Any recommended writers sharing advice on YouTube to follow? So far I find Kieren Westwood youtube.com/@kierenwestw... and Book Fox youtube.com/@bookfox?si=... inspirational.

How do you balance time between writing your next book and posting/reading social media? It feels like a full time effort to do both.

One of my favorite moments from HBO's Six Feet Under. Any fans of the series?

I'm reading an excerpt from my upcoming novella at an open mic event. Interestingly, the story is a rural fantasy that takes place in the very same town where the event is taking place.

Thoughts about a solo podcast where I read excerpts from my novella and then talk about a topic relating to it? Has anyone done something similar?

Any writers not bound by genre? My novella Digital Decadence is sci-fi and mystery. The next book I am writing is suburban fantasy. Thoughts on this approach where the story decides which category it belongs to? I can see it being an issue when marketing it.

My upcoming book started out as a speculative fiction idea based on my career. Has anyone tried this where real life is the jumping point into a fictional story?

A few days early for the newest book trailer. Havocrest isn’t a glitch or a ghost—she’s watching, bending VR20 to her will, and she’s only getting started. Coming March 20th!
