Gratitoot!

Since I started my own shop at payhip to sell my #eBooks more directly I've now sold ELEVEN! 😊

I'd like to name and commend the buyers but I don't think I should put their emails online 😜

The first 3 were Australians, but with the latest being Finnish we now have a 3-way-tie for second!

Score so far 😁
Aussies: 3
Dutch: 2
US: 2
Finn: 2
Czech:1
UK: 1

I'm not sure if I've posted this before but I thought if someone wants to ask me questions about what this quote "really" means, I'll try to answer 😁

If you want children to read more, the best way is to read more yourself 😊

A lady came into the library yesterday and asked if we had a particular book. I helped her find it and she was super happy. Her grandson is 12 and lives a plane ride away so she has started reading whatever book he's reading and then they have a weekly FaceTime where they discuss it. I just thought that
was such a nice way to stay connected to a kid who lives far away.

25 hours (and 15 minutes ;) ) left to get a bundle of all my books via Itch.
Own the file and binge read on two series, a standalone, and a short story collection.

Three screenshots from the Lord of the Rings movies
Frodo: Here Gandalf, you take the ring
Gandalf: Fuck it, why not?
Later: Its a dark time. Hobbits rule Middle-Earth. The kingdoms of man are forced to work in vast pipewseed farms. The Elves research day and night to increase the potency of the plant. Dark Lord Gandalf has not been even remotely sober in over 1000 years.

The real question is an Eternal Conflict necessarily the same thing as the First Conflict 🤔😁

I was feeling hormonal yesterday and crying a little.

My 3 year old daughter: Mama, are you sad?
Me: Yes, baby, but it'll be okay.
Her: Do you want to go to the library? It'll be okay at the library.

We did not have time to go to the library. But to know that my daughter considers that the place where everything gets better makes me so happy.

A paperback proof copy of my book, Rise of Iron. The book is set on a wooden bookshelf. The cover features a young woman facing away from the viewer. Her body appears to be made of stone, with silvery iron veins racing across her body. Her hair is coming undone in a breeze. In her right hand she's holding a pickaxe, while her left is touching stone.
