I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner @magicalgrrrl helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).
https://ko-fi.com/s/a100cf0ae0
“Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is an illustrated book, about my experiences with homelessness and DV trauma, from the perspective of a cat (so it’s more palatable to a wider audience). It’s currently only available in ebook, on my Ko-Fi and Patreon. Hopefully sooner than later I’ll be in a position to order physical copies to send out.
For now, though, I’m just trying to meet my family’s basic needs (shelter, food, and meds) so I’d appreciate if anyone decides to get the book or simply buy me a coffee (on Ko-Fi). My partner talks more about our current situation on her page, too

I'm reading @juergen_hubert 's books, starting with "Sunken Castles, Evil Poodles". His translation of German folklore to English, complete with commentary and footnotes, is utterly fabulous.
As someone who's read a lot of folklore books, across multiple cultures, I highly recommend "Sunken Castles" for writers and lovers of folklore alike. Solid research, notes on where the story is set in modern geography, great context, witty asides all make for a very engaging, inspiring read. The stories come to life from his carefully light, detailed approach.
This book is helping me create myths and folktales for my own fictional world. I'm having a blast reading it!

I released an ebook of my 1st book recently (unfortunately can’t print it just yet) and it’s 20% off all of June for Pride Month!

It’s a storybook, illustrated and handwritten by yours truly. The story is based on my experience with childhood trauma and homelessness, from the perspective of a cat.
I’d really appreciate any support towards this 
thank you!
I quite enjoy doing pixel art animations, so here I join two loves, the pixels and my book, A Gun Is the Thing with Feathers, which the first episode came out at the end of last month.
It is a pre-solarpunk, beautiful dystopia with an Ace female lead and plenty more LGBTQIA+ POC peeps throughout.
It is free digitally and available in handmade chapbooks, zine style, via my Ko-fi. Links in bio. It is not on A-zon cause fuck them.
My 1st book is now available in digital [pdf] format! Patreon link:

Continued thread
Some of his later oeuvres were like this. Immense bound, self-published books with alternating newspaper clippings from the US press of the time, with typewritten opinion essays and commentary mixed in. Kind of like blogging before blogging existed. I don't know who was reading them but mixed in were his letters to Kennedy era political figures so I don't think he was shy about it.
As an independent self-published author, even working with industry pros for design and editing, it's really hard to have any idea of the objective quality of your book (especially for someone like me who has massive impostery-thought stuff to manage).
That's why this feels like big deal:
My new book, "You Are A Strategist," has earned a Booklife Reviews 
️Editor's Pick designation AND is now available at independent bookstores nationwide!
Continued thread
(It also delights me that of all the Strategy and Business categories on Amazon, the one it's inching closer to the bestseller list on is "Career Advancement & Professional Development." If this book helps people have more successful careers with less suffering, then it's *all* worth it!)
Have you picked up your copy yet? I'd love to hear what resonates most with you!
The print editions of: “You are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done” are now available via independent retailers!
Because eBooks are great and all, but there’s just nothing like that “new book smell.”

My old pinned post was out of date, so here's a new #author introduction for the new year:
I write #fiction which is often strange, usually queer, and always inspired by my scientific research and experience. I write characters who are disabled and neurodivergent because I am disabled and autistic and I think representation is important.
I am 100% #SelfPublished and my books are available for free (in epub format) from my website:
https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks
or in other formats from:

Had to take a short break from social media, but I'm back!
I bring an offering; a quick little mood board for one of the characters from my indie novel series, Primrose. She's an an assassin type with an interesting backstory that's fleshed out a lot in book two!
