Dal is a thief who keeps getting caught up in adventures. It’s lucky for everyone else that he’s a good man at heart.

Since Thangs is now offering 3D prints along with designs to download, I’m getting my account there back up. I’ll try to post a link once I have more of my designs up.

The Jake Bonner series is witty space opera about a smart guy solving sometimes daft problems.

So, if you’re not writing but doing publishing work instead, don’t be hard on yourself, okay?

Robert Collins @robertcollins.bsky.social · 3d

I haven’t been writing much this week. I’ve been doing publishing stuff, and the creating promo images and videos for all that. But that’s still important work for an indie author. It’s all the more important the more books you have out.

We're in the first week of sales. @kiricallaghan.com's book, A Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic & Murder, is a modern day Sherlock Holmes with sapphic, magic, and fey in a solarpunk world.

Spread the word. This is a great time to check out a book and get an amazing author on the NYT Best Sellers list.

Book cover with the title and author listed. The Hearth Witch's Guide to Magic & Murder by Kiri Callaghan.
