I need to finish that novel that's 80% done... wait, I've got a GREAT idea for a cat-centric self-help book. Lemme just dash off an outline... #shortattentionspan

I needed a fictitious bottle label for a project, and it ended up amusing me so much I made a shirt. Available in many styles, including Boxy for ladies. So comfy. www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/9381...

Do you prefer eBooks or physical boo--- NO I CAN'T DO IT OMG HOW MANY TIMES WILL THIS QUESTION APPEAR IN SOCIAL MEDIA? Just read. I don't care if its papyrus scrolls or a 10 foot monitor with the text a foot tall. Or anything in between. Just read. The format does not matter.

If humans had longer lifespans, today would have been the 142nd birthday of my great-gramma, Minnie Etta Brown (McCubbin). She was born in 1884 during the Victorian era, and died 99 years later in 1983, just after the disco era ended. (more in my blog) www.brassbrightcity.com/2026/04/17/h...

If you've ever wondered what it was really like to be at Woodstock back in 1969, good news! I found a time machine! It looks just like a book! Read my review at A License To Quill. www.ceejaywriter.com/book-review-... #Woodstock #BookReview #ReadingCommunity

Amazon lowered the price of Parlor Poetry back to normal, so I tried to correct the sell price back to $28.00..... BUT THE DRONE STRIKES HAVE COMPLETELY MESSED UP THE PUBLISHING SYSTEM AND I CAN'T DO IT. Thank you Amazon, for playing this round of "Play Stupid Karma Games, Win Stupid Karma Prizes".

Lori Alden Holuta's Author Account@brassbrightcity· Mar 7

Apologies. The price of Parlor Poetry at Amazon careened out of control. Without warning they raised their production price TWENTY DOLLARS. I had to price it at $40 (up from $28) just to make a dollar royalty. I'm working toward publishing it elsewhere and will keep you posted. #BookPricing

I swear, the scammers preying on authors had nothing better to do today than email false flattery and promise the moon. EVERY time I checked my mail I had 8-10 more offers. Emptied a total of 41 from the mail trash. No no no no and NO. #BookPromoters #SnakeOilSalesmen #NOPE

Today is "Random Acts of Kindness Day"! I chose today to release the 10th Anniversary edition of The Flight To Brassbright, since Constance experiences acts of kindness throughout the book. It's available NOW in eBook at many online retailers: books2read.com/b/FlightToBr... (more info in comments)

I've published five books but my best seller this month is my humble cabbage cookbook. This winter is brutal. People are finding solace (and warmth) in cabbage. Need food that hugs you? Just shred it! #cookbook #cabbage #recipes #Foodie #ComfortFood books2read.com/ShreddingIt

I'm furious right now. Read my brief blog entry to find out why. If you're an author, you DEFINTELY need to know about this. www.brassbrightcity.com/2026/01/22/s... @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social #ScamAlert #Authors #Readers #Marketing

Today would have been Betty White's 104th birthday. She was a passional animal advocate, so I suggest making a donation in her name to your local rescue or animal shelter. (more in comments) #BettyWhite

*high fives myself* I did it! I caught up on all my overdue #bookreviews BEFORE the end of the year!
