Supporting Maui & Local Indie Bookshops
Mostly Iâm working on several projects at once and educating the masses about sex in general.
BY THE WAY, If youâd like to read what I wrote, hereâs a link to my blog and why âGay Sexâ doesnât exist. (Hint - itâs 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 youâre looking to support a BIPOC publisher as well as Maui, take a look at DYB publishingâs 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 Iâve 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!)
Hereâs the deal. It takes a lot of money, time, and effort to keep an indie bookstore running. Thereâs limited space and people power to maintain a large offering of books.
Iâm putting my money and my marketing skills out here to support our local independent bookstores. Theyâre giving me a little bit of shelf space and time to see if my books will sell in their shops.
So if youâre interested in giving one of my books a shot and youâll 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:
Iâll be at The Book Burrow for the Grand Opening on August 26th. If youâre in town and find me there and would like me to sign your book, Iâll be there enjoying the event and Iâll have a pen! I might even have a bookmark or two if youâd like one!
WhIPs Update:
A Thiefâs Promise is clocking in at 25k+ and Iâm happy with how itâs developing.
Mythical Desires Short Story Collection is right around 70k+ which is cool! I didnât realize I had that many short stories hanging around. Iâll start editing in September with the idea that the book should be out there sometime in October (*fingers crossed*)
SGC - The Dragonâs Egg is the next book in the SGC. Iâll 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
