Happy Release Day! Captured Among the Stars 🎊 @clockhartwrite.bsky.social Go get this book! It's so good. #booksky #bookcommunity #releaseday #capturedamongthestars #cmlockhart
My review of Dead Among the stars by @clockhartwrite.bsky.social That I forgot to post before the review of book 2 😅 ... Better late than never! #Booksky #spaceopera #blackbooks #bookreview
ARC Review: Captured Among the Stars by @clockhartwrite.bsky.social A good follow up to the first book Death Among the Stars. It gave me everything I wanted and more, path to finding self, people wrestling with guilt, action, range of emotion and some messiness #booksky #CMLockhart #arcreview
Y'all like books? Cause I'm gone be outside today if you're around the Charlotte area ✌🏾
Can we talk about the day Amazon went down and what that means for authors? Because I think we should. Today. At 11a EST. www.youtube.com/live/jeEJmuf...
