I'm both of these readers...
I especially "treat reality as a temporary inconvenience" and "ask questions nobody prepared for" 😁

My reader Reader Threat Level score would be is 8/10 🤔 That sounds surprisingly right to me 😂

P.S If you know where these are from let me know so I can add credit.

Well, it seems the 'Yes' vote for an audiobook version won by a slight margin 😁

Which I completely understand, I wouldn't want to listen to me either 😂

Question, would anyone be interested in an Audiobook version of The Last Philosopher read by me? 😁

I'm trying to decide what to work on next...

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.

First you have to force feed them some propaganda like "the strong should prey on the weak."

Post by Owl at the Library

The part of George Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and
publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from
ever having to think.

I woke up this morning ready to do #FediBookFair boosting, but there’s been so many posts, it’ll flood my feed!

Do scroll through the hashtag if interested in seeing the many #IndieAuthors and #IndiePublishers committed to the Fediverse. It’s a great eat to blow out your TBR list 😊

Text above what I assume is a painted picture of Jane Austen..

Jane Austen's works are timeless classics because she knew the real
horrors in life are having to listen to men who think they're better than
you and receiving unannounced visitors.

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.

Remembering that this poll led to The Last Philosopher with illustrations being available at my shop: https://payhip.com/NickEastIndieWriter 😁

As I was editing The Last Philosopher I realised I can add images to #ebooks 😁

I've added some examples of #drawings from my world. The question is, should I put them in the story? 🤔 And if yes how?
