Hello @bookstodon
I'd like to introduce a book I helped #selfpublish for my lovely mother.

Hooper's Junction is a magical realism fantasy series about Dr. Martha Hooper who posses an uncanny ability to delve into people's past lives.

I'm not a publisher, editor, graphic designer or web designer but I did the best I could do for her.

What do you think about the cover? I like a traditional old school look, but not sure what people will think.

And here are the contents pages for the Atlas

I find it a little frustrating that readers of my books on Kindle Unlimited, seldom leave a review.

They read the whole book so they must have (at least) liked it.

As every #indieauthor will confirm, reviews are everything to us!

I'm proud of my books, and I have great beta readers, but I really wish I could afford a professional editor. I know they could be better.

Just deactivated my Twitter account.
My purpose was always to connect with other writers but I've got way more interaction here. Plus none of the adverts or toxicity.
This place feels more like home.

Given away three of my author copies (signed obviously) to my supporters, a small thank you for their encouragement and interest.

Some lovely comments coming back from folk who've bought copies and got in touch. It means I can start breathing again!!

Writing a #psychologicalthriller was out of my comfort zone.
