How do they know youโre indie? If your book is available through Ingram, with returns, theyโll have no idea. Thatโs whatโs in the blog. Read it.
Dean Wesley Smith showing how the same art and proper branding can change a book cover. These are the sorts of things thatโll be in the Best Practices class starting next month. #writers

Me, getting ready for the race

Thereโs a dinosaur in the crowdโฆ
The crowd at the 5K
Had a great time at the Rock โnโ Roll 5K tonight. Just me this year, although I did see some Vegas runner friends. Great weather, great energy, and a great result. More pix later.
I get a sense you didnโt read Deanโs post. He wasnโt talking about driving your books to a store.
Angel Kitty wearing a toy rope
On this #Caturday, Angel Kitty brought me her favorite toy, already draped over herself. She wanted play, not rescue. Iโm not sure how the toy rope ended up like thatโฆ
Itโs their store. They can make it reflect their own tastes. It has always been so. I had a so-called friend, bookstore owner tell me to my face that I donโt write โgoodโ fiction so he wouldnโt carry my books. His choice. His store went out of business; Iโm still writing and selling not-good books.
Dean Wesley Smith posted the Kickstarters that #readers and #writers should look at this week. Lots of fantasy, dark academia, and romance. Worth studyingโฆand backing!
