We talk about novels vs novellas, and how writers can succeed at breadth or depth when it comes to storytelling.

Hi, I've been away from here for 1 year and 7 months 😱

I wasn't able to log in one day and then things got busy and I forgot about it. Not sure if many people from the bookish and writer communities are still here? 📚

Anyway, I've recently released a new book, 'The Cloud Enchanters: Fantasy Stories'. It's a collection of fun, cosy short stories featuring dragons, witches, angels and more. If you'd like to check it out, I'd be thrilled!

Slavery and the British involvement

While Britain can be proud of the work that was done by the abolitionists, albeit helped on by the changes in fortune as trade and the importance of slavery in the empire waned, never forget the reality of what was done. An horrific tale that illustrates one side of the inhumanity that it involved.

From the article, title,

The Zorg — a shameful true story of slavery, murder and greed
In The Zorg, Siddharth Kara dramatises the horrific events of 1781 when the crew of a British slave ship, running low on water, threw the human cargo overboard

So, if you also like earnest stories with characters who care about one another, even in difficult times, who rise above circumstances to make the world better, give LITANY a spin.

My novella of trans self-discovery is now up for pre-order! You can get Guitar Concerto in C Flat Minor, Op. 12: Lucina (short name Opus) for preorder now. Release date December 12,2025. Ebook $3. Paperback $8.

Itch: anotherindiewriter.itch.io/opus

Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/994d56a7cb

Amazon (ngl, I kind of want an orange banner for the first time ever with book #4): amazon.com/dp/B0FTWJ89VC

Kobo: kobo.com/us/en/ebook/guitar-co

Apple Books: books.apple.com/us/book/id6753

B&N: barnesandnoble.com/w/guitar-co

This story has been literal years in the making. While it's not a personal retelling of what I went through in my self-discovery, it is written in part through the many emotions and feelings I experienced while I was trying to understand who I was.

This book is, of everything I've written, the book I've been the most scared to publish for so, so many reasons. Even now I'm still full of anxiety about it. But I hope you all will like it.

If there is a goal I have with this book, it's that I'd like to beat my preorder record I set with Kotov Syndrome, which was 64 copies (13 on Amazon, 51 from Ingram Spark). I know full well this is very unlikely since it's a novella and since it's a trans identity book, but I want to try.

Just finished reading The Western Lands, by William S. Burroughs. Final book in the Cities of Red Night trilogy, and I believe his final novel.
