It's been a while since I posted about my novel, which is available on Amazon (and soon other places). If you like a strong female detective with plenty of mental problems, give it a try! Boosts are always appreciated.
A Memory of Murder
Some people envision the future. I envision the past.
(Entschuldigung, ich eskaliere, das ist der Korrekturausdruck meines Debutromanes #Paranuit , den @ashyda gestern für die Taschenbuchausgabe fertig gesetzt hat.)
When you see writers begging you to rate and review their books there's a really good reason for it.
Positive ratings and reviews work out to be the equivalent of thousands of dollars of ad revenue.
If you love an author's book, the best way to show it is to rate and review their books.
Manchmal trifft man über Social Media Menschen, die einfach nett und hilfsbereit sind und dann steht jemand wie ich da und weiß gar nicht, wie man damit umgeht.
Dann müssen diese Menschen so introvertierte Sozialisierungschaoten wie mich auch noch stupsen, damit man Hilfe ohne schlechtes Gewissen annimmt.
Somit an dieser Stelle: Danke an @khzimmer2 ,der mich nicht aufgegeben hat und sich generell für die Schreibcommunity einsetzt :plume:
Ich bin kein Freund von Dark Romance, die in den Bereichen von Consent grau ist.
Lese gerade die Date Szene in #Schicksalsweber und ich bin froh, dass ich eine Szene geschrieben habe, in der ich zeige, wie ich denke, dass man das Erfragen von Consent spielerisch ins Flirten einbauen kann.
Sei wie Ranold: versichere dich, was dein Gegenüber möchte und höre zu.

Most writers are not experts in IT or formatting and would rather spend time writing. Self publishing is really self marketing. Traditional publishers are really marketing companies, few do their own printing, traditionally a Press. Volume paper printing is now mostly China and Eastern Europe. For small numbers of paper copies it’s best value to use Lulu or a similar Print on demand (POD) company.
Authors that want help with formatting and eBook conversion can contact Booknook.biz as we only deal with some local people face to face.
For years, I have dismissed Lulu as irrelevant. They do good work, but they're too expensive for the service they provide. I have been waiting for them to reinvent themselves or go broke.
Suddenly, they're relevant. Sell print/ebook combos direct from your web site, anyone?
I've added new content to my Gumroad store. Now you can enjoy poetry, science fiction short stories, a full length mystery novel or a full length romance.
I've republished these with new covers as the world needs brighter content. Over the next few days I'll share each one.

Genuine question for #WritersOfMastodon - with the rise of AI generated everything, is it now possible to be published by an actual publisher? I'd heard it was virtually impossible before AI but presumably they're now inundated by manuscripts that are either part or fully AI creations. I ask because I always assumed I'd write my great novel one day, but it seems vanishingly unlikely now. I have 2 brothers who's father was a successful author, although he had his foot in the door via being a reporter (who brought down Concorde and was the only person ever allowed to interview/write a book about Pablo Escobar), so was already semi-famous and had contacts. I met a published author the other week, but she's a proof-reader for Penguin books, so also has a foot in the door. I assume that if you write something you're happy with, you no longer just send it to publishers and hope they read? Interested to know if anyone has had any success with this or if everyone self-publishes now.
