, but I prefer ones that give us a vision of what this world can be if we all do our best with it. #booksky
I know, right?
Does anyone on here read middle grade fiction as adults? It's kind of nice to go for something light and funny sometimes, you know? 💙📚
I'm writing quite a lot of books at the moment Here's a rundown of all the projects I'm working on right now #booksky

I always thought of myself as a one writing project at a time sort of person, but here I am with four separate books (all in different genres) at various levels of completion. #booksky #writingcommunity
Just casually writing an actual book based on a short story I wrote as a twelve-year-old #booksky
So apparently there's evidence of the Indonesian government bombing civilians and people armed with literal bows and arrows in West Papua. Anyone else heard of this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=65_D...
Let's say we actually develop a technology that previous writers have fantasized about. Does that mean their work isn't science fiction anymore? #booksky
I enjoy books where the MC and antagonist have a lot more interaction than just trying to punch each other's lights out. #booksky
Have you found success doing that, or do you think it has hindered your sales?
Exactly!
I wouldn't go so far as to say "should" because I do think for some people it's worth it to adapt a little to make writing a sustainable source of income, but for me I've decided that it's most important to have a product I can stand behind, even if that means I can't go full time.
There's no way I'm not going to end up writing in an extremely wide variety of genres. I know that's not ideal from a branding perspective, but if I don't write what's interesting to me my books will be lackluster and I think that's worse. #writingcommunity 💙📚
We need people who are willing to put the united back in United States.
