One of my supporters posted this lovely reaction to the acknowledgements in my latest book 📚

@mattckrell Apparently the link in the reply is the trick to avoid it. No idea what works, but yep.

@SVRaaymakers Does including a link in a reply mitigate this issue? I’ve seen people do that but no confirmation that it works.

TIL that including links in my tweets can limit the reach of my post. I can't keep up with the ways the algorithm tries to screw with me 🙄

This #review though! "Fire in the Hearth is a stunning return to the Scars of Magic series" and "I highly recommend Fire in the Hearth". fanfiaddict.com/review-fire-in… #booktwt #books #fantasy #reviews

@AagardKylee Looks awesome! Keep it up.

@SVRaaymakers I do! It took me 4 years to do book 1's cover. I did start book 2's cover during thst time because I was less intimidated by drawing that big monster than the dang horse. I've been working on this cover off and on for a while now and have the sketch for book 3's cover done.

Progress post on book 2's cover. I did pause working on it to work on book 2. When I do return to it I am probably going to take not work on the monster and work on the background instead. The purple smoke also needs to be redone completely so those layers will be redrawn.

Fellow Australasians (and everyone else lol), this is pretty darn decent of Steven and a great opportunity to do some good. I just grabbed his full Aria of Steel trilogy!

@timmckay52 Happy to help with the reveal.

⚓ ALL HANDS ON DECK ⚓ Hey friends, remember that time in 2024 when I did a cover reveal that blew up so fast I got temporarily suspended on here? Well... let's do it again 😂 Next cover reveal: June 25 at 9 am EST. And you guessed it: Illustrated by the incredible Joe Requeza. If you'd like to help (and get a sneak peek before anyone else), let me know in a comment. Will DM details. Help from review teams/sites very welcome as well! As for what to expect... one word. Phoenix. And as a treat in advance, here's a scene from the book (also illustrated by Joe Requeza).

Request the Scars of Magic books from your local library today. Full of action, emotion, and unique worlds, these highly rated books are free. overdrive.com/series/scars-o…

Heyo! New audiobook! Have an Audible credit? You know what to do.

@KevinBuildsApps I also leave it in another room. But yes, a tad extreme haha 👍

@SVRaaymakers Going from set aside to a full shut down is the bigger change. A silent phone on the table is still pulling at you the whole evening but good plan!

Just your weekly reminder to stop doomscrolling and pick up a book. #book #readmorebooks #readers

@KevinBuildsApps I've started a new habit: As soon as I get home, the phone goes off. Not just set aside, but completely shut down. It's helped me focus on family instead of the internet 👍
