When you binge read a book and feel simultaneously fulfilled because the story is EVERYTHING and also sad because it’s over. During my travels this past weekend, I listened to the audiobook for @gailcarriger ‘s fantabulous book, Defy or Defend, and finished it in just two days. I ADORE Dimity and Sir Crispin. Throw in a group of deliciously melodramatic vampires going to goth and I’m the happiest little book dragon. If you’re like me and have started to need all the feel-good reads, this book delivers! It’s one of those I wish I could go back and re-experience for the first time. Oh, maybe I should have a special shelf just for those books. What do y’all think? . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #gailcarriger #defyordefend #gaslampbooks #steampunk #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries https://www.instagram.com/p/CSzIl9PLjlx/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you order a load of books for book shows, you also gotta quality check them and then update inventories. Apologies for the terrible photo quality. My dining room has the worst lighting known to humankind. If you're interested in spunky steampunk books full of dynamic characters with secrets and competing agendas, found families, and female protags giving the middle finger to the patriarchy and carving their own path, here's some info. ... Pride & Prejudice meets H.G. Wells w/ a dash of The Hunger Games. . Lenore, a thief, is on the run from the law, from the brutal Enforcers. Just when she thinks she's found safety by assuming a new identity with a wealthy but eccentric family, she discovers they've got secrets of their own. Big ones. As does everyone in this series. And, of course, someone who knows her real identity is chasing after her. Will Lenore find the courage to forge her own path, or will she put her trust in the wrong people and bring this world of lies she's built crashing down? . Out of the Shadows is the first three books in the captivating Broken Gears young adult steampunk fantasy series. Fans of the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger and Garth Nix's Old World universe will delight as this Victorian-era-esque world unfolds before them. A multi-layered steampunk fantasy tale of colorful characters, lost magic and technology, and subterfuge that promises to entrance. If you like smart heroines, forgotten magic, and rich Victorian settings, then you'll love Lenore's intrigue-and-adventure storyline. . Buy it today to enter a steam-powered world of secrets! Available in ebook, print, and audio, here's the buy link - https://ift.tt/XHmh5gY - or check out the link in my bio. . . . . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries

Morning, friends! Whew! This past weekend was a whirlwind. The two weeks before that was a mad dash to get ready for the whirlwind weekend. Here's hoping I can get some regularity back into my schedule. In the meantime, check out the newest addition to my office! I haven't quite settled on a name for our cervid (deer) friend here, but I know I don't want it paired with the succulent quartet or anything. . Patreon rewards are going out today. And I'd like to get some editing done, yanno, since I'm a writer and all. And I need to do some more querying 😅. No biggie. But first, TO THE PLANNER! Have a great day everyone! . . . . . . . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries

What are you favorite craft writing books? I really like Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird" for writing process breakdown and encouragement and "Save the Cat Writes a Novel" for plot. #AprilAuthor22 . ... A pretty short post today because I'm trying to maintenance some of my dice making equipment today (I think I've got it!) and set up some social media while prepping for two D&D games this weekend--one I'm playing in and one I'm GMing. Have a great weekend, friends! . . . . . . . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries

What's your favorite POV to write in or read? Or least favorite? That's what we're talking about on #AprilAuthor22 today. 3rd-person is definitely my favorite--it's what I read the most of and how I write most of my books. I know a lot of people who don't like 1st-person, tho, and while that's not often my happy place, I definitely think there's a place for 1st-person POV. . When I started working on "Raven's Cry" years ago, it started out as 3rd-person because, well, I'm me. But as I was working on it, I realized 3rd-person was just a but too distant for such an emotionally raw story. RC is definitely a contender for the darkest book I've put out--there's a lot of pain and loss and heartache and evil in the book. . POVs are always a trade-off. You can show so much more with 3rd-person, but it's more distanced. With 1st-person, all you can show is what the POV character sees/hears/smells/etc. and what they think or *think* they know (unless they're a literal mind reader). But since you're with that person in their head all the time, you can get really close with everything that's happening with them emotionally in real time. . So I reworked "Raven's Cry" as 1st-person and here we are, just under a month from its 4th birthday. . . . . . . . . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries

Haaaaaaaave you met Bruin? Today for #AprilAuthor22 , we're talking about writing buddies. Who's your buddy who's always around, whether it's for writing work, hobby time, during chores, whatever. This kiddo is the best coach ever. Every day, after we're done with breakfast, he trots into the office (or to the office door if I shut it up the night before). He LOVES Mommy's work time becuase then he gets to sleep on the big bed *and* watch out the window at the same time. What's that? Oh, right. And Bruin would like to know if you'd like to be his friend because he loves EVERYONE. . . . . . . . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries

Day 2 of #AuthorApril22 - word count edit or status update. To be fair, I need to be fair to myself. I told myself I was going to edit today. I also told myself, for some reason, that I would work six outta seven days this week. Past-Dana, whaddaya doing? You know better, silly goose. So today's turned into a rest day and tomorrow I'll get back to editing my smooshy, queer steampunk cozy mystery romance. Happy Saturday, friends! . . . . . . . . . . . .#author #authorsofhinstagram #authorsoftumblr #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #steampunk #steampunkauthor #steampunkwriter #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries
