Also, the with the sequel, we'll get updated deck plans of the hero ship (no spoilers for book 2 in this image, but if you haven't finished Common Accord, there are some very minor spoilers in the compartment labels).

This is me writing: In my current WIP (sequel to knbrindle.com/common-accord), there's some pivotal action that takes place on another skip ship. In order to be able to plan out the blocking for this action, I need to do this:

Looking for holiday gifts? Get them an ebook. In fact, get them 64 ebooks... or divide this bundle up between your friends! When you buy this ebook bundle, you OWN the ebooks. Give them as gifts... or keep them all to yourself 😅

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

Here is the very first page of A Memory of Blood and Magic, where we meet Arin at the moment of their birth

I've got a bookmark I'm giving out with purchases of Common Accord that's designed as a visual aid for the reader, since so much of the action takes place aboard the hero ship...

But this thread also gives me good ideas for bookmarks for my other books 🤔 I love the idea of cross-promotion

It's Trans Awareness Month, and trans people are under siege. So we're fighting back, and you can help!

Grab these 32 stories of Trans People Taking On The World, by mainly trans authors

itch.io/b/3352/trans...

$35 for 32 books is a great deal!

10/19 I'll be in #fuquayVarina NC at masonjarlagerco.com selling & signing books. The Pages & Pints for a Purpose event will raise money for some great causes.

To celebrate my starting to write the sequel to Common Accord, each copy sold will come with this bookmark showing off the Common Law:

Fuck this all the way straight to hell. So, it's a start-up, meaning they'll eventually charge authors money for this shit, and their fucking mark STILL ALLOWS USE OF AI. Fuck this noise. Just another way to squeeze the life out of indie authors

The vehicle:

A rag-tag crew, sure. A skip-ship cobbled together out of parts rescued from the recycler, though? Well, when you’re at the bottom of the ladder, you grab for the rung you can reach

You need a ship. You need a crew & a mission. But more than that, you need a family...

But how does an #author possibly transport such a #model to and from sales tables & cons safely? Why, with a bespoke carrying case of course!

And it's finished! Just in time for the weekend. Here are some final beauty shots.

If you're in or around Durham, NC this weekend, stop by www.eventeny.com/events/durha... to see it in person, to say hi, and maybe even buy some of my books!

@itch.io 56 DAYS now. No response on multiple support tickets, no movement of any kind. You just decided you're going to keep my money, or what?

I’m scratchbuilding a model of the hero ship in my blue-collar space opera found family heist novel to decorate my table at a book event next weekend and the paint job is starting to look really nice!

Painting!

This is a mix of Tamiya Titanium silver + red + blue + clear, shot through my Harder & Steenbeck infinity brush

The lighting/camera doesn't really do the color justice. There's a lot more purple in-person and the multiple layers gives a subtle chromatic shift under changing light.
