This is the absolute truth.
OWN YOUR STUFF. All other platforms change or implode.
I've kept the Beat hosted on its own platform for 22 years (at great personal cost) and that's the ONLY reason it lasted this long.

Think of the ten most popular authors you know. They probably don’t need preorders. But every other author *absolutely* does.
If there’s an author you like, but who your civilian friends wouldn’t recognize by name, that’s an author who needs a preorder.

The city smells like burning right now, and a bunch of folks just lost their homes. Apparently the email for sending monetary donations to people who’ve been evacuated from Collins, Whitesand and Armstrong due to wildfires is: [email protected]

Using the Trump threat as an excuse to ignore GHG emissions & bolster the fossil fuel industry isn’t in Canada’s best interests. The rich get richer while the vulnerable suffer & Canada burns.

Just encountered a fun new email scam! So quick reminder to my fellow authors, that Goodreads mods will never contact authors directly or ask for money in exchange for “spotlighting your book”
