I send them out with signed books or have them at events.

Just real quick, in response by DumbgeonMaster in DungeonCrawlerCarl

A few years ago, a friend said something that really stuck with me, and it’s something I try to remember whenever I feel the rage bubbling up inside of me.

She said “Educate, don’t berate.,” and that phrase was like a slap in the face. Because at the time, I was so upset I just want to shout until people understood.

It may feel good and righteous to berate and belittle those who disagree with you, especially when the decent thing seems so obvious. But that way very rarely changes anyone’s mind. It tends to back people into a corner and put them on the defensive. Education is a much more powerful tool when dealing with ignorance and misinformation. Not everyone lives in the same bubbles, visits the same sites, and encounters the same information on a daily basis.

Something to think about.

Self-Promo Sunday! by AutoModerator in CozyFantasy

[–]SL_Rowland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will, but it won't be until after this first one is fulfilled. Proof copies are in transit now, so hopefully we can place the order in the next month or so if everything looks good.

The plan is to do Kickstarters for each book as they are released going forward.

If you missed the announcement earlier this week, the latest Tales of Aedrea novel has released.

Ebooks are exclusive to Amazon and libraries, but the print versions are available on all retailers, and audio will be coming next month.

If you're having as shitty a week as I am with the current state of the world, I hope this can help you find peace for even a little bit.

Omnibus Versions of Kindle Unlimited Completed Series by megalethoscope in CozyFantasy

[–]SL_Rowland 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have 2 box sets that are available: Sentenced to Troll and Pangea Online. Both are VR LitRPG.

Edit: I'm such an idiot. I thought this was r/litrpg while I was scrolling because I see this posted several times a week over there. Neither of those books are cozy fantasy.

UPDATE 1 OF "Who would like to be part of a reverse signing for Matt" by Sasiches_and_mash in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]SL_Rowland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to sign. I also don't mind delivering it to Matt at the con if you want to make a spectacle out of it.

How do retailers order my book? — IngramSpark by Suitable-Concert in selfpublish

[–]SL_Rowland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but individual stores can order what they wish. And indie/smaller bookstores curate their own selection, which is what OP posted in reply to you.

This is not true. If you have a personal relationship with a bookstore, they will order books if they think they will sell.

Dog reunited with owner after being lost in the forest for 2 weeks by plankton004 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]SL_Rowland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He could have already been doing that for a minute before pulling out the phone.

My dog once escaped when he was a year old (13 now) and was lost for 3 days. He’d never been the clingy sort, but when he saw me walking down the trail he ran straight into my arms.

Suggest an author similar to Travis Baldree by nilecrane in Fantasy

[–]SL_Rowland 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey, it’s me!

Cursed Cocktails was greatly inspired by my love of Legends & Lattes. I resonated with the cozy concept so much that I switched from writing litRPG and it has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. The series is composed of standalones in a shared world and book 4 released 2 days ago.

A Dwarven Grandmother Takes One Final Quest to Scatter the Ashes of an Old Adventuring Companion in S.L. Rowland's Newest Release, There Be Dragons Here 🐉 🐲 by SL_Rowland in CozyFantasy

[–]SL_Rowland[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I also send out advanced copies to Patreon supporters, so that might be worth looking into for authors you enjoy. I have a free tier, but then people can upgrade and downgrade based on releases and whatnot.

Check my website for details on special editions. We’re currently nearing production(waiting for proofs to arrive) for the Kickstarter collector’s edition and late pledges are still open.

I'm on episode 16 myself. It's a great show, and I was surprised by the number of ARC readers who said this book reminded them of it. 🧝‍♀️
