The best indie genre fiction I've read, stacks up to traditionally published (if not better). I'm delighted that right now most of them are .99 or free! #booksky #indieauthor

Almost all are .99 or free!

Martin Freeman is even more amazing in S2 of The Responder. Won the International Emmy Award for S1. Freeman plays a cop trying to keep his personal life together. When drug money that only he knows about is in hand he keeps it to pay family medical bills. www.britbox.com/us/show/p0b6... #tvsky

Only .99 on Amazon right now! Romance isn't my usual genre but to me this is suspense and humor with a side of romance - a susromcom? Island Chaptal finds March, a gentleman professional killer with OCD, in her messy apartment, on a job. www.amazon.com/Spotless-Boo... #booksky

Big budget TV sci-fi. Now I need to find a free trial to HBO Max. Anybody else looking forward to this? #tvsky

Love this from screenwriter @colbyday.com. This is what I do, but not becuz of sage advice but from a lack of self-discipline. 😄 Follow or subscribe to his substack: substack.com/@colbyday #writersky #authorsky

I ❤️ Ludwig, highly rec'd. Laugh out loud, suspense, awesome concept. "Puzzle setter John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor’s life is upended when his identical twin, DCI James Taylor, disappears. John reluctantly assumes his identity and his job in order to track him down." www.britbox.com/us/show/1530... #tvsky

Only .99 right now! In my TBR. "When eccentric Lady Amelia Smallhope meets a man entirely unsuitable for the position of butler, she soon realizes that Pennyroyal is her ideal partner - and the two embark on a time-hopping career as the world’s most outrageous pair of bounty hunters." #booksky

Emmy noms today and Widow's Bay is #3 in most nominations. Matthew Rhys for best actor in a comedy series. The last 3 episodes were after the cutoff date and so not included in the evaluation - the last episode was Matthew Rhys' best acting of the season? Well it was drama rather than comedy. #TVsky

Hello

Tommy & Tuppence #3. "Set during the dark days of World War II, two of Britain's most unlikely espionage agents, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, are on the trail of a pair of Nazi spies who have murdered Britain’s top agent." Bookshop ebook affiliate link: bookshop.org/a/109872/978... #booksky

Re-reading this incredible book, highlighting passages and marking pages. “Good writing is clear. Talented writing is energetic. Good writing avoids errors. Talented writing makes things happen in the reader’s mind—vividly, forcefully—that good writing, which stops with clarity and logic, doesn’t.”

I've read a lot of genre fiction, and being an unpublished writer I would note how something great was done and write it down. These are those collected notes/observations, and if you're a writer I hope you get inspiration and enlightenment 🧐 from them too. #writersky #authorsky

Widow's Bay is engrossing. Described as mystery thriller or comedy horror. I call it thriller comedy horror, mild on horror. Matthew Rhys captures your attention and keeps it, very funny (my kind of humor), and humor alongside shit hitting the fan, will cause you to binge-watch like I did. #tvsky

Not as much a beautiful cover (it's nice, the spacing is weird though), but a favorite title. Love the title of this book. A story starts to unfold in your mind just from that. Bookshop ebook affiliate link: bookshop.org/a/109872/978... #booksky

Season 2 is June 19th! Watch if you like PI's, genre-bending, the golden age of hollywood movies, or dog sidekicks. You *have* to watch season 1 first though, but there's time to do that before season 2. ☺️ #tvsky
