@OwenTyme@mastodon.social

I'm Owen Tyme and I'm a novelist.

I prefer to write action-filled science fantasy, though I sometimes write fantasy or science fiction, when the inspiration takes me there. I love grounding what I write in science, even when writing about dragons, witches and wizards.

Though I currently call Liberal, Kansas home, I was born in the California Bay Area. I've come to enjoy the mild climate of Kansas. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

What Happens When a Romance Writer Gets Locked Out of Google Docs: In March, an aspiring author got a troubling message: All of her works in progress were no longer accessible. What happened next is every writer’s worst fear. Remember, the cloud is just someone else’s computer https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs/

@nixCraft This is why I use LibreOffice, running on Linux, on my own hardware AND make regular backups.

When my work goes online, its through Draft2Digital, for publishing. Works in progress (WIP) do not get put online.

Reminds me of a critique exchange with another writer. I was super angry when I found out they put my work in Google Docs and then shared a link back with their notes as comments, because I don't post WIP online.

Google Docs has always been a problem in search of a solution.

Volume three of the Wizard's Scion is now scheduled for release on May 6, 2024, titled 'The Third Wish'! It will be in Ebook first, with print to soon follow.

In this novel, old enemies of Heart Forge band together and seek to alter history with a time machinel, forcing the Steel Wizard, Levi Jacobs, to take action, despite the pain of having recently lost his parents.

I've got awesome news! As you may recall, I recently talked about my books being added to a new Ebook store: fable.co.

Books2read.com seems to have started supporting adding book from this store to my sales links, beside the rest!

Poorly explain what you do for a living.

I'll go first: I pretend to be a penguin online.

@nixCraft One of two alternatives, depending on how you look at it:

A) I live in a fantasy world where demons are trying to conquer the multiverse, wizards and witches use magic to fight bad guys, dragons try to eat everything they can and forgotten gods try to get people to believe in them again.

B) I scrape dog crap off the floor of an old man's house.

I just made a couple of posts on my blog, though neither should be too surprising to those that have been paying attention to my posts on Mastodon.

@chiraag @bookstodon Mostly a matter of fewer middlemen. Draft2Digital is the parent company of Smashwords, so I get to keep more of the profits when my books sell there.

That's mostly why its my favorite for Ebooks, but they also support open standards and don't use DRM, so you can read my books on any device you like.
