Writerly Ways

I had a lot I wanted to say but since I'm on a roll today writing I think I'll just share some links and a cover reveal for me.

Have a look at my steampunk Christmas short story The Glow of Luminiferous Aether on Tinsel . It's my first with a new publisher. In fact, I'm looking for an ARC team. What it means is I have a certain number of advance reader copies that I can give out in exchange for a review on the day of publication (ideally) or there after (all reviews are good) on Amazon and/or Goodreads (sad to say it's Amazon that matters most because a story won't be pushed by Amazon's bots unless it gets 50 reviews or so says those who might know. If you're interested, PM me. See my cover and a snippet here

And if anyone wants a peek at the nano novel at some point let me know.
