Posted on April 10, 2008 by Jean Marie Bauhaus

Picking up where we left off. Mature content warning.

I would love critiques and pointers on my narration.

Hi there! With so many new followers it seems like a good time to do a #fridayintroduction -- so here goes: 1. Like this pic? It's from the author portrait shoot I did a few years ago with my photographer husband @7percent.solution and you should know that my hair is no longer that shade of red, nor is it usually so well coiffed. . 2. It's no longer that shade of red because I got tired of putting henna on it to cover my gray. I started growing it out not too long after these photos were taken, and by now the henna's completely gone. I like my natural shade of reddish blonde better anyway, even with the gray/white "wisdom highlights" (h/t to my friend Becky for that one). . 3. I write a mix of paranormal romance, dark fantasy and horror. I'm a hybrid author with a traditionally published PNR series and a number of indie titles under my belt. When I'm not writing fiction I'm a freelance online content writer as well as an editor and a writing and publishing coach. My first non-fiction book, Self-Publishing for the Broke Author, is coming out soon. . 4. I'm a Christian, but I don't write "Christian" fiction. I sit in the middle of a weird Venn diagram of faith, writing and sff fandom and I give a little squee of delight whenever I come across someone who occupies that same space with me. . 5. For personality-philes, I'm an Enneagram 9 with a strong 1 wing, although I can flip to an 8 wing if you get up in my face and push me. I'm also an INFP and an HSP which is why I don't often leave my house unless I must--a single trip to Walmart wipes me out for the day. I'm also a #spoonie, which makes it hard sometimes to stick to a consistent schedule, but I've learned to slow down and give myself a lot of grace. . There you go -- five more things about me than you probably cared to know. ;) But I'd love to know about you! Tell me what you write or share a random fact about yourself in the comments!

Messy hair work selfie. No, my web cam's not on, I just accidentally switched to my phone camera and realized it could see my reflection in my dark computer screen a lot better than I can.

We're well into the Christmas & Advent season. We've got a tree but otherwise we haven't even started decorating it yet. Is anybody else feeling way behind and struggling a little to capture the Christmas joy? . (Image via Cru.org)

Last year around this time, I was busy moving all of my shorter indie books — my short stories, novellas and collections–out of Kindle Select (for the uninitiated, that’s Amazon’s promotional program for self-published e-books that requires you to publish exclusively to Amazon, but which also makes your books available to Kindle Unlimited and Prime Lending subscribers) an into the worldwide e-book marketplace. . This week, I delisted them from all those other markets and moved them back to Select. . Find out why on the Publishing School blog at the link in my profile! . . . #selfpublishing #selfpublishinglife #selfpublishingcoach #selfpublishedauthor #selfpublisher #indieauthor #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #kindleselect #publishingwide #selfpublishingblog
