Supporting Maui & Local Indie Bookshops
Mostly I’m working on several projects at once and educating the masses about sex in general.
BY THE WAY, If you’d like to read what I wrote, here’s a link to my blog and why “Gay Sex” doesn’t exist. (Hint - it’s all sex yo!)
Also happening is the #ReadForMaui and also #RomanceForMaui - both these are going on right now. Check out the hashtags and get involved or share them with others so folks can get involved.
Also, if you’re looking to support a BIPOC publisher as well as Maui, take a look at DYB publishing’s Maui page. Sign up for their patreon, buy books from their site, and 20 percent of what they make will go to support Maui.
Supporting Local Indie Bookstores!
This month I’ve been visiting indie bookstores in the local Austin Metro area and showing my support by setting them up with initial copies of my books for free. (Like a little M.L. Eaden starter pack!)
Here’s the deal. It takes a lot of money, time, and effort to keep an indie bookstore running. There’s limited space and people power to maintain a large offering of books.
I’m putting my money and my marketing skills out here to support our local independent bookstores. They’re giving me a little bit of shelf space and time to see if my books will sell in their shops.
So if you’re interested in giving one of my books a shot and you’ll be visiting the Austin Metro area at some point, stop in and ask for a copy at one of these awesome places.
You can also order my books from The Black Pearl Bookstore (North Austin) via their store website and The Book Burrow via Bookshop.org
Other things happening:
I’ll be at The Book Burrow for the Grand Opening on August 26th. If you’re in town and find me there and would like me to sign your book, I’ll be there enjoying the event and I’ll have a pen! I might even have a bookmark or two if you’d like one!
WhIPs Update:
A Thief’s Promise is clocking in at 25k+ and I’m happy with how it’s developing.
Mythical Desires Short Story Collection is right around 70k+ which is cool! I didn’t realize I had that many short stories hanging around. I’ll start editing in September with the idea that the book should be out there sometime in October (*fingers crossed*)
SGC - The Dragon’s Egg is the next book in the SGC. I’ll start editing in November targeting a release date of March 2024. Look out for signups to beta and arc read toward the end of the year.
ENJOY! ~M
