Why I write a lot of 99 cent and free ebooks
I hate the term "loss leader" because to me, telling a story and getting it out to the reading public is never a loss.

The best part about selling out a box of books is that the cat gets a new hangout spot. 😄

I never thought editing my memoir would be fun, but… I’m genuinely loving it. Turns out revision is where the magic (and the chaos) lives. 😅✨

My microfiction, "Elaine," is featured in the February issue of Quotidian Bagatelle which is published on Feb. 1st. New to this adventure, I believe "Elaine" is highlighted online Feb. 25th, according to the publisher. I was paid $1.00, which I have framed. (Just kidding.) I'll post "Elaine" some time after it appears elsewhere. #quotidianbagatelle #microFiction #published #written #writers #writer #writers #writersCoffeeClub #writersOfMastodon #mastodon #authorLife #indieAuthor #author #authors #fun #storytelling #story #shortStory #shortStories #scribesAndMakers #women #character

Today is my final day of book writing, then it's off to the copyeditor and out of my hands!

It's been a true labour of love, and I'm feeling very bittersweet. How better to cross the finish line than with a coffee in this mite-y good mug by Svenja Meyer

A photo of a computer monitor with the title page of a book, entitled 'the world beneath our feet' by Frank Ashwood. In front of the monitor is my hand, holding a mug with images of many hard-bodied oribatid mites on it.

I’m done writing shallow…
In working on a new story, I realized I was getting into some heavier topics and that the book would need a content warning. For those who might be wondering, the story is set in my Musimagium world and contains unicorns, so it's very much on brand for me. But, it's a bit deeper, a bit more dramatic than what I've been writing.

Daughter of Africa is complete, and with my beautiful editor, Lauren Clarke from Creating Ink, so I think it’s time to reveal the cover. Preorders will open soon, but I’m still hoping for March as the release date…. if my body behaves itself! So… revisit Peta, Joss, Mitch from Child of Africa, and introducing Marissa as they form a new alliance…

ATM, I'm keeping informed.

Later, I'll help inform others (the number of people who are willfully ignorant of actual facts and want to get them from someone on TikTok--don't get me started!).

I haven't got the spoons to do *much* in the winter . . .

I'm working on an alt history story that's near future political.

Oh, and I'm renewing my CCP.
