Why did @balanceofseven move from Texas?

This move was made to better protect the #authors, editors, and the work of thepress. The legal fees related to this move exceeded $6k, which is a lot for a small press to absorb. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, helps to offset this cost and to support the press's ongoing efforts to put out #diversebooks. Thanks! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/unleashing-magical-worlds/x/34471287#/

Just got an amazing review for Dropnauts from Margaret McGaffey Fisk at Tales to Tide You Over:

"A lovely story about times of change and the haunting past... a grand scale story with a bunch of cultures and ideals coming together in a difficult, but necessary, chaos whether a matter of circumstance or design." Margaret McGaffey Fisk, Author

Thank you so much, Margaret. I am NOT crying.

I Am Brown is a celebration of people with brown skin. The illustrations depict unique children with variations of hair types, skin tones, ethnicities, homes, religions, hobbies, and interests. I liked the global aspects mentioned, such as the naming of specific foods and clothes. There are also powerful “I am” affirmations with a focus on amazing accomplishments. This is a feel-good book with joyful artwork. #kidlit #bookreview #picturebook #childrensbooks #diversebooks #diversekidlit

Last night's dream had me thinking about how it could fit into my fantasy world I've created and just like that I have 1000 words on a new project featuring a mid-life transmasc hero forced to walk way from the person he loved to save the world. Because everyone needs more writing projects, am I right?

When your book is described as "unique", you never know if it's good or bad. In this case, I think I'm doing alright?

Have you read it yet? If so, drop a review on Amazon. I might share it on social media.
