What a busy week it has been! I had initially planned to post about my experience of signing my book up for ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) sites, but a snag with EPUB formatting led me to change course. So, I thought I’d share the timeline of my self-publishing journey so far instead!
Four months to the day until THE END OF THE WORLD launches (Feb. 5th)! Yikes! Planning on sending ARCs out in November. Nothing like reading about a broken, #dystopian world right before Christmas, right?? Maybe I should send them out on #blackfriday 😆

Dumping some lore and artwork from THE END OF THE WORLD into my blog tonight! Learn about “mods”: half-machine, half-human, and fully slave. Earth’s future isn’t looking so nice…

In the desolate future of my upcoming sci-fi novel, “THE END OF THE WORLD”, the remnants of our Earth—shattered by an ancient cataclysm—suffer beneath the oppressive, alien reign of the Technocracy. Mods (short for ‘modified humans’) exist as a bleak symbol of humanity's enslavement.
Author proof of THE END OF THE WORLD is here, woot! I'm terrified to open it 😨

The genre of dystopia – the ‘not good place’– has captured the imaginations of artists and audiences alike for centuries. But why do we bother with all this pessimism? Alex Gendler explains how dystopias act as cautionary tales– not about some particular government or technology, but the very idea that humanity can be molded into an ideal shape.
Procrastinating, so I came up with a meme: my #writinglife vs my #worklife.
