Hey all, I'll be releasing a book here in about a month or two, so it's high time I start taking my social media seriously again. I'll still be doing it myself for now, but have any of you have had any luck with social media managers. Maybe even bad luck?

Well, finally bit the bullet and got X Premium. ...only to discover in the analytics that most of my recent followers are Nigerian bots. Hello, Nigerian bots. You'll be hearing more from me in the future.

I am officially looking for ARC readers for my upcoming trilogy! (Set to release Oct 10th) If any of you are interested in a free Advanced Reader Copy, let me know. The story is about virtual paradises, and reducing yourself to a brain in a jar to experience those worlds. The
