🎧AUDIOBOOK LOVERS📖 Did you know Dark Bloom and What Comes Before both have audiobooks? 🧟‍♀️ Dark Bloom is available almost anywhere audiobooks are sold 🪾What Comes Before is Audible exclusive 🌽Without A Whisper is being recorded now 📢 psst, ask me for codes

A request for some help. As some of you know, I’m now seeking to self-publish in future (I’ve over 20 novel ideas) after my last three novels were published by indie publishers. This, obviously, costs money, but I’m determined to create high quality books that people will enjoy and cherish. If you would like to support me on my self-publishing journey, then please visit the link on my bio and ‘buy me a coffee’ to help the cause. All kind benefactors will be thanked on a special benefactors page in my first novel and entered for a draw to win a signed personalised copy. Thank you.

Steve Jobs built one of the most valuable companies in history, amassed unimaginable wealth, and changed the world with his vision. Yet in his final months, battling pancreatic cancer, he reportedly reflected on how little joy work alone brought him—how praise and riches faded to insignificance against the reality of death. You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you… but no one can carry your illness. Material things can be replaced. Life cannot. As we age, the $300 watch and $30 watch both tell the same time. The $150,000 car and $30,000 car take the same roads. A 300 sqm home or 3,000 sqm home can feel just as lonely. True happiness? It comes from love—for family, spouse, friends. From treating yourself and others well. From companions who laugh, talk, and share life with you. Jobs' story reminds us: Don’t wait until the curtain falls to realize what matters most.

@theamelia__ You again!

@stephenRB4 Or "there" "they're" and "their"

I can’t take people seriously who don’t know the difference between your and you’re.

@whataimeereads_ I hope the kid feels better soon. Time stops from me when my little one is not feeling well.

Happy Monday! Editing today with a poorly kiddo at home. What's your plans?

@MannMarni3 Dressed in fine suits, 3 faceless creatures—the Indiffrints—rise from the floor of a gothic mansion to collect the payment of an old, famous writer; to abscond with his soul to the underworld.

@iamscottcollard I love setting the mood with music too! What’s the scene you’re working on, something creeping and subtle, or full-on dark fantasy chaos?

Help me, #writingcommunity! I’m attempting to write some of the dark fantasy parts in my novel, but I NEED ominous music to set the scene. This has been my torch, but something new could spark a fire. All suggestions are greatly appreciated! #music #amwriting #fantasyart

@Pro__Author The villains are always interesting. Monsters don't have rules; whereas, the hero has to abide by certain ethics to remain a hero.

Do you secretly like writing the bad guy's story?

@whataimeereads_ I need that book on my shelf.

Absolutely stunning edition of Dracula in Waterstones 😍

@BlueShackComics @stephenRB4 The real circle of life.

@stephenRB4 Exhibit A I’m the guy punching the guy who punched the other guy.

Have you ever punched anyone in the face?

@vickyweberbooks Listening to a score that fits the mood of the scene is key for me.

Do you write better with music, silence, or background chaos you didn’t choose?

Without A Whisper releases in 10 days 🙌🏻 Currently, it has one more preorder than Dark Bloom had 🧟‍♀️ The preorder price is $2.99 but it’ll go up to $4.99 after release ⬆️ Also, ARCs are still open 📖 If you haven’t read Dark Bloom yet, no sweat, I can send both ✌🏻

@BenGalley I love when a book series has an easily identifiable theme for the front cover graphic. Well done!

Don't forget you can still back the Dead Stars: Part Two project and get your bibliophilic claws on the whole set of Emaneska series illustrated hardcovers! Late pledges FTW! 👇 kickstarter.com/projects/emane…

@AuthorGFAllen Castlevania (I play it every year).

Final Fantasy 7

@lady_valor_07 I played Return to Zork, Warcraft II, and StarCraft on Windows 98.

Yes, yes, I am. 😂😂😂

@EclecticRen @lady_valor_07 @NICRADDX My dad owned one of these. I wish he had kept it. It would have been incredible to write a manuscript on it.

@lady_valor_07 @NICRADDX I am this old. The self correction was a Godsend.
