I read that Forbes article in my last blog post (Online publishing is winning SF&F) too uncritically. When it said, "Indie-published authors may be just 48% of the SF&F market", it was taking its earlier statement,
unit sales of self-published and Amazon-published ebooks ... constitute a full 48% of all SF&F sales across print, digital, and audio.
and pretending that it had said
The last chapter of my contest entry is now published.
The story is now complete.
All that’s left is to wait for the judging to see if this story has what it takes to win the contest. Let me know if the story delivered the punch as it was supposed to.
Hey everypony!
Just writing to let you now that we have a brand new story to read, so make sure let me know your opinions and suggestions of what you would like to see in the next chapters.
As promised this will be a longer project and, if it turns out to be successful in the end, it will be developed in a nice little anthology.
I wish you all a happy Sunday!
As always your

Do you suffer from lack of sexy in your life?
Suffer no more for salvation has arrived:
I also intend to win a writing competition with this story.
PS. Can somepony please tell me why this story bombed so hard? Like, I was actually daydreaming of a feature box. The story had everything: enticing cover art, engaging description, easy-going comedy... Where did all the downvotes come from?
Hello everyone!
So it's been a little over two years since I left the site. In that time, I've been working on original works with the hope that I'd become a published author someday. Well, that dream has come true! Of course, not with a big, established publisher like Penguin or Scholastic or whoever exists. I followed in the steps of my uncles and put my book up on Amazon as an independent publisher.
Okay, so it occurs to me that, while I have run a few updates for book one, and I am currently writing the second book assuming those updates went through, you may not have updated your e-book to the current version. Kindle does not automatically push out those updates to you all, so if you want the most up-to-date version, you'll need to manually update the book yourself.
The first volume's first half has been prepared and ready. However, to insure the quality of the book itself, I am refraining from making it available until after my proof copy has arrived and I can look it over for anything that could use some adjustments. I will be setting the price for $10 for each book, below the original recommended price. I will update everyone soon.
While I am steadily taking the time to figure out exactly how to use Lulu.com's printing services, I need to figure out exactly how I'm going to get these copies of Volume 1 printed. After discussing possible approaches with another writer on the site who has had his works printed, I've decided to run a down-payment campaign. If anyone wants a copy of The Lost Element's first volume, let me know and forward a $2 payment per copy to my Paypal account. Once the printed copies have been produced
It's done. Had quite a learning curve, but I finally got the hang of Lulu's interface to do my best to make for the best quality possible for these books. Illustrations are still out of the question due to having color publications jacking up the cost into the 70s and black & white illustrations just feel wasted while some you can barely make out what's going on in them. However, I am delighted to see that the font changes turned out well for when different characters write the chapters,
So my first published book is out on amazon for purchase.
The Heart of Fire Episode One is about three girls fresh out of magical school are looking for their place in the world after the loss of a close friend. Meanwhile an ancient evil is waking from its deep slumber. Can these three heroes defeat the new villain or will they be consumed by their grief?
This morning, I listed every eligible entrant in a text document, one per line, and used random.org's random number generator to pick line numbers. So...
Congratulations to NaiadSagaIotaOar, Emptybee, and CircuitMane! If you're reading this before reading your PMs, well, go read those and get back to me!
The fine folks at Ministry of Image are printing new short-story collections themed around Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. If you’ve been following really excellent authors like Skywriter, Horizon,
While my last blog entry I just did not too long ago focused on a lot of negative things, I wanted to focus on some more positive things. My Story "Moon Eyed" was just supposed to be the name of Hex's intro story. Instead it's not blossoming into a full series that I intend to write out. I'll fully admit that I was inspired when I saw the FimFiction booth at Bronycon. I had no idea that fanfics could become physical copies of books that people would actually want to buy. That's my aim here. I
I announced this book last month in my Everfree Northwest 2023 release round-up, but I felt it deserved a standalone post announcing its online availability.
Hey folks! Post-LTUE post here, based off of a couple of conversations I had at LTUE with other authors (be they at the green room, signings, panels, etc). It’s straightforward enough to jump right to the point, so I’ll ask it:
When will the next big shift in publishing hit?
So, after my blog post the other day, I decided to start a group: The A.K. Yearling Society for Original Writers
