So much fun to watch Draft2Digital do it's thing. My ebook going up for preorder on multiple sites. What a great age for indies! Oh, and I have to add, don't think you have to know it all to go indie. It's one step at a time. #writingcommunity #indieauthor #selfpub

For this #womeninhorrormonth, or #WiHM, a reminder that I have 4 books of my own out, as well as anthologies (with a lot of women authors in them) co-edited with Ai Jiang and Willow Dawn Becker. 27 audio pieces: christinogle.com/audio-fiction/ Other work here: christinogle.com/allpublicati...

I made a starter pack! ☺️ If you are new on @bsky.app and want to follow some empowering voices for democracy and awesomeness, I recommend these fine folk. go.bsky.app/SSQC7NN

Next week, advance copies will be available! Here's a little cover peak of my debut fiction: The Binding. An alternate history set in an America where the colonists never made it West of the Appalachian Mtns. #writingcommunity #debutfiction #dystopian #althist #indieauthor

Just experimented using BookFunnel to send an ARC to myself. It worked as slick as advertised! When I opened the link I was able to choose which reading device I wanted it downloaded to. Pretty cool. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

A spectacular 300-year-old live oak in Savannah, Georgia. One of the few they didn't cut down for ship building. #mothertree #trees

After eight years of work, The Garden Witch is finally here! #Fantasy #Romance #NatureWitchCovens

One of my buds!

What say you, Bluesky writers and editors, italics for foreign words in English manuscript? I thought the trend was to NOT italicize. My novel is set in a reality where these words would be known... #writingadvice #writingcommunity #editinghelp

This sounds useful and fun!

My new book, mostly formatted, and being tested on my Kobo. So darn much to learn!

Still keeping a secret. #cats

Now through March 14: 25% off at the Tertulia online bookstore. tertulia.com/book/down-in... Backing off the promo until March (but I will probably reskeet this later today/night)

Formatting my novel in MS Word and just discovered the "widows and orphans control" setting. So handy!! #writingcommunity #bookformatting

Loved this author's first book! Can't wait for this one!

A friend and author colleague is part of this new business. They have a super limited time offer for just a couple of authors. Do check it out! Email is on the image. I've seen some of their work and it seems top notch! #writingcommunity

Women over 50, get your bone density scan! Despite tracking mine, eating right, being fit, supplements etc, I'm, at 63, in osteoporosis. So discouraging. But maybe not too late. #osteoporosis #womenshealth

The great thing about being a writer is even the most boring or annoying conversation is fodder for new characters. So if you see me listening raptly, it might not mean what you think. Hehe. #writingcommunity

Love the first book in the series!

Rather than character-driven, I'm starting to think that "literary" writing might best be described as stories with a high degree of interiority. Thoughts? #writingcommunity #literaryfiction

Support indie publishers!

Manuscript back from an amazing copy editor. Thank the gods for skilled eyes keeping me from looking bad! #writingcommunity #indiepublishing

This event looks like a winner
