If you wish to nominate Kotov Syndrome or Woodpusher for awards (since Opus isn't out yet), please allow me to use this graphic I made last year again

S. Morgan Burbank @anotherindiewriter.com · 20d

I don't know that my books will win awards. But I would like to bait you into nominating me. So I have prepared award bait. It's masterfully prepared. Please take the bait. Nominate Woodpusher for the Indie Ink Awards. Make this master baiting worth my time.

indiestorygeek.com/story/4958

Handwritten yellow text reading "award bait graphic" with yellow font reading "Nominate Woodpusher for an award before someone else does" beneath it. All of this is over a background that fades from blue to black from right to left. The cover of Woodpusher by S. Morgan Burbank is in the upper right corner, featuring a pale skinned woman with her hair in an orange bandana staring through broken glass.

Yes. The rumors are true. There's an on page cat in Opus. He's a good cat. You should preorder for him.

I've been talking a lot about my coming novella, but what if you want sci-fi? You can get both currently out books from the Azaes Realm series on Itch for a devilishly good price for their Halloween sale. It's spooktacular!

Kotov Syndrome features a dark haired android with glowing eyes staring through the dark. Woodpusher features a pale brown haired woman staring through broken glass.

Happy Halloween! 🧡🖤

#art #illustration

Illustration of a ghost and a black cat walking down a street on Halloween night. The houses are all decorated, bats and ghosts in the windows, jack-o-lanterns outside, a giant skeleton looms in the background. The ghost wears a witch hat and carries a plastic jack o-lantern bucket that glows, and the cat wears a little orange ribbon.

My books are free today!!! (And tomorrow although the event is just for today). If you want a Halloween read before October finishes up, might I interest you in The First Bite's Bitter? If you want a variety of monster romances, I suggest following the link in the second pic for lots of free books.

Happy with how my decorations turned out, I loved painting these. :)

Two carved, decorative jack o' lanterns with big, toothy grins with a vintage style, wooden black cat decoration and a black candle in a glass holder in the middle.

Halloween decorations around and on top of a closed record player. Painted, ceramic pumpkins (orange with bats, black with gold polka dots, and yellow with black and gold stars). Small ghost figures (one purple, one white, and one with red paint like blood splatters). And two vintage styled wooden block decorations (a ghost with a black and orange party hat, and a grinning candy corn creature with striped legs, which is sitting on one of the pumpkins.)
