Just a quick note from your friendly neighborhood bookworm/indie author

if you use kindle for the majority of your library, they will be shutting down the function that allows you to download your files and transfer them via USB on the 26th of February. Which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but this also means that if a book is taken off Amazon for any reason—like it being banned—they can scrape it off your kindle as well. So maybe backup your library?

Edit: as an indie author I feel like I should make a small note that this is not an excuse to say “fuck Amazon I’ll just pirate my books”. Please don’t do that. No one’s reaction so far has been that but I’m begging you not to react that way. That doesn’t hurt Amazon it hurts authors.

Some alternatives are

- check and see if the author sells their books on other marketplaces. Hint: any not enlisted on Ku are probably wide

- check your library. If they’re not at your library request them.

- if all else fails, reach out to the author. I have 100% hunted down a way for my book to be available to a reader that couldn’t access it for whatever reason. And I’d do it again.

Just for the love of 🧀 don’t pirate them.

Have another TLT WIP.

What if Alecto adored her reflection as the descendent of Anastasia?

“When she had been earlier born, and less self-conscious, sometimes she would rest her face against the mirror's face, and try to reach her reflec-tion. Camilla had caught her kissing it once, and had written about six pages of notes on that, which was humiliating.” —Nona the Ninth

"Time’s up," he said. "Give this to Cam for me, will you?"

And he spread Nona’s fingers like he always did, and he quietly kissed the second right-hand knuckle.

The little sketch request post may I posit: Post-Nona Harrow and Paul hug, Harrow is uncomfortable but her body is very used to the feeling (I’m inconsolable)

I spent a lot longer on this than I meant to, but I also felt like it was Necessary, ykwim? ໒꒰ྀི⸝⸝´ ˘ `⸝⸝꒱ྀིა
