Head Over Feels - Bix Barrow

Bix Barrow has a new MM contemporary romance out (gay, pan): Head Over Feels. And there’s a giveaway. A luscious pet massage therapist, a gorgeous but grumpy ex-FBI agent, and glitter bombs gone deadly… Malcolm: I shouldn’t be jealous of my cat. I am, though. Her pet massage therapist (who knew that was even a thing?) is exactly my type. Smart, funny, and adorable with just the right amount of meat on his bones.

Tales to Tide You Over - Margaret McGaffey Fisk - Dropnauts Review

Just got an amazing, detailed review for Dropnauts from Margaret McGaffey Fisk at Tales to Tide You Over: “One of the best aspects of this story is how we see the characters work through situations in live, problem-solving sessions… The book offers rich descriptions so we can envision what the characters are seeing and experiencing in a tangible way. … a lovely story about times of change and the haunting past.

And if they ever decide to shut you down, which Amazon has done before, you are entirely at their mercy. If instead you decide to go “wide,” it means you are selling your books through multiple different vendors. I started out my indie … Read more
