Romancing the Runoff auction is live! So many other romance authors and I who care about the future of this country, and are inspired by fellow romance author Stacey Abrams, are raising funds to help support the Georgia Senate Runoffs by supporting Fair Fight, the New Georgia Project, and Black Voters Matter. Your bid in these auctions is a pledge to donate to these organizations. Click on the link to get to the auction link to see what fantastic items are up for bid from so many amazing people. I am donating items in two lots. One is a self-care bundle and one is part of a gift basket for the LOVE ALL YEAR anthology. If you don't want to auction, you can also donate directly. Thank you in advance for your support! #sjfbooks #romancingtherunoff #romanceauthorsofinstagram

It's blooming! A gift of an amaryllis from my uncle. I'm proud I've yet to usher in its demise. My track record isn't the greatest on that front. #sjfbooks #AuthorNotGardener #AuthorsOfInstagram? #Romancelandia

#Repost @angelakayaustin (@get_repost) ・・・ Writing a #book is half the battle. Now, as an indie published author, you have to consider, editing, cover art, marketing and distribution. How will the #reader get your book? How will they even know that it is available?⁠ ⁠ Don't forget to follow me on your favorite social media: https://linktr.ee/angelakayaustin.⁠ ⁠ When I began in this whole game of self-publishing, the major distribution partners for indie published #authors were Amazon and Smashwords. Of course, over the years more and more players have joined the game, but many have failed. However, Smashwords is still working with #self-published authors.⁠ ⁠ When #authors speak about "going wide" with their books, that usually includes distribution through the major players for electronic books: #Amazon, #BarnesandNoble, #KOBO, #GooglePlay and Smashwords. These resources allow authors to distribute their books across #America without incurring a lot of fees.⁠ ⁠ Join me as I chat with Mark Coker, CEO/Founder of Smashwords about book distribution. I think you will be surprised. I know I learned a lot.
