It has, regretfully, been a while since I was last active on here. Apologies to anyone who messaged me this last month and was confused by my radio silence. There will be a full update some time, explaining why I've been absent so long and what I've been up to (as it's all been quite exciting, so I will no doubt want to jabber about...

Good news! I'll have to check these out!
drwhosit:
Already paid for it. And I would do it again!
npv1851:
Awesome, thanks!
I recently made the acquaintance of a very talented poet called Mike Essig. I stumbled across Mike's work on HelloPoetry and was instantly smitted with it. I discovered that Mike had published two books of his poetry: Never Forgotten was an attempt to make sense of the horrors he witnessed in Vietnam as a young soldier, and Huck Finn, which deals in broader terms...

Nice! Your productivity shames me!
nicorez:
Thank you all so much, @NPV1851, @KARNOV and @Ollyp. This one has actually been in the works for about six years, but I got sidetracked with a novel and other projects in the meantime. I've been carrying this strange, twisted little story around in my head all that while.
One of the most valuable gifts you can give an indie author is a well-written review. I just received one such (unexpected) gift from a lady named Stephanie Jane.
I don't know Stephanie. My first contact with her was last week, when she got in touch via Twitter to let me know that she was reading my novel, Anhedonia, and enjoying it. A second...

I really like the story and flow of this poem. Just really great work. Descriptive, great imagery. Good job!
So, it's official. I'm now on the poster.
I will be one of three authors representing "women in dark fiction", and I will be reading from my novel, Anhedonia. It'll be the first prose reading I've done, although I have done plenty of performance poetry at various open mic and spoken word events, including last month's Poetry On The Spot night at the Albion

Whoa. You're like famous now!

@jozsef, @catdad, @ekka, @gideonstargrave, @lust_of_wolves: thank you all very much for your words of support. Looking forward to it.
Offer ends today. Get it here.
quotesick:
Thanks, @Nicorez. If this is anywhere near as good as Gulag 101 was, I'll make sure some people BUY IT. 😆
nicorez:
Thank you, @quotesick. The three Rs for supporting indie writers: Read, Review, Recommend.
I have been kindly invited to do a book reading and Q&A session at Hello, Darkness, an event showcasing the contribution of female authors to the darker and twistier side of fiction.
This effectively means I get to read something nasty in public.
Good gig.
jozsef:
Sounds pretty dark to me. ;) (BTW, I don't think American Mary is a celebration of body autonomy, not that the phrase lacks ambiguity.) Anyway, I'd love to come and I could even manage the admission but the bus fare from here would be brutal.
anjave:
Sounds cool!
