Marketer: At minimum, share Shepherd book list.
Week of Sick has not recurred, but a lot of energy has gone into domestic stuff—navigating a kid situation, finalizing vacations, a solo weekend with the kids, medicating a friend’s parrot for anxiety. Unfortunately, I have no reason to expect this week will be calmer. But a couple weeks’ semi-steady writing have at least greased that that groove again.
Shepherd, referenced above, is a list of themed book recommendations by authors; see, e.g., Christopher Ruocchio’s The best science fiction books for fantasy readers. For readers, it’s a source of recommendations not owned by a book retailer; for authors, it’s a way to promote your books to readers with related interests. I don’t know whether the business model makes any sense at all, but seeing as I’m trying to find alternatives to social media for connecting with readers, it felt worth a shot. As I was saying, I’ll write a proper post about it later.
This week’s image is a medicated bird. (“Then who’s the little green guy?” I hear you ask. Ha ha.)
