"Silence was her shield and her weakness." ๐ก๏ธ๐ฉธ
A neurodivergent woman, a sick child, a cult survivor, and a very good boy. She'd burn the wasteland for them. ๐ฅ
A story of found family, protective feminine rage, and the brutal cost of survival.๐ค

Hello @PenguinBooks,
My indie book Hanneh is currently sitting at #1 in Hot New Releases in the Disability Fiction category on Amazon Sweden โ above one of your titles.
No big marketing team. No trending algorithms. Just the story and the readers who found it.
Sometimes the books that matter most arenโt the loudest ones.
I feel like people read the word โpoetry bookโ and run away screaming.
I blame schools for the boring way in which itโs taught. Making children memorise 25 poems for their exams puts them off reading poetry for life.
My poetry books are fun, quirky and insightful. ๐ in ๐

Every other Friday, I am taking off work this summer to spend some one on one time with my sweet stepson. Today, we went to the bookstore and are going to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and play Catan together. Whatโs on your summer agenda? โ๏ธ๐
ALT A fluffy black cat with very large round eyes peeks up from the bottom left corner of a soft teal-blue background. Beside the cat, handwritten white text reads: โI hope you smile today.โ
Blue thinks everyone is entitled to their opinion on what does/doesnโt belong in modern literature without being mocked, ridiculed, or name-called. Reading and writing are subjective. Always remember that. ๐
Perhaps if they were modernised a bit. ๐
Call me Ishmael, for fuck's sake.
Fucking hell, mate, you gonna be or not?
It was the best of times, and it was an absolute fucking shitshow.
Kids curse. They just f*ckin do. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Pretending like they donโt and stripping your YA novel of an authentic teenage voice does a disservice to both your book and your readers. So, f*ck it. Drop a couple of swear words in your YA manuscript. ๐คฌ
โ ๏ธ A scammer is impersonating an author: @CMichael_Author
The real Michael C. Grumley is from California USA, & does not have Twitter (according to his website).
He followed me. Realised I occasionally expose scammers, then panickedly unfollowed me. ๐

โ ๏ธ This is a scammer posing as an author: @NgocNguyenpeter
Two different names. Mismatching location. And the usual geolocation of Africa.
At least it makes a change from the usual marketing scam intro DMs, I guess.

Feeling like a total fraud today? ๐ซ
Welcome to the club. The membership fee is one existential crisis per hour, but the payoff is eventually writing something that changes a stranger's life.
