I just completed the first of 2 donations I’ll be making this month. This one went to CLOVES Syndrome Community, who helps me and my family every single day. For those who don’t know, my daughter has an extremely rare condition called CLOVES Syndrome. Only around 1000 people worldwide have CLOVES, and because of CSC, we’ve had the chance to meet and get to know some of them! CSC provides me and my family so much hope and connection, as well as education, all while they donate to scientists studying PIK3CA Related Overgrowth Syndromes (like CLOVES)! You can learn about CLOVES Syndrome on the CSC website, or by visiting their Instagram @clovessyndromecommunity . My next donation will be to @uniteagainstbookbans and I’m hoping to pad my donation total with money I earn from selling books that would probably be banned if they were popular enough for people to notice. Yep, I’m donating ALL of my royalties from ALL of my books sold in December to UABB. Help me spread the word so I can send them a great big donation before December 31st! . #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthorsunited #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorgiveback #medicalmom #uniteagainstbookbans #clovesirl #clovessyndrome (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIEMzEPBut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey Bookdragons! Happy Saturday! Thank you to everyone who made the cover reveal of No Check Out so special! • • Day 13 of August’s #writerfriendschallenge is “Share a Character’s Personality” • • Meet Huntleigh Graves, the MC in No Check Out! Age: 26 Hometown: Charleston, SC Current City: Goodlettsville, TN Occupation: Travel Blogger (formerly), Researcher and Team Liaison for Tear Back the Veil Investigations Backstory: her mom died when she was 11 and her dad started tagging along with a crew of paranormal investigators so she was always traveling and living out of crappy motels while her father tried desperately to make contact with her mother on the “other side” until he too passed away. Personality: Huntleigh is very reserved, closed off emotionally. Prefers to see the world through an analytical, skeptical lens. Would like to pursue a relationship but doesn’t want to open herself up to get hurt after her past with her parents. Has a somewhat close friendship with her team members Verbena and Orion. • • What do you think of Huntleigh so far?? No Check Out releases 1-13-2023 and you can preorder now! • • #nocheckout #characteraesthetic #charactermoodboard #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorgram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #writergram #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #author #authorgram #authorcommunity #writer #books #writerscommunity #writing #writerslife #amwriting #authorsofig #authorssupportingauthors #write #bookworm #fiction https://www.instagram.com/p/ChM-vUvL3Co/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

love seeing rainbow book stacks, but hurt it’s in response to something going on in our bookish community . don’t know what specifically happened and don’t care to. there’s enough on the news. just sucks I had to deal with shit against my own identity in my personal life this week. hence my bi book stack. . if you didn’t know, the love interest in my book SLEEPING AROUND is bi, and a lot of his experience is what I wish mine was. with my family, friends, and most of all, with myself. people say, “how can hurt against the queer community still be happening in 2023?” and all I can think is, “what made you think it ever stopped?” and “what are we doing about it?” . so much more to say, but go read some queer books. major shout out to 6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by @forest_of_arden and Call Me Him by @river.braun ♥︎ . also, @publisherswkly asked me to be on the general fiction panel next saturday for the booklife indie author forum! come and get publishing insight from me and fellow authors, including @mrene_author and @liliannemilgrom! . #lgbtpride #queerpride #indieauthor #indieauthors #indieauthorsunited #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorsbeseen #indieauthorsupport #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublished #selfpublish #selfpub #selfpublishing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writing #writer #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #author #authorlife #authorssupportingauthors #authorcommunity #bookstagram #booklove #book #bookish #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz8qDcrJEv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My current book obsessions. I can’t get enough of J. R. Rogue’s poetry. Please, don’t you dare cage me.

Are you a lifelong learner? Continual learning is good for our brains! 🧠 Publishing with a hybrid publisher taught me a lot. ✍️Authors I know who have traditional publishers sacrifice control over how their book looks; 👀how they’re marketed & positioned; 🔖& they give up a lot of control over the content they create. For example, if a traditional author decides they want an audiobook, 🔊they can’t go off & create one on their own—It goes through the publisher. I spent months learning how to write a book. 💻I didn’t know there was a process. Each week, besides writing, fellow authors spent hours in live workshops & met with editors & coaches. 🗓️ It was harder than the math class 🧮 I was required to take last summer, which nearly killed me. In my weekly meeting with my editor, I told him NDP reminded me of the quote, “Give a man a fish, 🐟 & you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, 🎣& you feed him for a lifetime.” The authors in my cohort were empowered because we had the support to learn how to do everything. 👨‍🏫Our books perform better than the average first-time indie author. 📚NDP showed us how to avoid the mistakes inexperienced authors make. NDP taught us to publish like a second-time author. If you think you have a book in you, 📖maybe consider checking out New Degree Press (or something like it). The winter cohort has begun, ❄️but maybe it’s something to think about for spring. 🌱Authors are international 🌎🌍🌏, & workshops & meetings are scheduled across 19 time zones. It’s amazing. I’m not saying the experience was perfect, but it was perfect enough to get my book published & perform well! 👌 This post is what marketers call “UGC,” or user-generated content. UGC is powerful because it’s unpaid, authentic & trustworthy. If your friends share products or services because they like them, it’s likely UGC. (I learned that at Bellevue College!) Happy weekends to you all 💗& thank you again for your support! 🙏 . . .

Loved this wonderful, glowing 4-Star review from Erika on Goodreads! Have you checked in to The Williamson Hotel yet? Available now in eBook, #KindleUnlimited, Hardcover, Paperback and Signed Paperbacks are still available on Etsy! Blurb: Can a building be inherently evil? With every board, window, and brick that went into building The Williamson Hotel, nestled at the mouth of the Great Smoky Mountains, a dark being was forged. Some say the hotel is haunted, others swear it’s cursed, But nobody knows the truth. When a team of paranormal debunkers is invited to The Williamson to spend the night and dispel the rumors of its haunting, they think it’s just another routine job. Huntleigh Graves and her friends have investigated many “haunted” locales around the southern United States and proved them all to be fakes. But they had no idea what they were getting into when they agreed to investigate The Williamson. From the moment they arrive at The Williamson, the team knows something isn’t right. But what starts off as a simple investigation into the paranormal turns into eight hours of horror. Eight hours that not all of them will make it through alive. Welcome to The Williamson Hotel. We hope you enjoy your stay. Because once you check-in, there is… No Check Out #Indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorgram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #writergram #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #author #authorgram #authorcommunity #writer #books #writerscommunity #bookreview #writerslife #wisconsinauthor #authorsofig #authorssupportingauthors #bookstagram #bookworm #horrorbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoB7TiOA9fy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

coming back to instagram to shoutout my fellow author @kvbooks and my new reader friend @candybunnyreader for posting about my debut book. the fact you took the time to not only read but share means the absolute world ♥︎ . I went through a major, many-months-long, all-consuming journey recently and had to take a step back from reading, writing, and editing (and obviously posting). but in the midst of that, a high note was winning in my category for the @publisherswkly booklife prize for ya/middle grade with SLEEPING AROUND. swipe to read my interview with them! excited and inspired to get back to writing now—and fingers crossed I can announce a release date for my second book soon 🤞🏻 . also, if you’re an indie or aspiring indie author, don’t miss the @publisherswkly 2nd annual booklife indie author forum on february 25th! so happy and honored they asked me to be on their ya/middle grade panel. . let me know if plan to go to the indie author forum! would love to know I have people there for support ♥︎ . #booklifeforum #booklife #publishersweekly #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #indieauthorsunited #indieauthorsofig #indieauthorsbeseen #indieauthorsupport #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublished #selfpublish #selfpub #selfpublishing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writing #writer #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #author #authorlife #authorssupportingauthors #authorcommunity #bookstagram #booklove #book #bookish #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CoEFkPvLKlH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
