Huge thanks to Dave Lawson--Bald Author for joining me tonight, what a wild and hilarious discussion into The Envoys of War. Catch the replay here youtube.com/live/UEpTDPRd-…

People on booktok are talking again about only giving positive reviews to indie authors. Ughhhhhh. Negative reviews are valid (and necessary). All ratings (1 through 5 etc) are valid. Books are cool. Reviews are cool too.

Monthly KDP transparency post: July edition! Most of those “orders” were from the free promo for Pawns, but this was my second best month for KU page reads. Still a long way to go, but it’s encouraging!

July transparency post: A much more front-loaded month for sales/KU reads, which isn't surprising given the release of Dragon Along last month. Been a bit quieter on marketing - but because I'm nose to the grindstone on writing! Over 44k words written this month!

I needs recs for indie audiobooks that are dark fantasy or medieval/historical fantasy!!! Please don’t self-rec!

Quote with five books you think every reader ought to read. Indie Edition! Wistful Ascending by JCM Berne, author of Wistful Ascending A Pocket of Lies by rach 📚⚔️ Heliotrope by Palmer Pickering (Author) When the World Starts to Fray by Sam Parrish The Ballad of Sprikit the Bard by Seán O'Boyle

Oh, I also sold 7 signed physical copies, all hardcovers, which is the real financial win. More royalties from those 7 books than from everything on Amazon!

Here are the reviews WWP dropped in July (we actually read a bunch more just haven't posted the reviews yet...) The Pawns of Havoc by Dave Lawson--Bald Author Gathering Wise by M.K. Baker Mercy: Tears of the Fallen by Chance Dillon Protocol of Valor by Timothy Wolff - 🦎 🦎 🦎 Reviews ⬇️

I’d like to thank Willow Wraith Press, Dave Lawson--Bald Author, N.J. Alexander 🌫️ Author of Fogbound 🌫️ and more specifically R.A. Sandpiper for the recent improvements in my ability to do marketing videos 😅 their recent youtube thingy had some great advice 🎉 Link below ⬇️

Pawns hit 50 ratings today. Go, little novella, go!

From Little Stack. I’ll take it, though I’m not sure my work is too similar to Rothfuss! 😂

The only author I tag in negative reviews is myself. Dave, you failed to take the recycling out. One star, unacceptable. Dave, you forgot to buy milk at the grocery store for your wife. 1 star, horrific.

If yesterday was an #ExtraordinaryDelight to share Morgan Shank' new cover, imagine my even #ExtraordinarierDelight getting to do it again today on the day I was supposed to share it to begin with! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Out of context quotes from The Envoys of War!

Top 4 sci-fi books I’ve ever read Scalzi’s Old Man’s War series just missed the cut. Choosing 4 is hard!

Yooooooooooo, go preorder this book! Already 150 ratings and it isn’t out for another month. It’s just that good!

I don't think the mentions in the video have received the credit due to them. I was curious how a long form piece would do all on it's own. Not well. At the very least I do want to make sure our author's and supporters that are featured are aware of this gentleman's efforts.

I could write tonight, or I could scroll, stare at screens, and let the imposter syndrome wash over me.
