I honestly don't know what to do with these poll results. Strong bimodal distribution. Guess there are some $25 novels, and another center of gravity around $12. #amPublishing

Just got printed copies of my newly revised and #SelfPublished _A Guide to Tarot Card Meanings_ from Amazon.

You know what? Compared to the traditionally-published first editions from a commercial printer, these books are heftier, feel more substantial, look more expensive, and are superior in every way. It’s really stunning how far self-publishing platforms have come.

Just discovered that I broke the "free sample" links on my website back in, err, October, and only just now realized.

My publicist (me) is going to have a stern word with my publisher (also me).

Learned a *lot* while updating and revising two of my #SelfPublished #Tarot books for their 10th anniversary versions! #Vellum made it much easier to create beautiful #ebook and paperback editions. Everything's on #Kindle Unlimited now, paperbacks have been repriced to cost less, and I've got smarter keywords in the search system. And I’m 😍 over the new covers for the series. Have a peek!

We're live again on the Apple book store!

They won't let me raise the price of the ebook edition. Lots of ebooks are $14.99 or more, but I'm stuck at $9.99. Good for my readers, and I'm happy to provide Recovering Agency as inexpensively as possible, but prices of everything else have gone up and I don't have the freedom to give myself a raise here. Miffed and betrayed. I knew Amazon was going to get terrible to authors, but it still sucks. #AmPublishing

Updating the price on Recovering Agency. Sorry, Amazon is charging me more, so I have to charge you more! Also getting rid of my feminine author pic, even though it's awesome. #AmPublishing

Sometimes I forget that some of my books are available other than on Amazon. That's how well my "wide" distribution is performing. When I remember, I inevitably wonder if I should just put everything back in #KindleUnlimited.

Woot! New #Erotica short story is live on Amazon. Free this weekend (3/10-3/12)

#AmWriting #AmPublishing

Echoes of Life -- When she was hired to investigate a haunted house, she didn't expect much. But from the moment she set foot inside the mansion, she knew she was in for more than she bargained for.

Drawn by the whispers of a ghostly presence, she finds herself enveloped in an erotic encounter with a spirit from beyond the grave.

One erotic short story under review, three episodes of the serial romance schedule for publication...

I think I'm ready for the trip. #AmWriting #AmPublishing #WritingCommmunity

New episode snippet!

“Seven years ago," said James, "when I was twenty-eight, I left my family in Bangladesh and moved to Malaysia, hoping for a better life. Everyone is poor in Bangladesh. People die every day from disease, starvation, typhoons, and the police. There is no work, and the land cannot feed us.”
