My 9th year as an indie published author has been one of my best. From book sales to social media growth to even trying new things within writing. This new video lays out my experiences with a hope to help others youtube.com/watch?v=P0JKT7…

Just finished Stephen Black 's The Famine Witch. If you like historical gothic horror you should read this book. If you don't, still read it, it's very good. The atmosphere is immersive and the story is gripping. The characters are worth investing in. All-round really enjoyed it.

Does it say something when you get more views for reviewing someone else's book than talking about your own? This is why authors need people to review their work... That said, please read and review my book, Carpentry in the Elven Forest (books2read.com/u/mdvY2w), because:

Buy my book, it's funny, you will at least chuckle. There is a talking badger, a carpenter, a half elf, and a supporting cast of elves, orcs, goblins, and trolls... Oh and two godlike siblings. books2read.com/u/mdvY2w #selfpublishing #fantasybooks #BooksWorthReading

It's Sunday which means its video day! It's also high time for some more indie authors to air their minor grievances with the world, as Alex helps them make more things Begone! This time with 𓂀 𝔸𝕝𝕖𝕩 𓂀, Steven McKinnon and Willow Woods. youtu.be/kCtZeW0-GyE

Really enjoyed doing this. Met some brilliant authors as well.

UK writers, you won't regret getting along to this, it will be worth its weight in 24 carat!

There's lots of lovely people behind this event for #indieauthors and #indiebook fans happening in #Shrewsbury in May - the best thing? It's completely FREE to attend. But we can only make things like this happen if people shout about it, so please share and help spread the word!

This is one of my cats. He is called Roarshack, deliberate misspelling. He wants you all to look at his face and say what you see... Like a true Rorschach test. Then buy my book! Carpentry In The Elven Forest. books2read.com/u/mdvY2w #BookTwitter #FantasyBooks

Interrogate? Not sure if I should reply with "Bring it on beardy" or "Be gentle kind sir!" Let's go with Bring it on and regret it later 🤣

Soon, Spotlight Indie will be taken over by the Beardsmen. Little do they know they are but puppets, puppets I tell you Ha ha ha haaaa!! Step one, take over Spotlight and the Beardsmen; step 2, the world; step 3... sell a book! Victory is mine!!

HELP US SPREAD THE LOVE! We can't wait to welcome you on 23rd May for a day of writing talk, book chat and all-round good vibes. Keeping these events free and accessible is really important to us, but we need your support to do that. So, please spread the word! #WritingCommunity

Had the audacity to finally replace my sofa this week. 24 hours later and the head gasket's gone on the car and the cat's suddenly decided she needs to go for the vet-visit hat trick this month. Please buy my books. I'm very poor and they're quite good. tinyurl.com/c2y8tr9j
