Planet Of Lies is a sci-fi adventure story following an aggrieved space pirate, her on-and-off fiancé and alien vigilantes who want to take down the government.
The dialogue is witty, the narration is sarcastic, and the pace is breakneck.
Someone said that, as an indie author doing all my own editing, cover-making and marketing, I'm basically a one-woman publishing house and I've thought about that a lot.
Is that cool? It makes me feel cool.
If I was insanely rich and could afford to waste the print copies of my books, I would just go out and leave them in completely nutty places.
I wonder how many would get read? Would you pick up a random book you found in a lift (for example) and read it?
I've seen some preachy
#booktwitter
people hating on the idea of simply reading for pleasure and not wanting world events in every book.
I avoid politics in public places and media as much as possible. I have my own views, I keep them to myself.
Reading should be fun.
In other news, it's 2nd September which means that, for me, it's officially book release day!
If you like

Please tell me this is one of the bottles with the motivational comments down the side... It'd fit perfectly with all the 'spicy water bottle' comments people are making.
Especially if it says 'keep it up' anywhere on there.
I graduated today! I officially have my BA (Hons) In English and Creative Writing. So I'm qualified to write. Good to find that out after I wrote four books.

Just found out that I've had a short story accepted for publication online - which I'll be paid for!
First time being paid for short work, which in the past I've found so much harder than novels, so it means a lot to me!
Someone said that the

Anyone want to join me and share something?

Obsessed with action? In love with thrilling plots?
Need more laughter in your life?
I write breakneck, breath-takingly exciting plots of all genres... and each one has a touch of sarcastic narration, paired with witty dialogue.
Browse them all:
I have a new pinned tweet, would love to RT for RT, if anyone in the

Yes, I'm doing this again. Changing my pinned reminds you I'm alive.
I just realised I'm three sales away from having sold 100 books! Well, according to Amazon... That's not the official score because we're ignoring a few freebies and the untrackable KU downloads.
Well, I got my first one star review from someone whose complaints were a grammar error that doesn't exist, the fact the first chapter has "too many names" and formatting issues on kindle when it was done specifically for kindle. The only thing I can do with that is laugh.

Finally cleaned up my 'following' list. Got rid of all the scammers, bio-less accs, inactive people and accs I have no idea why I was following. Should just be bloggers, poets, authors and other writingcommunity people, alongside people I knew pre-twitter now.

I followed a bus with a grammatically incorrect advert on the back of it today. It made me very tense and grumpy. I think all this recent editing is seeping into my daily life.

Apparently, when I don't post book links, I get book sales, and when I do post links, I don't.
There are no links in this post. In fact, this post isn't even about books. It's about bananas. Bananas, bananas, bananas!
Convinced you yet?
Feels like I have a ton of followers and likes on my posts but only a handful of people actually interacting. What are the rest of you up to? Or are you just ghost-followers?
I haven't asked a ridiculous question recently.
If you were going to buy a book for a reason other than reading, what would the reason be? Holding up wobbly tables? Building a wall to block out annoying people?
Writers, what would be the best non-reading reason for a sale?

I feel so bad that I can't buy anyone's stuff, especially when they buy mine. But yeah, I don't have a job, my Amazon royalty is my only income. For the record, I just got my first payment and it's £3. It's not going to make me rich.

I don't normally post asking for likes, comments, or RTs. But tomorrow I'll be babysitting my little cousin. She's 10 and having a really hard time at the moment.
She likes to make superhero characters and I drew some of them. Can we show them some love so I can cheer her up?

Please actually READ my profile before you DM me. Asking 'Are you an author' to someone with 'author' in their name just proves that you're either a bot, illiterate or following a very stupid sales script far too closely.

Does anyone here massively prefer paperbacks and would be willing to pay more for them than an ebook? I'm considering setting them up
Okay, I retweet a lot of stuff. I support local businesses, friends, family and fellow writers.
But if I go to your page and it's entirely retweets, that feels like a red flag to me. I at least want to see something of you and your personality before I follow you back.

I don't often post personal stuff but I've officially finished my post-graduate studies. Just over a year of the most intense working and studying in my life and I'm walking away with a professional status and a Master's level qualification.
Hell yeah!
Seeing people claim that getting into debt to become an indie author is normal and I'm horrified.
You do not have to spend a single penny to fully edit, cover, publish, sell and get reviews on yours books. People who are telling you to spend are probably just after your money.
Seriously considering just carrying my author copies around in my handbag so I can whip them out and go 'Look what I did' at various intervals throughout life.
Alright, it's the last full week of

People who instantly DM new followers trying to get something are the cold callers of the internet and it's not a good look.
ESPECIALLY not if you're trying to bully people out of m&ms that are rightfully theirs!
Yes, I followed you back.
No, I don’t want to buy your book, fuck you, fuck your book, hear your sob story, join your newsletter, pet your dog (well maybe), see your pussy, get a discount, have you design my anything, and most of all share my m&ms

I know it's not logical, but I still get a little tense driving past a police car when I've a nosebleed because what if I still have blood on my shirt and then I somehow end up getting arrested for murder?
I haven't been doing writer's lifts lately. I took a break so that I could keep up with actual engagement as well and you know what? My sales, downloads and reads are all up. In fact, not one of my sales came directly from a lift.
Don't list link-spam, talk to people. It works.

So I've written and edited my own ebooks and paperbacks, created my own covers and graphics, managed my own social media and marketing, and now I'm considering making my own audiobooks. Am I doing too much? Maybe. Can I afford to do it the traditional way? Nope.

Dear scammers in my DMs,
Don't pretend to have read my books if you haven't. My books are actually sentient parts of my hivemind. I can sense if if you've never read one.

Do you think it would be actually possible for you to quit writing?
I don't think so. My brain constantly tells me stories, invents characters or produces random dialogue between people who don't exist.
If I didn't write it down, I would be completely insane.
In light of recent writing community drama about who is and isn't fake, I'd like to confess something.
I'm actually three chaotic goblins in a trench coat. Apologises if we deceived anyone, but we have been hoarding royalty money and licking book covers.
