I got the cover for After the Awakening today!

I'll reveal it next week, but I'll let you know now, it's 100% swoon worthy. 馃槏

Hello 馃憢 how are you doing?, How would you describe your writing style?

Ms Rose: If you are not a bot, I apologize. When you send the same question to multiple people without even personalizing it by reading their profile and finding some human connection, your style will have that effect. The effect of coming off as a bot. Bots have been doing this type of engagement for months now, eventually trying to sell some sort of service that turns out to be a scam鈥攁nd writers are tired of it; so pardon me if I am mischaracterizing you. If your agent or publicist is running this account to give you a Mastodon presence, fire them. Your publisher? Talk to them about ruining your reputation. At this point, despite the spread of pretty books and publishing credits displayed on your profile, I feel someone has put up an AI storefront to masquerade as the author; considering the discussions that are current about this type of thing, if you are the real human you, you might want to act now.

PS: Bad grammar in your original contact question is the best way to signal how genuine you are.

Woohoo! I have leveled up. The scam bots account I reported got shot down. I think I will allocate skill points to agentic-AI extermination!

You too can kill #agenticAI #bots

Gute Nacht, Freunde.

Well, it seems that selling books without Amazon ads is very, very difficult. This month is bad, bad, bad - and that's despite a very nice author swap for my Wolves that got me plenty of downloads.

Just no sales.

You can grab a sweet SF short story for 99ct in my store, though, IF you use a coupon on checkout (code is Livingstone). It's usually 2.99. Prices are in Euro.

Here's the link to The Backup:

Cover for the short story The Backup.

The image shows a futuristic starship gliding down to land on a planet, with the engine glowing at its back. Right now, it's tilting a little to the right (just left off center on the image), flying across an ocean towards rugged, mountainous land. It's near sunset, the entire image is a mix of brown and golden light.

The text reads in silver-metallic letters:

I think I'll give up on trying to set up WooCommerce. Anybody recommend anything I can use as a shop plugin, primarily for digital downloads of ebooks and audio books off a wordpress site? Preferably on the lower side of cost (or free if viable) as I wouldn't want to strain my pockets at start up phase!

Edit: I settled for WP eStore Plugin, has all the features I need, and it's a one-off payment of about $40. So now setting up my book store.

Hey #WritingCommunity

Do any of you serialize your work on your own site? I'm pondering doing this, but I have questions if anyone has the time & inclination to answer. 馃ズ Thanks!
