I am an author who writes character-driven fiction. Where to buy my books:

Some of my IRL #indieauthor friends got together and made a website.

I know the link looks sketch, but it worked fine for me! 😆

Check it out!

Updated shorthand to refer to each #virgiliochronicles book:

• Supernatural Dating - SD - Dating
• Art of Lies - AOL - Art
• An “Elixir” For Everything - AEFE - Elixir
• One’s Trash Is Treasure - OTIT - Treasure
• All That Glitters - ATG - Glitters

Pick your style! 😂

I officially got the first three books of the #virgiliochronicles series in a rural library system! 🥳

Now I wait to see if another system picks the books up! 😆

@FilipJWrites Adorable lil’ guys!

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

If I EVER seriously try to get beta readers, I’m making them fill out forms. 😂

That way, I can tell who is real and who is a Virgilio (scammer) trying to steal my stuff. 🤣

And yes, there shall be legalese in there to protect myself. 😆

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

Yes, the baby turtles are appreciated…

So I’m reposting this to brighten OTHER people’s feeds! 😁

[Filip Janik (writer) @FilipJWrites]

Throwback Tuesday? 😂😂
Anyways brighten up your feed with a few baby turtles (now several kg heavy)

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

To be COMPLETELY honest with you all, if I suspect someone is a bot or a Virgilio (scammer), I block and don’t elaborate.

I’ve seen so many of the same question phrased the same way that frankly, I just get sick of seeing the same words. 🤣

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

@RealJimSnell Pretty sure it’s just a “billboard,” so to speak. I actually have no idea how long they plan to keep the website up.

It’s basically free advertising for me plus all the rest of my author friends (exclusively for the ones I know offline)! 😁

Closest to co-op, I think.

@creatively_comp I self-published.

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

@creatively_comp Never hired an editor because I can’t afford them. I actually did my own editing! 😆

#BookTwitter - forgot to tag lol

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

@RhysMerilot @SDDonovan Same! 😆

[Despoina | Book Marketing Visuals for Authors @DKemeridou]

There's a version of "author advice" that's really just a pile of rules someone invented and now recites at you like scripture. Post every day. Be on every platform. Never talk about yourself, only "provide value." Never mention your own book, that's salesy. Try to obey all of it at once and you'll end up exhausted, invisible, and sounding exactly like everyone else obeying the same list. I've watched authors with genuinely good books shrink themselves to fit rules that were never true to begin with. Keep the two or three that actually fit how you work. Let the rest go.

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

Isn’t the whole point of small talk is to make friendly noises at each other?

Like you aren’t really trying to be friends - you’re just passing time.

I heard small talk be referred to as that, and I thought it was a funny way to describe it. 😆

2/2

Methinks Hazel, Doria, Ingrid, Beulah, Cesar, and Carla will get fans first… 👀

[A. Rhetters @ARhetters]

At this rate, it looks like these books will be more likely to get “enhanced editions.” 😆

Sure, the treasure one and the art one were free promos at one point, but someone literally bought the dating book! 😆
