Dreamspace Dispatch: Season 2, Episode 4 – Blooming from Ashes

The author reflects on the desire to restart a novel, "Allison's Awakening," but realizes that its foundation is strong. Instead of scrapping everything, they focus on revising the voice, pacing, and scenes to align with the intended adult cozy fantasy genre. The process emphasizes patience and the value of revision over starting anew.

Please boost and/or check out my ebook to help my chronically unhoused family find a happy ending similar to the one I wrote about.

My first book, “Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is a family friendly book that I hand-wrote and illustrated about my experiences with childhood trauma, complex PTSD, and homelessness.

Thank you for supporting our attempts to live, rather than simply survive. 🫶

In early 2020, my daughter dropped out of kindergarten to write her first book. I've been told a second edition is in the works.

Hey #Bookstodon!

Olive says you should go to Books2Read.com/ElectoralGraduate and buy this book on the #ElectoralCollege.

It's a #NewRelease out today from a #FirstTimeAuthor, and speaking as that first time author, I'm pretty proud of it.

It presents a powerful case against America's most cantankerous electoral system.

Dear #Bookstodon:

Greetings from a #FirstTimeAuthor. My book, "Graduating from the Electoral College," hits shelves today. You can order it wherever books are sold through the following link:

Books2Read.com/ElectoralGraduate

I've sent copies to experts in a handful of different fields as well as to book reviewers. So far, everyone thinks this is a key book to read to learn more about the #ElectoralCollege - readable enough for a general audience, with enough depth to interest experts as well.
