Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions from readers such as:
What’s the best place to get books if I’d like to make sure more of my money goes to the author?
Or: Which format (ebook, paperback, audiobook, KU...) earns authors the most?
I have written a blog post in which I tried to answer those questions.
Read it on my blog: https://jae-fiction.com/how-to-make-sure-more-of-your-book-money-goes-to-authors/

Every time I reread this scene where Carolyn talks to her ex-boyfriend about her sexuality, it makes me cry. I hope it has as much impact for people reading as it had for me when I wrote it.

Thursday's snippet from Missed Fortunes, open for pre-order now at Duck Prints Press!
Head down, the wolf takes a step forward, fangs bared as it snarls. There’s no place for Carolyn to go; there’s a wall behind her.
The card shines on the floor, the ball of light lingering.
It’s still a dream.
A nightmare.
It has to be.

“I have terrible instincts,” Carolyn says dryly. “When I’ve tried trusting them, I usually end up in trouble. It’s easier to have an interpreter sometimes. There are days when I wonder if I speak an entirely different language than everyone else.”

Silly little phrasing that I like:
Make it consistent. Control the dream. Escape the nightmare.

Hey-yo! It's #PrideMonth! I thought I'd start short this year, and talk about a short fiction collection and an anthology I loved.
Pop on over to the ol' blog for two books I hope you'll check out: "Mercedes General" and "We Mostly Come Out at Night."

Chapter 5 of my reading of the @badambulist book Glow, Worm is up, here: https://pyoor.org/create-pyoor/glow-worm-alyson-greaves-audiobook/
For those interested, the first novella can be found on Amazon--free for Kindle Unlimited readers, and an affordable $2.99 for others!
It's a 19k-word MF monster romance between a queer witch and a trans man werewolf with ample servings of spice, slice-of-life vibes, deep world building, and cozy fantasy!
Buying the e-book not only gifts yourself a fun read, but also supports myself as a queer indie author~

Looking for book recommendations for female and queer sci-fi and fantasy authors. Especially classic ones (pre 80s), but I know they aren’t as prominent then.
I am thinking about trying to organize a blog around the topic of queer theory. Do you think there is any interest in reading or contributing to a project like this?
What I have in mind would be short-medium articles that would present/summarize academic research for a broader audience; explore questions about gender, sexuality, eroticism, etc.; give queer interpretations of current events or popular culture; and/or promote other queer scholarship from other platforms.
Please boost if you think your followers would be interested. Thanks!! #QueerAuthors #queerTheory #queerstudies #genderstudies #sexualitystudies #QueerAcademia
