Me: tries to be chill
Also me: LOOK AT THESE 5-STAR REVIEWS 😭💖

Thank you to everyone who’s been reading & reviewing. You make my little author heart explode.

These reviews are for Braidy von Althuis 3 - 5 and Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage

#booksky #readersofbluesky #indiebooks

Screenshot of an Amazon 5-star review by Kristen for Braidy von Althuis and the Dastardly Djinn titled A family of weirdos, praising the Braidy von Althuis books as relatable, heartfelt, and suitable for all ages.

Screenshot of a long 5-star Amazon review by Kristen for Braidy von Althuis and the Changeling Children, saying they binged the Braidy series in one day, praising the characters, stakes, and fun energy, and calling the kids “absolute disobedient gremlins.”

Screenshot of an Amazon 5-star review by Kristen for Braidy von Althuis and the Final Fight. The review laments that the series is over, wishing for more, and praising how plot threads paid off.

Screenshot of a 5-star Amazon review by Kristen for Court of Snakes: This Desert Cage praising another book for its worldbuilding, political intrigue, tarot magic system, and themes of coming of age.

Sometimes, it just feels right. I'm 75% of the way funded and would be stunned if we got this thing to 100% in 72 hours!

Meet Bo, everyone 🐷
He’s making his debut in Heaven’s Equal Vol. 2 and already causing trouble (as all good himbos do).

He’s loyal, loud, and way too brave for someone with zero impulse control.

Character sheet for Bo (Pigsy) from Heaven’s Equal. Shows front, side, and back poses of a broad, pig-eared man in a police uniform, multiple expressive faces, and his signature nine-pronged rake weapon glowing gold.

Heaven's Equal Chapter 10 is now live on Tapas and Webtoon!

Read the whole comic here: www.tychodorian.com/art/heavens-...

#sunwukong #journeytothewest #comics

Comic panel showing two characters speaking to an officer at a desk. Dialogue reveals that the woman’s stepfather drowned her father, and her mother has been trapped at home for years.

Continuation of the same scene — the woman and Sun Wukong stand at the desk while the officer hands them a form, saying, “Fill this out, including the date of the crime and names of witnesses.”

Comic panel showing the woman holding paperwork and asking when an investigation will begin. The officer, chewing gum, replies that processing will take time before assigning an officer to the case.

Publishing advice is always like:
“Write every day, post on TikTok, query 400 agents, market your book, also don’t burn out.”
