Shout-out to Alex and the awesome co-hosts for today: Beth Camp, Crystal Collier, and Cathrina Constantine!
Oct 1 question - What is the most favorite thing you have written, published or not? And why?
I still love my (Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Myths and Legends, Speculative Fiction, New Adult, "Superhero Fantasy") Existence series, the first of which is Fractions of Existence. I still get giddy on the rereads at certain scenes. (My favorite being when Xavier and Wend are at the pier.)

Jewels of Darterra— New novelette, only 12k words. A fantasy about a world on the brink of change. (Comp title, perhaps, Allegiant- book 3 of the Divergent series, because the society collapses and the main character is betrayed by a former ally.) Only .99cents at Barnes and Noble!
I was thinking if they were going to charge for it, yes it's a scam - and they do! Never pay for stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounds like a scam. I've been getting lots of scam emails offering to help me promote my nonexistent book.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, people are crazy! Yeah, scam 100%. You know, urban fantasy used to be my go-to genre. Still quite fond of it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a scam. And happy to have you co-host in February.
ReplyDeleteBeware of those scams. They're so annoying.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wide range of writing/reading interests. I love that.

Anything that asks for money is likely a scam, or at least very sketchy.
ReplyDeleteThe one that I did not understand was awhile ago on BlueSky, when people were going around pretending to be famous and semi-famous authors who were... just chatting with people, pretending to be random authors. They didn't appear to be asking for anything, they were just getting off an catfishing people, I guess? I exchanged several pleasant and encouraging messages with someone I thought was Annie Proulx (author of Brokeback Mountain and The Shipping News) before they suddenly disappeared and were banned by the platform. Very odd.
I'm a fan of your Existence books. That scam is cruel. Banned books, are you taking part?
ReplyDeleteLooks like my BookTube review came just in time :-) I've learned the hard way that most anything to do with book marketing that should be free (reviews, etc.) that costs money, is a scam. Though it's banned book month, I think I'll stick to reading ARCs I'm behind on.

I've been getting so many of those scam emails recently too. And other ones that claim to be from really famous authors who have just loved my book and want to help me spread the word. Yeah, right....
ReplyDeleteTotally a scam. You have to watch out for them! I haven't read Fractions of Existence. I'll have to check it out.
