Indie authors are largely poor and struggling and we rely on the income we get from our books. Don’t include indie books in your boycott, please. It directly hurts struggling creatives who are faced with corporations, an impossible industry and rising living costs alongside falling royalty returns.
Hey, how about we not boycott Kindle Unlimited authors?!!!. You know the authors that are mostly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors?

I have been trying to publish my book on Ingramspark to branch out but they are still processing my account... for about 10 days now when they state it should only take 3-5 days! I have contacted them but I hope the rest of the process goes smoother...

Behold the puzzle my grandmother and I just finished! It took a while as we both lost our minds at moments, and we ended up just laughing and drinking tea. Safe to say, we had a great time together!

Why did I make the Deities' lore of my own series so confusion? 😭 My worldbuilding has gone a bit out of hand... But I will make it all connect one way or the other, mark my words!

It is really fun to finally include a piece of Dutch folklore (de Witte Wieven) in my book, especially as I can link them with the irrwisp monsters. Fyrian and Viera are getting their ancient elders: the White Wisps!
