I'm so proud to announce that the audiobook for Dueling Shoulder Angels, The Devil You Know - Book 2, is available on Audible and Apple music. Please show it some love and review it! It's my partner's debut narration for Amy's chapters and I think they did an amazing job!

I'll be joining Joe Compton on Go Indie Now's Sunday show, where we'll talk about writing politics! It's a topic that's pretty near to my heart, given everything that's going on. I'm sure there will be some spirited conversations! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSmN...

Big promises, little proof of concept: a look at Focus on Words/WroteByMe, which purports to be a bookselling alternative for authors and whose founder is very active on TikTok...but there are lots of concerns and questions here ashwrenwrites.substack.com/p/wrotebyme-...

You did it! Readers, friends, fans, you all helped push My Boss is the Devil over 400 ratings on Amazon! And look at that ratio! The proof is in the data, people love this book and I couldn't be prouder.

My Boss is the Devil by Ben Schenkman offers a unique take on the "Deal with the Devil" trope, but is it worth the read? The short answer? Yes. 🩵📚 #books #bookstack #booksky #reviews #urban #fantasy

Anyone want to talk up my books in their favorite reader forums? I'm always happy to provide electronic review copies for passionate readers who want to review more indie work!

I hate feeling like I'm always talking about my books, which makes me never want to talk about my books for fear of being annoying, but at the same time I want to show up on lists and groups and see people reading my books? But they'll never know about them if I don't talk/promote. Forever catch 22

This is definitely wrong. Plus it’s cowardly to dodge blowback by hiding behind anonymity

My standalone fantasy, Memories of Sorcery and Sand, is here! I'm thrilled to be able to finally put it in your hands. If you like stories in which not all is what is seems and everyone has secrets or told lies (or both), check it out at your favorite online store.🧵🔗
