Book cover for ShapeShifter: Demo Tapes (Year 3)
Book birthday or not, it’s going to be a quiet day around here, with nothing on the calendar. I SO need this, maybe even more than yesterday’s massage.
I’ll be finishing this series starter today. It’s the author’s third series and it’s fantastic. This woman can WRITE, my friends.
I can’t say too much, but when this comes out, I’ll definitely ask permission to let yinz and y’all know so you can pick it up.
Once I’m done, I’ll type up my notes and my letter to her, and then get it back to her. And then… invoice the next and, depending on the time, get started on the next one.
This is how I love it. When one project rolls into the next.
Because I work on Send When Ready, I almost always have space for new clients. If you need me, I’m here…
I wrote almost 2k words last night on Authentically Alyssa! Go me! I still am at a deficit for where I ought to be, given a 1k a day pace, but… we’re catching up.
Tomorrow is the first appearance of the West of Mars Author Group (as we’re slowly starting to be known) at the Block Northway Farmer’s Market. I’m super excited for this one, so if you’re in town, stop by to visit!
And of course, it’s Demo Tapes 3’s book birthday. I only have two print copies left in stock, so if you want one, better ask for it soon! I’m selling them as part of a four-book bundle: The first three Demo Tapes collections and then Trevor’s Song — they are so old, and I’d have redo the covers to bring them up to today’s standards, and it’s not worth the money I’d pay to the awesome artist who did the Demo Tapes covers… In other words, if you want to keep the Trevolution books in print, they need to earn their keep. Even at 99c for the ebooks right now, they’re not doing that (you can say they’re having a quiet day, maybe? But it’s been a lot of quiet days!). You can even get them for less at my direct store!

As always, that’s an affiliate link, so I earn a few pennies when you invest into a new-to-you author. Those pennies, like a portion of my editing fees and all of my book royalties, go back into operational expenses here at West of Mars. And if you just feel like throwing cash at me to say thanks for not paywalling this daily fun content, here’s my ko-fi.
My thanks to everyone who’s booking my services, buying my books, using my affiliate link, and just slipping me a few bucks. As we all know right now, with the world on fire, this is the sort of mutual aid that’s going to pull us all through together.
Hope you have a quiet day too!
