So... since I last remembered #BookSky existed, I've released yet another anthology.

For these short story collections, I am both author and publisher.

They bring voices from around the world together, and the resulting stories are endlessly entertaining.

Each sale supports 11 indie authors!

@brianterence.co.uk is essentially my official BlueSky representative, since I never use this site.

Might spend time here if I didn't have to mute everything to avoid politics and use a VPN to view my own DMs.

Sorry, folks. At least Brian is amazing at his self-appointed job and updates you all.

I never remember this site exists.

I log in for once to discover that my feed is full of political BS again and I have a DM that I can't see without verifying my age.

I can see myself giving up on this place.

To whoever DM'd me: sorry, I'm not giving out my credit card deets just to read your DM

New review time! I've actually been waiting on this one for a while, since it's from a beta reader. People get busy sometimes!

So worth the wait!

The entertainment aisle at my local supermarket being mostly books makes my heart happy.

New release! Except I'm not just an author this time...I'm also the publisher and co-editor?

That's right, I've teamed up with an amazing group of authors to produce an anthology. This collection of short stories has everything from fantasy to humour!

Fun fact: I've sold more books with piss takes and cringey jokes than I have writer's lifts, link spams or adverts.

Don't overthink marketing. People like conversations, humour and realness over yet another product link in their face.

So they're here as well. Why is that wherever there are authors, the 'digital marketer' and 'book promotion expert' people turn up?

Authors, when do you think they'll learn that we have 0 interest in working with them?

I edit my novels, short stories, etc. What I will not do is edit social media posts.

I type on the spot and hit post. You can have the typos as a free gift.

Apparently, some people can sell their books just based off their name. Usually celebrities selling rubbish books that they didn't write.

So... You all know my name. Go buy my books. Promise I actually wrote the rubbish that's in them.

UK authors and readers will know why this is a childhood dream moment for me... My book is listed WHSSmith's website!

Okay, so it's not actually in stock anywhere, but you can actually order it through them and pick it up from your local WHSSmith.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Having local writer friends just about keeps me sane. If I couldn't meet up in person and chat sometimes, I would be a total mess.

Ah, yes, that first of the month moment when we indies need to be free from the dashboard of zeros!

Let's try a sarcastic sales pitch: This month, the first person to buy a book from me wins a free holiday to imaginary land!

I can't recall what brought this piece on but this character is one of a few in something I came up with years I ago that I abandoned. However, I like this character and might just play off him at some point.

Do people still do pin RT swaps here or is that a relic of the Twitter times that we'll condemn forever to the past?

If they still happen, I'd love one #BookSky

Fellow readers and writers, please do show this some love!

It's a 932-page, three-books-in-one, illustrated special edition that was both a nightmare and a dream to create.

I adore it. I hope you will too!

So far, the general vibe of #BookSky is quite serious.

I'm pretty silly and sarcastic. My characters escape the mafia in wheelie bins and my narrators gently mock the villain's interior decorating skills.

There's still space for weird in the #WritingCommunity, right?
