In eigener Sache:
Ich werde im Januar 2026 alle meine Selfpublishing E-Books bei Amazon deaktivieren. Das heißt, dass neue Käufe nicht mehr möglich sind. Sie werden weiterhin via Tolino Media (d. h., in allen online Buchhandlungen außer Amazon) erhältlich sein.
Grund dafür ist eine neue KI-Funktion, die Amazon einführt. Details gibts hier im kurzen Blogbeitrag:

#ScribesAndMakers Dec 14 - Shameless someone else promotion day.
No question who I want to promote, my beta-reading buddy, an inventive and insightful author who is facing the wall that many of us hit - pouring your heart into your books and seeing them disappear into the maelstrom with barely a ripple.
It would make my day - and I'm absolutely sure hers - if one or two people picked up her book to read over the holiday period.

My third novel is now live! Harvest of Shadows is set in the Songs out of Time universe, but takes place in an alternate time line. If you’d enjoy a sci-fi…Stella Jorette

Welp, #myday is off to a great start #today. 💪
As I sat n sipped and scrolled while basking in the sunshine, the wife went out and made us our Sunday hearty breakfast. 🤗
So, it's sitting n chewing on French toast n breakfast sausage all smothered in a generous pouring of maple syrup to go with my coffee sipping this morning. 👌😁
What a great way to start ones day. 👍☺️

I recently finished Taliesin, Chief of Bards by @AlexCorby and I absolutely loved it. I didn't know a lot of the Taliesin lore going in but it's a really great story and kept me reading page after page. A lot of great suspenseful moments and a great magic. Check out it if you like medieval/Arthurian fantasy stories. Can't wait to read the sequel!

Maybe they can switch it to be an ice cream festival. It can stay "snowy" while helping people beat the heat. 😅

Shameless someone else promotion day!!
Ugh! Why do you do this to me? They're are so many great indie authors on this very hashtag. Buy indie!
I guess my favorite of the ones I read this year is Dionysus in Wisconsin by EH Lupton @pretensesoup
But she is annoying me right now cause I couldn't remember her handle, nor easily look it up 😫 🤣
Still, great book, I read it in 2 days.

#WordWeavers 14. Are your characters incapacitated by injuries, or do they brush them off as flesh wounds?
Oh, I have the *perfect* snippet to answer this!
(CW for talk of violence and grievous wound, but it's not descriptive):

Shout out to my dear friend Jessica Meats and all her great SF&F works. I've known her 20~ years, read a lot of her works in development, and proofread and edited some in a professional capacity.
For many years she maintained a queer reading list.
She's a kind, wonderful person and her books are original and fun.
