This is the cover of an ebook I am publishing in a few weeks about the life and death of Alice Sheldon, better known as the science fiction writer James Tiptree, Jr. I'm hoping to publish ebooks for all these writer stories I did. #books #booksky #literature #writing #indiewriter #indiebooks
In my old age, I’m really learning to appreciate the act of rereading books I’ve read at some point before. And I’ve been thinking of more books I’d like to do this for. I really think it’s an insightful experience. #books #booksky #literature #reading #writing
Here's a really nice review for my book. It's nice to know all the agony of writing a book isn't unappreciated. 😂 If you're interested, there's a free preview of the book at this link... #books #booksky #literature #reading #writing

Here's another nice review of my book. The bad reviews always sting, but when a reader enjoys the book, it makes it all worth it. Getting reviews is essential for authors, especially for indie authors. 😊 #books #booksky #literature #writing #reading #indieauthor

I released this exclusive to Amazon as an experiment. It's about a hypothetical espionage adventure W. Somerset Maugham has in Geneva in 1915. I have painfully realized I cannot avoid Amazon and Meta in my self-publishing (for now). #books #booksky www.amazon.com/Lost-Rainbow...
On the one hand, it's really fucked up that there is a paywall in GTA6 for salons and tattoos and stuff. On the other hand, millions of American men are going to be picking which heels and braids to wear to the robbery. 😊
I haven't tried to make any sculptures since I almost burned the house down when I was baking one in the oven last year. 🤣 I sort of miss the ache in my shoulders from kneading the clay. 😄 I'm a cartoonishly amateur sculptor, but I would like to be good at it. #art #artsky #sculpture #sculpting
“Selected Poems,” by Jorge Luis Borges. I read this about ten years ago, but I wanted to read it again. It’s got all my highlights and dog-ears in it, so I’m excited to explore them. #books #poetry #literature #borges #reading #booksky #poems #jorgeluisborges
“Braiding Sweetgrass,” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. #books #booksky #writing #literature #nonfiction I’ve been meaning to read this for a while. It’s a book of indigenous wisdom mixed with science and storytelling. Very impressed with it so far.
“Girl, Woman, Other,” by Bernardine Evaristo. This book tells the story of multiple women in London. It won the Booker Prize in 2019. That‘s when I bought it. 😂 I really like it so far. #books #literature #bookerprize #reading #booksky
