Also I accept and will be very brave about people reccing authors/books I have issues with, including some DSP authors, if that happens. But internally, I am going to be Bob Belcher and complain the whole time lol

Book 1,045: Scoring Position (#2) & 1,046: Winging It (#1) (Hockey Ever After) – Ashlyn Kane & Morgan James

Yes—I accidentally read these out of order. I didn’t realize Winging It was the first in the series and only figured it out 1/3 of the way through Scoring Position so of course I immediately had to download the first and start it right after. Overall, this series was good, and these first two books were well written, and the stories were engaging, but OMFG they were all entirely way too long, or…

👏 The Dreamspinner Press Controversy

[hollisshiloh]

Hi, I'm an author of gay romance stories. I had pretty severe writer's block for a while now, so the money is not coming in very fast right now. If at all. I would love to have help from tumblr to find some new readers for the stories I already have out. Some of my books are free, and a lot are available through your library (if they use Hoopla).

Amazon

Google Play

Hoopla

Payhip

ITunes

Barnes & Noble

Kobo

Scribd

My stories won't be to everyone's taste, of course, but perhaps if some people are willing to reblog or download a story, I will find some new readers, even though I haven't been super productive lately. I was doing all right when I could write a story a month, but that speed didn't prove sustainable for me.

I tend towards writing sweet and low heat, but not always, and towards shorter rather than longer stories (though not always). I've published with Dreamspinner Press in the past but now I'm exclusively indie (and planning to stay that way unless things improve in the publishing industry). I don't use Kindle Unlimited right now because the low pay wasn't worth giving them exclusivity.

Thanks for looking, and take care!

YOUR MOM'S NOVEL IS WHAT

HAHAH mom was huge into lotr cast rpf in the early naughts and wrote some really lovely viggo/orlando AUs, the two biggest of which were Breathing Room and Freedom. Freedom is the one she reworked into an original book and published with Dreamspinner Press years later. Check it out! (Lol I guess I have some newish followers lately so if you want to support independent authors you could always buy my moms book. She’d be thrilled!)

Cover Reveal: Out of Order by Casey Lawrence

A first look at my novel’s new cover art with JMS Books

A quick note from a friend and contributor to Writrs!

In 2015, I released my first novel, Out of Order, with Dreamspinner Press. After some shady business went down in 2019/2020, I pulled my books from that publisher. For a while, I was worried they’d be out of print forever, and that my writing career would be very short-lived.

But never fear, JM Snyder is here! I am pleased to announce that I will be re-releasing my first two novels and adding a third to the Survivor’s Club series with small queer press, JMS Books. Out of Order, the first book in my series, has gotten a total makeover with JMS’s artists and editors.

It’s all shiny and new!

About the Book

Before I reveal the new cover, here’s a little bit about the book, which is an LGBTQ+ Young Adult mystery novel:

Corinna “Corey” Nguyen’s life seems perfectly average for a closeted bisexual whiz kid with her eyes on college and a budding romance with her friend Kate. Sixteen years old and navigating senior year with her tight-knit group of best friends through crushes, breakups, and pregnancy scares, Corey mistakenly believes that running for Valedictorian, choosing the right college, and coming out of the closet are the biggest things she has to worry about. That is, until prom night, when she’s left alone and in shock, hiding inside a diner bathroom, the only witness to a multiple homicide.

With graduation looming and all eyes on her, the pressure is on for Corey to identify the killer and ensure that the crime that has changed her life forever will not go unpunished.

When it was first published, Out of Order was nominated at the 2016 Bisexual Book Awards in two categories, Mystery and Teen/YA Fiction, where it was runner-up.

Drum roll, please!

I won’t keep you in the dark any longer. I am so very excited to share the new look of my first novel, which is being re-released on April 22, 2023.

Stunning!

Here's another free (until December 25, 2024 11:59pm Eastern US Time) ebook for everyone interested in m/m romance stories

a little warning though - Andrew Grey is a very good author but also *very* likely to make you cry!

Greg Hansen’s pregnant sister is on bed rest, so it falls to Greg to finalize the arrangements for her best friend’s bachelorette party. Little does he know he’s in for a sweet surprise. When he arrives at the bakery recommended to him, he comes face to face with the man he never should’ve let get away—Rhys Denning.

Rhys’s business is booming with the holidays approaching, so he can’t agree to cater the party without help—and that means Greg getting his hands dirty in the kitchen, where the two reconnect over sugar, spice, holiday goodies of all kinds, and even some penis-shaped baguettes! But the most satisfying treat might be the second chance they never thought they’d get.

cleaning up my email accounts including the account I used to use for all my work stuff means finding a folder (from a previous cleanup attempt) called just DSP and in it are a bunch of the newsletters from Dreamspinner's "not paying/paying authors late/paying authors wrong and blaming it on weather/accounting apps/the pandemic/bad employees" era and I am really glad I saved those. oh my god.

I also have several emails from my day job at the time of the start of the pandemic of our DM (who works from home anyway) making fun of all the employees who didn't want to work with the public during a deadly pandemic for some reason. Weird.

Anyway, fuck DSP, but a special FUCK YOU, JAY to our DM.

(To clarify, this was March 2020. Italy was locked down. New Yorkers were dying. And California was seriously making plans "in case" a full shut down was needed--meaning the National Guard would be armed and enforcing lockdowns and curfews. So you can see a) why people wouldn't want to come into work for their low wage jobs and b) how I was a little stressed at the time.)

(Also it wasn't the pandemic, it was DSP's cultlike obsession with dominating m/m publishing causing them to take money from authors without consulting them and then lie about it. Badly.)

Seen the Mona Lisa in person; published a book (RIP Dreamspinner Press, you were the worst of us); met George Takei once; been to North America, Europe, and Asia

All the hyper specific polls remind me of the game Never Have I Ever. So guess what, that's what I'm doing. (Though I might include one that I have done so I can see the answers. Most being things that I would want to do.)
