For those new to my page, I post a little about writing, and a lot about my family's cats.
My first series, I Guess We're Heroes, is a sci-fi/thriller available in paperback, audiobook, and ebook (including Kindle Unlimited). Links to both books are at the bottom of this post.
My next series is in the works, and will be fantasy/LitRPG!
I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅
Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it 
I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!
I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!
If you're new here, welcome! 😄

It's tragic that Nassun, in a fit of rage, comes to understand her father's filicidal outbursts—but can't quite make the connection that what she aims to do with her fear and hatred is just as evil as what Jija did to Uche with his.
So close! Just a wee bit more self-reflection and she'd get there…
Ah, but we're only a quarter of the way through the book. There's time and hope for Nassun yet.

Does anyone have a list of book blogs, legit book reviewers, book magazines, and such places a Mastodontian author could get visibility for their book?
Speaking for myself and other indies that could use the boost, since many of us have left META and need new ways to share the exitement of new releases. (:

Once the majority has decided a marginalized group is the demon in one part of a story, it’s easier to paint them as demons in another.
But it doesn't have to be this way. These #books offer a humane approach to #trans athletes: https://www.texasobserver.org/trans-athletes-inclusion-sports-culture/
Do you hate AI, love discovering new indie authors, and love Fantasy stories that get DARK?
Then I suggest that you preorder Once Upon A Fairytale, an anthology that has all that (and you get to prove the power of Mastodon as THE place for us indies)!
Please share, so others too can find a good read for the fall season. <3

Another amazing story. Took a little longer to hook me than the first one, but just a little. And now I'm sad that the store I found these in didn't have the third book, because I need more stories like these.
