*clears throat* Buy my books. I’m broke, job hunting and I promise to publish more and buy more if I make more money (plus my books are like rly rly cheap) πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ

As someone who went from having fuck all followers on IG to having so many it's literally my biggest platform, here's my insight. 1) Make short reels (<30 seconds) to reach non-followers to build a following 2) Make posts to reach your current followers to build a community

Power of any kind has a price, but the power over life and death exacts the heaviest toll of all... Miannan has nothing of herself left to give, but when a desperate father brings her his dying little girl, she resolves to do her duty, no matter the price. www.amazon.co.uk/Duty-Other-S...

Hey all, just a heads up, my fantasy short story about a magical healer 'Duty' is currently free on the 'zon. There's some other stuff in there too, but Duty is what I'm particularly proud of. www.amazon.com/Duty-Other-S...

I'm happy to say that my pre-order for Soul Guardian is finally live! If you like cozy fantasy, Good Omens (Pratchett, not Gaiman), and a bit of romance, check it out! Soul Guardian is about a little girl that summons a demon to open a jar of tomato sauce. #booksky #books #cozy #fantasy #romance

Solo Leveling has its flaws, but goddamn if it doesn't have a vice like grip on the part of my brain that made ten year old me scream and jump around the living room the first time Goku went Super Saiyan. Every single episode has at least one moment that would have had child me climbing the walls.

3.2k words on Voidborn written this weekend, including Malan and Tarai finally meeting, and some cool system stuff. Added to that is 2 paid Patreon sign ups this week (now up to Β£30!!?!), and it finally feels like I'm moving forward again instead of back.

Today's #Writing Soundtrack: Hammer's of Misfortune - The August Engine 10/10 #heavymetal record, no notes. "I must say I'm impressed, Such cruelty in a jest, The depth of your malevolence--the fools would never guess." www.youtube.com/watch?v=i54u...

Wow. Runebound just passed 400 followers on #RoyalRoad. I'm at a loss for words at the hundreds of people reading and enjoying what I #amwriting. When I first set out on this journey I just wanted to write. I still do, but knowing that some folks love it is even more motivating. Cheers πŸ₯‚

1500 words again today, and I'm really starting to feel the consistency coming back. Of course, I am also back to teaching tomorrow, which is a nuclear bomb sized spanner in the works πŸ˜…

Literally anything but writing πŸ˜…

Chapter 26 of Runebound: Rise of the Paladin has been posted to #RoyalRoad. This one was one of my favorite chapters to write so far and I can't wait for you to check it out. 🐢 Thank you for the reviews! #progressionfantasy #webnovel

The Fires of Heaven done. I have weird feelings about this book. On the one hand, the whole Cairhien sequence is fantastic from every POV, the Aiel, as ever, are a delight, and Mat solidifies himself as best boy. On the other, the climax ends with maybe my least favourite trope ever, and I hate it.
