I've gained a lot of new followers recently. Hi! I'm a disabled author from the Netherlands. I write speculative fiction and run a twice-yearly indie sale. I don't auto-follow back but please reply if you love: Books Dogs Games Equal rights for everyone or hate: Gen-ai Gen*cide T*rfs

I'm currently editing the third story buuuuuuuut the women had a mind of their own so it's no longer a short story. It's more a novella length. Three more plus a longer story will follow! Seven books total of Victorian High Fashion Horror!

Looking for something short and spooky? Do you support women's wrongs and high fashion? Check out my two Court of Furies stories, A Dress to Kill For and A Dress to Save Me. Both can be read in 30 mins! https://itch.io/s/205325/halloween-sale-2026

Men's hoodies: POCKETS Women's hoodies: no pockets :( I know where I'm shopping. Can't wait for men skirts to become a thing. I want my pockets.

New review - Renfield meets Dracula, Appalachian vampires, media vs memory.

Due to the PHP mess, we were forced to update the site and it broke. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to fix it right away, so we decided to take our time, rework the whole site, and relaunch at a later date. www.narratess.com is out of commision for now. indiebook.sale does work!

Want a SPOOKY BOOK BUNDLE of 80+ books for just $69 USD for this Halloween?🎃 Get the "Chills, Thrills, And Kills" bundle, which features my YA fantasy short story collection "Found" and other spooky books by other indie authors! #booksky #writesky #bookbundle #halloween2026 #halloween

I'm also working on the third Court of Furies story. It'll be more like a novella instead of a short story, so no guarantee it'll be done by Halloween. The characters had a mind of their own, switching roles until the very end. But you can read the first two now! https://www.books2read.com/AD2K4

Almost done with my current beta read! It's so good.

We're looking at a decent outcome with the insurance, but any little bit helpd. Grab 4 books with all my short fiction today for only $10

Both shocked and impressed. She's going to cry the rest of the day after finding out, then take a deep breath, and get to it.

New review - Science fantasy novel infused with Chinese Opera elements, political intrigue, siblings trying to save all.

New review - Palestinian Gothic Horror, three generations of women linked by a house, horror as a vehicle to reflect a reality.

I don't watch many booktubers but Trinity is one I always watch. The way she talks about the books she reads helps me to decide if a book is for me or not. Even the books she didn't like, I might. She knows very well how to convey who a book is for. And she picks up non-mainstream books.

Tell a friend! Tell the group chat! Tell a stranger!

Happy book birthday! Congrats on this major milestone 😄🎉

THE HEROES WE NEVER WERE is out now! Book 1 of A Tale Of Fools And Legends War looms and a tragic disgraced drunk knight with an affinity for murder must investigate an assassination plot and can’t trust anyone but an arcane child and a huge dog Inspired by Hobb, Abercrombie, Lynch & GRRM

I love these covers! I can't wait to see them all together 😄

New review - a revenge heist that morphs into more, a ragtag of misfits, things are not simple.

With Fall Red Empire by @kerosero.bsky.social coming out in just a couple of days this is a good opportunity to remind people why the Burn Red Skies series is so awesome. This is my review of the first book, Burn Red Skies! pagechewing.com/burn-red-ski...

The #IndieInkAwards2025 winners will be announced in just a week! Check out the books I read and judged.

Dang, Patreon forced me to edit chapter 3 of 'Cove of the Fisherman's Wife'. Rather than change the story from what it was, I just cut the part they don't like, as omitting it doesn't kill the story. HowEVer, if you are interested in the full chapter 3, might I suggest you pick up the book?

This terrific book is now on cheap in the UK too, do not sleep on it! Judge it by its cover!

Heads up: @shimaira.com and I will be attending the Spice and Steamy book even in the Jaarbeurs, Utrecht, on september 26th! See you there!

hey @jheijndermans.bsky.social I have a question about comics. My friend is looking for a specific issue which is hard to get in NL. Do you know of a way to acquire it? Special order through a certain store or something.

I just finished this coming-of-age novella with lyrical prose. Look at that cover! Ships, floating palaces, vast libraries, and more.
