Happy #SelfPromoSaturday!

I'm a sci-fi/dystopia writer who writes sapphic and trans femme leads. I also make stickers and bookmarks. Please consider buying my stuff so I can send you neat things :D

Two stacks of books, the one of the left featuring Kotov Syndrome and the one on the right made of Woodpusher, both by S. Morgan Burbank. They are sitting on a kitchen counter. A number of stickers laid out on blue construction paper. They feature a gold star sticker, a number of weird little creatures, a drawn blue jellyfish with a small smile, a number of queer/LGBTQIA+ stickers, and a small sticker reading "certified social media safe" A pair of bookmarks on an orange bandana. The one on the left is a text bookmark made from pages of a book. The one on the right features a drawn light blue jellyfish and text reading "Here's a jellyfish to guard your book. His name is Bellamy." A bumper sticker reading "Sorry You're in Ohio". It features black text and a brush style yellow word Ohio over a dark red outline of the state of Ohio.

Apparently I'm only 1 paperback order away from 300 paperbacks sold across all my books sine 2016. Neat!

The cover of Kotov Syndrome by S. Morgan Burbank. It features a female staring at the reader, her features mostly obscured by darkness, save for her glowing eyes. The eyes are gray and appear to have red on them in a couple of plcaes. Binary code covers the whole cover of the book, adding to the obscuring of the face

Hi. I'm a semi that I rear ended because I fell asleep at the wheel. Or I'm either one of my step brothers shooting at me as a kid. Or I'm the squid ink pasta I didn't know I was allergic to until I got back to my hotel room in a foreign country alone. Or I'm...

BTW. I see mentors creating these beautiful moodboards for their mentees. And that's lovely. But uh...this is my skill.

Oh my god how this chart changed so, so wildly in 18 months.

#author #writingcommunity
A chart in Excel showing book sales from 2016 to present. The blue line, representing sales under my former author name, shows a generally slow and steady incline from June 2016 to present, capping out at 205. The orange line, shows 0 until June 2024, in which it finally rises to 6 sales in the first month, followed by a steady climb to around 150 in February 2025, then an explosion to almost 1500 in March 2025, then a second steady climb to around 2100 in December 2025

Unrelated but. After a five plus year hiatus, I’m reviving doing a follow along, poll-driven CYOA story. Albeit on my discord rather than publicly. But how about a picrew of the MC that’ll be guided through said story. Her name is Zara.

With roughly 12 hours left until release date (at least here), this is where preorders stand. 8 more will make Opus my most preordered book ever.

It has come to my attention that my countdown posts for Opus might be confusing. And you know what? Fair. If you don't know what I'm selling, you won't know what I'm selling from those countdowns.

So. Let me halp.

I woke up to being only 7 sales away from my big milestone for 2025. I'm sick and my brain isn't processing it. But thank you all. I got my first ever author blurb for Opus from @tabithawrites.itch.io. Feels worth sharing again.

Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/994d56a7cb
White text on a beige background reading "A story of self-discovery that embraces all the messiness that comes with that process, while showing that it's still 100% worth it. The protagonist's pain hits hard -- but so does their joy". The quote is then listed as being by Tabitha O'Connell, author of Structural Integrity.

Text reading "what people are saying about Opus" in a script font. There are four quote blocks beneath this, each with a picture, a name and location, and a quote. First is a frog sock puppet named Sequoia from Leipsic, OH, reading "A wonderful novella exploring gender identity and the journey to learn more about who we really are.". Next is a tiny swaddled baby named Mia from San Luis Obispo, CA, reading "I cannot read.". Next is an attractive blonde woman named Sue from Topeka, KS, reading "Before I read Opus, I felt very hopeless. But now. My business has become quite extraordinary. Love you!". Finally is a ban in a car with his hand touching his hair. His name is Kevin from Dover, DE, reading "Help me. I put too much hair gel in and now my hand is stuck. It's been three days. The Super Hold version is too super.".
