AUTHORS: give me your best advice!

Saw someone else do this trend and thought I’d follow suit!

I have always been very anti gatekeeping. Any information I have, I will share with no hesitation. This is because I don’t view other authors as competition, but rather my colleagues, all working together to make this space what it is. Hopefully some of these author and publishing tips are helpful! As always, my opinion is one of many, pull your knowledge from many sources 🥰.

We are giving away an early edition copy of Taming Winter, complete in a limited edition book box!

Tag one person below (one entry for every tag!) and make sure to follow everyone listed on the collaboration to be entered! There will be five opportunities to win, so make sure to check back 😘. Winners will be announced at the beginning of July! Good luck 😈.

Touch HIM and ☠️, the classic twist on Touch Her and Die that has apparently become a staple in my recent works 😜.

We love a possessive, protective book baddie. Whether she’s already morally black and ready to burn it all down, or he is a golden retriever book boyfriend pushed too far, I’ve got it all.

Lets talk about maximizing social media!

QOTD: as always, I’m providing what has worked for me. Tell me what has helped you get followers in the comments!

I hit 3K yesterday (giveaway coming 😜) and wanted to share the tips and tricks for other indie authors to promote their accounts and build a readership. This is just what has worked for me, without taking any social media classes or paying for advertisements. It’s a lot of work, but it pays off in promoting your book or novel! This also ties back into building a solid bookish community around you and your books.

(As a little game, count how many keywords I used in my description 😉).

QOTD: what was the first MM Romance you read? 🫶🏼👀

I saw this trend and knew I needed to hop on with Razvan, because this is basically the plot of House of Wolves lol! 😆 After losing his partner to illness, Razvan joins the cabinet of the Vampire Tsar and has to travel to the famous Island of Wolves, where he meets the Alpha and sparks fly. If you like emotional depth, trauma to strength, and SPICE, this one is for you!

House of Wolves tropes:

♿️ Disability rep
🤯 Trauma rep
🧑‍⚖️ Political Allies to lovers
☯️ Opposites attract
👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 MlM
🐾 Golden retriever Pl***oy MMC
🧛 Werewolves and vampires
🥵 Instalust
🙏🏼 Political intrigue
🫦 Talks him through it
🪢 Monster s**t and Knotting
🌸 Plant daddy

Little SPICY SUNDAY for you all from Taming Winter!

Who is ready for what I believe is my SPICIEST novel yet? Complete with a dommy mommy, B**M, voyerism and more. Enter the dark and twisted world of The Corrupt Immortals in Taming Winter.

Special early release boxes are available now! Comment “Hades” for the link, and check my bio for a surprise 😛.

QOTD: what else did I miss? Give me your favorite tricks for helping support your favorite authors!

The bookish community relies on us all to support one another and lift each other up. Authors do so by providing quality, engaging stories (and minding themselves on public platforms) while readers support us by getting our books into more hands and paying our bills. So I thought I’d give my tips to the book community on how you can help your favorite authors out! I always find these helpful and learn something when other accounts post these tips, so hopefully you find mine enlightening as well 🥰🫶🏼.
