My Books are on sale during July at Smashwords!
The Stardust Alliance and More now available in paperback at Amazon and on Audible.com.
[I had to remove an item after checking it out more thoroughly. Sorry if I led you astray.]
I also recently learned about this ’Stack called Auraist that highlights books for your perusal. I haven’t had time to give them a thorough examination. Check them out and let me know what you think. You also might follow
, which is affiliated with them in some way. Haven’t figured things out there yet.On to the list! Pick and choose. And explore Substack. My list is far from complete. And I am happy to say that lots of these people don’t stoop to the fakery of AI (artificial intelligence) which should be called AP (advanced programming).

Readers
My list of people who enjoy reading your writing is beginning to take shape. Here is what I have so far:
If you are a reader, please comment. I will add you to my list.
Genre (Theme) Days
See my article: Publisher Agent Fiction Genres Defined, with downloadable PDF.
Fiction is divided into two main categories, or so I have seen on various sites that present themselves as authorities on the subject:
Genre (mystery, romance, sci-fi, drama, horror, historical, etc.)
Literary (usually anything that’s not of a specific genre and often considered to be more focused on ideas that plot, characters, etc., but I beg to differ)
These genre days are great opportunities to showcase your work and are also inspirational!
Here’s a list, showing the “host(s)” who often do a summary of the posts:

.Wanna catch the eye of readers? A great way is to be bold and post in Notes links to your tomes (no matter how large or small), to your ’Stack, and even your author site! [Note: dhw=definitely human written although some may use the AI image generator or an AI writing checker]
