“You smell of disappointment,” I said, leaning close enough for him to see the constellation of freckles on my shoulder, a cartography of places I wanted him to know he would never visit.

I know some people are embarrassed about promoting the release of a new book, but don't think of it as simply the product of your own mind and effort. Think about all the people at your publisher, who have invested their time and talent into producing your book. Celebrate what is a team effort.

In Judgement, ELLE4 is an 18km long, 2km diameter cylindrical habitat orbiting Earth. It spins to give the effect of gravity on its inner skin,where everyone lives. A 'sun' fusion reactor at each provides heat & light. Paradise?

#FebruaryWorldbuilders. What is the scope or size of your world, or the 'space' of the story you're writing? Does it take place on a planet? Across a galaxy? Perhaps you're only writing about one small country or even a city. Or perhaps you have many planets/worlds?

Before sitting down to write, I like to ask 3 questions;
What if?
Why?
So what?
Answer them, and I've got my story.

Every time I think I’m promoting too much, someone comes along who has no idea I have anything coming out. So those of you who are sick of me, I’m sorry. Please bear with me. I’m posting for those neglected by the algo in the hopes they’ll somehow see it. 🙂 (P.S. my new book is out in 3 days!)
