Ist dein aktuelles Projekt ein Stand-alone oder Teil einer Reihe?

Wenn es jemals fertig wird, dann ist es Teil einer Reihe. Die einzelnen Bände können aber auch getrennt gelesen werden. Insbesondere die ersten beiden.





Das Bild zeigt ein Regal mit den Büchern der Reihe "Geschichten aus der Welt nach dem Letzten Krieg":

Die Schwarmkönigin
Tabula Rasa
Spes Impavida
Monstra Coelorum
Novi Fines

sowie einen E-Book Reader in einer Hülle.

Vampspew is an absurdly pretentious vampire tale that masks a spiritual search for truth and meaning.
Cover, page 1, page 7 & page 34 shown. 44 story pages total. Available for purchase from my website store.

Cover art for "Vampspew" the graphic novel. A disturbed man sits at a table upon which sits a bell, a book and a candle. Page one of "Vampspew" the graphic novel. This page sets forth an absurd premise and reveals the setting.Page seven of "Vampspew" the graphic novel. This page revels in dark absurdity.Page 34 of "Vampspew" the graphic novel.  This full page illustration is a scene of decay. The fourth progression of the cover image where the man has now decomposed to a mass of bone scraps.

Trad publishing has perks—but indie authors can hack them. After 20+ years in the trenches, here’s how to recreate those advantages on a shoestring.

I played around with Canva for quite a while before I decided to invest in hiring a cover designer. Take a look at some of the cover concepts I was considering before landing on the final cover for my novel, Debra Lee Won't Break.

Just had a total "hey IT, the cup holder on my computer tower doesn't work right" moment.*

I was previewing my current ebook project on KDP and could not figure out why the heck my Table of Contents wasn't showing up. Fiddled with chapter headings, converted "corrected" docx to epub AGAIN, tried to upload again multiple times, no joy.

Finally realized that I had been uploading the docx to KDP instead of the epub.

*SIGH*

Setting up more books into direct print sales.

Me: "I have to open these layout files anyway. It wouldn't be THAT hard to update the full bibliography and author information on each title, would it? It's only, what, 60-some books?"

Sanity: <cattle prod> "No! No! Bad author! BAD!!!" #selfpub

Ich weiß nicht, was momentan bei mir los ist, aber mir ist gestern wieder eine Kurzgeschichte aus dem Hirn gekrochen und auf die Tastatur gepurzelt. Mit Doppelgängermotiv.
Das wird eine schaurige 3. Anthologie, auch wenn es noch bis zum Release ne ganze Weile dauern wird. 💀👻🤍

As the meme says, I want to be sparkly, in pinks and purples...but the world is on fire, and I am angry. I wanted to be happy -- I got traumatized.

But the is that if all goes smoothly, I shall hit "publish" on my newest book (my first ever non-fiction!) within the next 48 hours:

APPETITE FOR ANTITHESIS: (De)KNOWING GOD IN A LENTEN PRACTICE
