As usual, a little late to #selfpromosaturday, but I'm happy to say that someone got a copy of episode 2, so I'm already ahead of last month's sales :) By lovely coincidence, that's also the episode I'm showcasing this week bsky.app/profile/maik...

Oops, almost forgot it was #selfpromosaturday once more Here's hoping the TTRPG community continues to grow under bluer skies, so we can all enjoy our weekends As for me, this weekend I'm promoting the 2nd episode in the Princesses of the Pizza Parlor series www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

RIP my latest little ballpoint pen, the last of its pack You did well, little pen Now to buy another ten-pack from Daiso

It's the last #selfpromosaturday of the month and sales are... Well, there's been a sale, at least Singular It was for this episode of the Pizza Princesses: bsky.app/profile/maik... So maybe check and see what the (minimal amount of) fuss is about?

It's a new month and a new #selfpromosaturday! Time to start back at the beginning with episode 1: Princesses Don't Do Summer School www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

It's rainy season now, but #selfpromosaturday endures We've reached the end of the Pizza Princess promo cycle (until I publish the next few episodes), so here's one with a bit of personal connection to it bsky.app/profile/maik...

Back for a new year of #selfpromosaturday and a new story to show for it! In and out of game, it's all girls trying to impress girls Results may vary, but they'll definitely be entertaining www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Oh my frickin' pantheons... I'm getting flashbacks to 2005, seeing the Minstrel Song promo videos in the store for the first time... And OCTOBER 24, WTF??? youtu.be/tj_cfyPw9tU?...

Actually getting around to #selfpromosaturday on the day of, for once This time we have the most recent of episodes in the main story, and it's all about witches and the homes they keep May they forever be wyrd and wicked bsky.app/profile/maik...

It's the last #selfpromosaturday of the year, and the last of the Pizza Princess episodes to promote (for now) Who shall be the Wickedest Witch? There's some competition for the title. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

#WiPWednesday! This month (and the next, and possibly part of August), I'm working on the third and final book in a science-fiction creature feature sort of story that's probably gone off the rails I'm 18% to the goal, measured in notebook pages used Roughly 15k wordcount

I've had a soft spot for this truculent little dood since the very first season of the anime.

STOP ✋ If you are reading this, you've reached a Pokémon check point. You're now obligated to share your favorite Pokémon. he is simply peak design

For this #Selfpromosaturday (or whatever day it is now), I'm leaving the princesses in their pizza parlor and bringing out the lovable Japanese animals www.amazon.com/Tanuki-Teapo... #Japan #folktales

OK, the self-publishing sales report for May is as follows: Adjusting for the (admittedly awful) exchange rate... ... ... ... I received exactly one convenience store latte in royalties This is up from April, where it came to exactly one piece of candy, but still...

New Story Release for Whateley Academy Dirty Deeds Don't Come Cheap (Part 5) This week we have a Whateley Academy Gen 2 story by MaLAguA. Dealing with Mutant Powers and Blackmail is never fun. whateley.academy/index.php/co... #WhateleyAcademy #Fiction

Is it still #selfpromosaturday? Or maybe Sunday instead? Happy June, in any case Have a story about less-than-happy gnomes and the problems they bring with them #ttrpg, #ttrpgkids, #YAFantasy bsky.app/profile/maik...

Once more #selfpromosaturday, and let it not be a boring one! To that end, we have ep.11, "The Most Boringest Gnome in the World" The moniker may not be 100% accurate www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Whoops! Haven't done #selfpromosaturday in a couple weeks Let's change that Today, Princesses of the Pizza Parlor episode 10: The Cutest Harpy on the Cliffs, in which two of our heroes make a side trip while everyone else is at summer camp bsky.app/profile/maik...

It's #selfpromosaturday once again, and this week we have disarmingly adorable harpies Well, one such harpy The rest hold to far different aesthetic standards Fair is foul and fowl is fair, in the end www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Grr, got all these little animal and bird pics I want to share off my phone, but first the thing starts exporting all photos in a proprietary format a few months back that requires editing to work with other stuff, and now it's JPG and MOV files that don't work with anything else? >_<; stupid phone

For #WiPWednesday, my perennial #MerMay writing project continues to be the weirdest revision history of anything I've ever done It's equal parts composition, heavy edits, and re-compilation at this point. Working my way through to the point where I probably don't have to change anything else

Oh yeah, #Selfpromosaturday What do we have to promote this week? How about a full novel's worth of summer camp #TTRPG shenanigans? bsky.app/profile/maik...

#selfpromosaturday continues once more, and this time we have Cookies and Campers, a Pizza Princess paralogue novel When life sends you to summer camp, take the game along with you www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

#selfpublishing sales report, May 2024! Taking into account the current exchange rate, the total comes to... ... ... ... ... ... one piece of candy seriously this one piece of candy right here which is better than nothing, I guess

#WIPWednesday status: Pizza Princesses episode 13 manuscript is done, typing now!

It's... not Saturday here right now. Think it might actually be Monday. But let's get a #selfpromosaturday post in, a little ex post facto In episode 8, it's time for a fun little sea voyage. What could possibly go wrong? (Yes, it's a long list) bsky.app/profile/maik...

It's #selfpromosaturday again, and thus time to plug the next episode of Princess of the Pizza Parlor! Ep. 8, Princesses on the Broken Sea www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #ttrpgkids #ttrpg

The forces are marshaled at the desk. A new school year begins.

For #selfpromosaturday... oh yeah, I need to do this >_<; "Princesses in the Darkest Depths" features a guest GM, a good ol' dungeon crawl, loss, love, and kobolds Oh, the kobolds... bsky.app/profile/maik...

It's time for the weekly #selfpromosaturday post! This time, it's for Princesses of the Pizza Parlor episode 7, "Princesses in the Darkest Depths" And if the girls had their way, they're never going into another dungeon run ever again www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

It's been a busy two weeks, but #selfpromosaturday is back with a double-header The Redemption of Princess Isabel (a.k.a. the Pasta stories) follows a guest character from the main Pizza Princesses episodes as she tries to be better than the mess she was on that one visit to the main game

It's #selfpromosaturday again, and I realized I'd not mentioned the side stories yet! These two come after Episodes 6 and 9, respectively There's another after Ep.10, and a 4th coming out soon! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...
