(Not AI, I hired an artist). Laina Hughes is abducted by an alien species and taken to a space station where scientific breakthroughs thrive—and where war crimes are quietly buried. She must find a way home, and she must find a way to protect Earth. #scifi

I was hoping the reviews on the new Mandalorian movie weren’t correct. They were. Bad pacing Villains and characters we barely know and don’t care about Fetch quests Almost no clever dialogue #Mandalorian #StarWars

I’ve been getting better at that, haha
Do you ever buy books you plan to read… while still having a whole pile you haven’t touched yet?

Wonder is why people love to read sci fi and fantasy!
Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder. E.B. WHITE #writing #artist #painting #Hollywood #Leonardo #wonder

I enjoy writing but it’s certainly hard. I do love the feeling when a new suitable literary agent opens up again though! #amwriting #querying

There sure are much easier ways to make a living. Writing a good book is a Herculean task, and then you have to query, win a publisher, and market. #storytelling #amwriting

Readers can tell if we’re passionate in our writing. But the market remains supreme.
As indie authors, we get to build a business around the writing we're actually passionate about. I hope for you the work actually feels meaningful... not stuck chasing what someone else wants written.

Still querying. Not giving up. Some stories are worth telling. #YAscifi #youngadult #sciencefictionbooks

That’s a huge deal! Congratulations, Joy!
I'm delighted that 'A Family Affair' has been shortlisted at the RNA awards (crime thriller category) to be held in London in 6 days! It's a story about the complex Gardia family which I hope will have the reader turning the pages well into the night! It's available to read on #KindleUnlimited #newrelease #booksworthreading mybook.to/8Mtw
