I believe in promoting authors and books because this business is so hard! When my writer and friend, @ToriEldridge asked me to help her with publicity, it was a no brainer. I'm glad she reached out! So please help me wish Tori a Happy Book Birthday! Oh, and buy the book! BTW, I love book birthdays!

Just finished the final draft of the 4th book in my Killing series. Now all I have to do is a final read, remove all unnecessary words plus the boring parts & send to my editor. That book about killed me, y'all. Lord, I'm going to buy an insanely expensive outfit to celebrate. Don't judge me.

Beau Johnson 🇨🇦 🪓@beaujohnson44.bsky.social · 5mo agoI see there is some discourse on here about self-promotion and that authors shouldn’t be doing it. Guys, I’m fucked then.
