@Howard_Lovy @IndieAuthorALLI Thanks so much for having me on. ♥️

[Michelle Winkler @MWinklerBooks]

I was nervous as heck to be interviewed on my first ever podcast. Howard was fun to talk to though, and it came out ok in the end 🥰 A big thanks to him for having me on ♥️

When will these big platforms learn that how they treat those who create content is just as important as how they treat those who purchase content? 🙄
I do hope @SoundCloud steps up and does the right thing for #indieauthors 💔

.@SCforArtists We're following up on our emails re pirated copies of our members' audiobooks illegally uploaded to SoundCloud. These operators on SoundCloud have hundreds / thousands of pirated books, making your platform an open forum for hosting illegal content. We contend that asking #authors / #publishers to submit individual DMCA takedowns for each audiobook is unreasonable. It seems you have no proactive preventative system in place as for example @YouTube does? Do you make any attempt to shut down accounts that are mass-posting illegal content? All of this seems to be at variance with your commitment to creators. Let us know your thoughts. Many thanks

@IndieAuthorALLI @SCforArtists As an #indieauthor who's researching platforms to publish my #audiobook , I'm now heistant to use @SoundCloud If this is how they ignore their members rights, I want no part of them. I can only hope they step up and do the right thing for those already affected.😟💔

The paperback version of my book is on sale for 56% off, if that's something you were wanting a copy of.

I dunno when the sale started or how long it lasts!

(It's a tragedy, not a romance... Don't read it if you're looking for mushy feel goods!)

Neck deep in revisions and I'm tired of my tea getting cold 🤓
Any #writers out there have a favorite 'stay warm' mug they can recommend me?
Yes, I know Amazon probably has a ton, but I want a writer's suggestion.❤️❤️

@ta_hernandez5 Aww, I hate technical difficulties 🥺 they can be so frustrating, especially with a time crunch. I think you still have plenty of time though. It’s not til end of next month, right?❤️❤️

[Michelle Winkler @MWinklerBooks]

😃What's your favorite trope or story element?

With Dust on the Altar, I wasn't thinking about which elements to include. It was just a happy accident my favorite tropes fit.🥰

This is the first mood board I ever made. It's for Jade's boss, Richard Whetstone. Some are obvious, others have hidden meanings that you may not understand unless you read Dust on the Altar and it's companion short stories. (Shhh… spoilers!)

The chapel in Dust on the Altar is a sacred space, created by nature to be a protective place, where witches can commune with the Goddess.

The 2nd image is a 3D rendering created by Adale Kolenovsky which inspired it.

One city ruled by technology.
One township losing its magic.
One reluctant witch could bridge the divide… or bring ruin to them both.

"How are you?"

"Idk man, I don't remember anything from before waking up this morning, but now these weirdos are telling me I died and I'm cursed or something, and we need to travel all the way to another country to figure out what's wrong with me."

[CourteneyWrites @ bsky @CourteneyWrites]

"How are you?"

"Idk, man, this interdimensional metal dragon showed up and said this other lady and I could help save humanity but it means we'll have to travel a bunch and potentially face giant acid spitting beetles. You tell me."

[Michelle Winkler @MWinklerBooks]

@ta_hernandez5 Oh no! I hope yours come through in perfect condition 🤞❤️❤️

[Michelle Winkler @MWinklerBooks]

@CourteneyWrites @ta_hernandez5 That’s such a pretty shot. 😍
I will watch it

[Michelle Winkler @MWinklerBooks]

🥳DOTA is a dark adult fantasy, with Pagan witches and a touch of sci-fi. This spooky, fun read is set in an alternate Earth timeline, where cities are ruled by technology and their citizens have marginalized witches to the nearby townships.
