Kindle certainly doesn’t like to make it easy for authors using their services. I’m in the process of updating the eBook version of How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List to the second edition. As I’ve mentioned before, whilst preparing the Amazon print edition I encountered something weird when I was using cover creator. I was forced to create a new cover as the trim size had been changed to bring it line with the Draft2Digital version but try as I might I was unable to match the original cover design which was a bit disappointing. I’m now running into a similar problem with the eBook version as there doesn’t seem to be any facility to use the same cover for both versions. Cover creator is allowing me to produce something similar, but it won’t allow me to match the existing cover. For example, the author name comes up as TIM HAYES, all in capital letters, and it won’t let me reformat it to a mix of upper case and lower case so I can’t use Tim Hayes as on the cover of the print version. It’s hinky, inflexible, and downright frustrating to use. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel

An gabh thusa, River, Phoenix mar do chèile pòsta — an geall thu do ghràdh, do dhìlseachd, agus d' onair, fhad 's a bhios anail annad? https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-we-practice-for #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

You must be Sarah. Phoenix mentioned you. Said you're the philosopher of the group, she said. Phoenix is generous with titles, Sarah said with a smirk. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-we-practice-for #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

Leila claimed the end of a middle row, phone face-down for once — a concession so radical it constituted its own form of ceremony. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-we-practice-for #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

I understand it’s considered wise to publish your eBook on a variety of platforms to take into account the reader’s prejudices regarding big tech. What’s the consensus on which platforms one should choose? #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel #IndieAuthorsSocial

How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List isn’t the first book I’ve self-published on Amazon. When I retired from being an aquarium writer writing around about nine years ago I published a non-fiction book under the name T M Hayes entitled AQUATICAL•LATIN which examined the etymology (the meaning) of the scientific names of around 950 species of the most common tropical marine fishes in the aquarium hobby. You can find this title at: https://linkly.link/2ZykB UK and https://linkly.link/2ZylE US. AQUATICAL•LATIN received a 5 star review on Amazon. I laughingly refer to it as the book which established a new category of non-fiction books, unpopular science. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel #IndieAuthorsSocial

#PennedPossibilities 974 — Does your MC become jealous? If so, to what degree? How does their jealousy manifest? Not exactly jealousy, but my deuteragonist, Vick a hereditary witch is extremely over-protective when it comes to her partner, Nathan the protagonist. She’s the Action Girl of the duo who has no qualms about immolating someone stupid enough to point an assault rifle at the love of her life. Nathan, on the other hand is the kind of lovable rogue who sole means of offence is a two-shot Taser and whose favourite form of defence against danger is to rapidly head in the opposite direction of any threat. #bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel

TW/CW, it involves some VERY real & hard topics. "And every single time she stabilizes, she walks out. Out of treatment. Out of follow-up. Out of medication management. She nods at the discharge plan and never fills the prescription. Three months later I get another call" https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-appetite-of-an-aberration #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

TW/CW, it involves some VERY real, VERY hard topics. "Impossible Thinking again, I said, and my voice came out flatter than I intended. She thinks that just by imagining things, that makes them materialize. Yes. But more than that. Micky turned her ginger ale on the napkin, a slow rotation. The boundary between what she believes and what she fantasizes has become permeable." https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-appetite-of-an-aberration #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

This one was a hard to write story. TW/CW, it involves some VERY real, VERY hard topics that involve a heavy amount of #psychosis and difficult to reconcile thoughts. Read at your caution. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-appetite-of-an-aberration #trans #queer #lgbtqia #fiction #reading #writing #author

#PennedPossibilities 973 — How do you select the names of your characters? For you, is there a method? I use multiple methods to generate character names including ones based on mythology and popular culture. The head of a law enforcement agency known as the Hounds goes by the name of Drummond. An androgenous character is known as Orlando. I’m fortunate that my urban fantasy involves magic so it’s unwise to use one’s real name, resulting in a number of punny names such as Hounds called Ripley (believe it or not) and a duo named Thompson and Thomson. And, as a last resort, it’s always worth glancing at one’s bookshelves and creating a name which is a mash up of some of your favourite authors. #Bookstodon #WritersOfMastodon #Author #Novel
