    Nonhuman vs Furry?

    People will call anything vaguely anthropomorphic "furry" these days. I wrote two books about shapeshifters who change between animal and anthropomorphic forms, and who run around naked in the forest, and they called ME a furry too. Edit: also, you're a badger. So aren't you pretty much a furry...

    I'm looking for a story with satire.

    I'm not sure what your personal definition of satire is, but if you're just looking for all-around comedy, my Henry Rider series has you covered. The first chapter of the third book just went up today. If you're looking for books that actually satirize a specific idea, my I Applied for a...

    It's time....

    Back when I actually had this mythical thing called "free time", I would do April Fools chapters. I would also do Christmas chapters, Thanksgiving chapters, and pretty much every other major holiday. For the holiday chapters, the whole story would suddenly come to a halt and I, the author, would...

    Got it, thanks for the replies!

    That's the other thing I meant to bring up. I make $100 per 4000 words, and by professional writing standards, that's pretty much working for peanuts.

    Got it, thanks for the replies!

    Nobody will take you up on it. Pretty much everyone who's ever written anything on the internet has had the same idea, and it never works out. They think people will pay for stories the same way they commission drawings from artists, but the market just doesn't work that way. You're better off...

    What’s the greatest compliment you have received from a reader?

    Dang, and I thought my commissioner was giving me a good deal by paying me $100 per 4000 words.

    How to be funny and still be a good writer?

    Why do you think they have to be mutually exclusive? Henry Rider: Clown Hunter is pretty much predicated on the idea that a story can be funny, intense, and dramatic all at the same time.

    Not as bad as I thought?

    Only because anyone on that site who isn't an author is a bot trying to scam you. I've been on Honeyfeed for about three years now, and I finally deleted my account when I went through my alerts and saw that I'd only received three non-bot comments on any of my books, and that was a year and a...

    I got problems with followers.

    Count yourself lucky. I don't even get bot comments on my stories.

    Spammers Damage Trust Between Authors and Readers

    Well, it's here if you want to check it out, but it's probably not getting a fourth book.

    Spammers Damage Trust Between Authors and Readers

    I tried that. Turns out, nobody wants to read urban fantasy action comedies about magical teenage clown girls but me.

    Reverse, Reverse!

    Henry yells at a fat guy in the hospital before going to sleep and waking up in the Grand Lark, stabbed and beaten to a bloody pulp. Her grandpa puts a mind control talisman on her forehead, and her friends proceed to heal all her injuries with a series of magical time reversing attacks. Henry...

    How many covers has your book had?

    1. I was in my early twenties and didn't have a full time job back then, so Kory was too expensive for me to keep commissioning. 2. I was expecting this level of quality for that price... ...and ended up getting this level of quality. 3. I wanted all the books in the series to look the same...

    How many covers has your book had?

    How many times have you had a new cover made for one of your books? For me, The Slayer and the Sphinx holds the record with six covers for a two-book series. The first one was commissioned by Kory Bing, artist of the webcomic Skin Deep. But her prices were really high, and the art wasn't the...
