@clcannonauthor.bsky.social I'm the author of "The Adventures of Bodacious Creed," an exciting steampunk zombie western trilogy featuring a large and diverse cast of characters. Would you consider adding me to your Indie Authors starter pack?

Book cover. Boy stands in foreground wearing striped top and shorts. Terraced housing in background with cobbled streets. A huge battleship stands between the houses with cranes hanging around it.
So, yeah, I sort of do historical drama these days. Who’d’ve thunk it?
Set in my hometown of Wallsend, on Tyneside, during World War Two.
A war-weary battleship arrives in the shipyard for some quick repairs … but disaster strikes!
Out next month.
Glorious cover art from Isabella Grott.
It's my book!!!! #kidlituk Available to order NOW if you like hilarious mystery, mayhem and more cats than strictly necessary... 🤷♀️🐈🤔 #MG #tween #undercoverangel #EduSkyPrimary

Photograph of me holding a book. This is the UK paperback edition of Nat Cassidy’s ‘When the Wolf Comes Home’. The cover is predominantly black; a drawing of a wolf, with glowing red eyes and an open fanged mouth stands within a red box/doorway, below the wolf in grey tones are descending steps, the title in white font is written one word to each step, ending with the authors name in red text. At the top right is a quote from Tananarive Due “Brims with both horror and heart”.
Another 5⭐️ book by Nat Cassidy. ‘When the Wolf Comes Home’ takes complicated familial and social themes and emotions and expresses them through the fantastical; with the help of fairy stories and lots of gore. A true horror for one’s humanity. The afterword is a must. 💙📚 #booksky
Spring Break Indie Book Shop Hop. Stop 1 of 4 for this week was Gramercy Books in Bexley, OH. #indiebookshops #bookstores
After a decade and a short absence from Amazon, Jayce and Emma are back with new packaging, all in one bundle, ebook, KU & paperback. Halfway Home was my first indie-published book back in the day...
ACTUALLY if you can, Through Verdant Mirrors is an exception to all this. Please read this trans plural power fantasy!!! We wish more indie trans woman books were like this
(It's also on scribblehub so yanno)

One of the things I like about Itch is that I can offer the book in epub and pdf so readers can read how they pprefer! I know some indie authors are also using Ko-Fi too. I don't have mine set up yet, but it's on the list!
One book up and more coming here: sylviehelstaff.itch.io
First physical book I've bought in a while, but this cover is gorgeous. If you're looking for a fantasy book from an indie author. Try this out. I can't wait to share my thoughts when I finish it!

The cover of Mage vol 3 by Matt Wagner - a muscular guy with a glowing baseball bat, with other men in the background behind him
52. MAGE BOOK TWO: THE HERO DEFINED PART ONE (Volume 3) by Matt Wagner
The middle leg of Wagner’s urban fantasy/roman-a-clef riff on the Hero’s Journey. I’d only read the first (a much praised 80s indie), this is a fun romp whose main attraction is Wagner’s robust action storytelling
Our vampire book A Bleak Remedy has reached 40 ratings and it makes us tremendously happy.
Thanks to all you awesome indie horror readers!
Proud and excited for my pal @leahsottile.bsky.social, whose new book, which is amazing (I'm 25% through it so far), is out today: Blazing Eye Sees All. Congrats, Leah! Buy it at your favorite indie bookstore!

There is nothing better than curling up with a good book, and this time of year is perfect for getting lost in the pages of a story while also finding a new place to enjoy some serious rest, relaxation and reflection. Check out these wonderful indie bookstores while you’re in our region:
‘They used to call our shop the Circus. Well, if this is a circus, Jackson, you're in charge of the clowns.' Old spies grow ridiculous, David Cartwright used to say, but forgot to add they can be dangerous too, especially if they've fallen on hard times - as Diana Taverner learns when the past lands on her desk. An operation carried out during the height of the Troubles laid bare the ugly side of state security, and those involved are threatening to expose details. But every threat hides an opportunity, and the would-be blackmailer is soon being used as Taverner's solution to a much newer problem. Cartwright himself is long buried, and has left his library to the Spooks' College, where it turns out that one of the books has gone missing. Or perhaps never existed . . . His grandson, River Cartwright, has time to kill while waiting to be passed fit for work, and investigating the secrets his grandfather's library hid seems a harmless activity. But nothing involving the slow horses stays harmless for long. Louisa Guy is pondering her future, but before making any big decisions, she might as well check River's not about to come a cropper. Shirley Dander is wondering if the new kid, Ash Khan, is as annoying as she seems. Roddy Ho wants the team to know that his tattoo is a hummingbird, and not, as Lech Wicinski claims, a platypus. And Catherine Standish just wants everyone to play nice. As far as Lamb's concerned, they should all be at their desks - when Taverner starts plotting mischief people get hurt, and Lamb has no plans to send in the clowns. On the other hand, if the clowns ignore his instructions, any harm that befalls them is hardly his fault. But they're his clowns. And if they don't all come home, there'll be a reckoning.

The book cover of Like Red on a Rose, with the title written in elegant, contrasting font. The borders resemble sculpted stone with ornaments. Below the title, a decayed drawing and partial view of the novel's stars. To the left, Rudella in all her Gothic glory. To the right, Piri the Punk. At the bottom, the author's name, Rathan Krueger, in an Art Deco font.
#Friends come and go, and not always for the best reasons. Sometimes, you learn from the breaks; other times, you make the same mistakes.
Hopefully, you learn from Rudella and Piri's before making a few fresh ones.

Copy of the author’s book that she is justifiably pleased as punch about sits on a table draped in tulle and dried flowers. It’s very womantic.
Being an indie author is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.
A few months ago I decided to lean into the arty side of being an author, and making little graphics like this and playing with my newsletter design is bringing me so much joy! 😊
