  1. I’ve Got a Secret (Well, Not Anymore): My Books Are Now on iBooks!

    I still remember the first time I held a story I’d written in my hands. It felt like magic. Today, I get to feel that magic all over again, because I’m thrilled to announce that my books have arrived in the Apple Books store! Whether you’re curled up on the couch with an iPad, sneaking a chapter on your iPhone during lunch, or diving in on your Mac, you can now carry my stories with you anywhere.

    Here’s what’s waiting for you:

    Dead Heart Longing

    Genre: Fantasy/romance

    If you enjoy romantasy and stories revolving around myths and legends, you will love this book.

    Blurb:

    Enter a reality where the living and the dead coexist.

    Gesar, who was once a mighty king, now roams an ancient Tibetan castle as a ghost. His heart, as cold as the snow-covered mountain tops and consumed with bitterness, melts when he meets Nur. She is a woman like a warm summer breeze drawn to history and untold pasts. And their love will defy time and stretch beyond the human lifespan.

    Yet, the shadows of forgotten conflicts threaten to extinguish the spark of their fragile relationship. As their fates collide, Gesar’s long-dead heart stirs with an unfamiliar warmth, and Nur faces an impossible choice. Should she save the cursed soul she’s grown to love or condemn him to eternal solitude?

    Fairytales with a Twist 1-3

    Genre: Fantasy/fairytale retelling

    This series is very special to me. These are the stories I wanted to read, and since no one else was writing them, I wrote them myself. The three retellings of the fairytales we grew up reading are for readers who love unpredictable twists and familiar characters.

    In this bundle of three stories, you will find:

    Somewhere in Time: a retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

    The Mirror: Snow White’s story retold.

    Through Time: a fantastical retelling of Rapunzel.

    Which one will be your favorite?

    Untouched Petals of Our Hearts

    Genre: Poetry

    Sometimes, words are all we have. And in our deepest moments, they are never enough.

    This collection lives in that sacred, aching space between solace, sorrow, and beautifully complex moments of life. These poems are at once heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Here, you will find verses that cradle heartache and kindle joy, often within the same line. These poems are perfect for anyone who has ever sought refuge in language. Let them be a gentle companion, offering not answers, but understanding; not a cure, but a balm of love and hope, one verse at a time.

    Danger Dead Ahead

    Genre: Cozy mystery/murder mystery

    About the Story:

    Even the known roads we take can bring us to unexpected turns that alter the course of our lives. When Jahan Fatima decides to give up her job to travel the treacherous mountains of Northern Pakistan, she doesn’t expect it to involve murder and mayhem. Soon, her quest for justice will lead her down a perilous path where myths and legends come alive.

    Sometimes, familiar trips down memory lane can take you to places you’ve never explored, and that can change your perception of reality. When Maalik returns to Chitral, he doesn’t plan on reopening the old wounds. Yet, some events are so painful that no amount of time can erase the agony. Soon, his curiosity will take him down a dangerous road where his past comes back to haunt him.

    Together, Jahan and Maalik make an unlikely pair of sleuths. Yet, they might be the only ones interested in uncovering the truth behind the gruesome death of a mutual friend.

  2. After the latest #iPadOS update #ibooks no longer works, which means I cannot read any of my purchased books. I tried everything the web suggests, the only thing left is to downgrade to an earlier iOS version and upgrade from there. That’s a real hassle :-(

  3. In 2008 I remixed the get a mac commercials here is one of them in short form.

  4. #Ebook fans: Which of these platforms will allow me to buy a DRM (or generally vendor-lock-in) free ebook purchase? #Kindle / #Nook / #Kobo / #ibooks

  5. If Apple was really smart they’d know that pretty much the only time I open the (i)Books app is when I’m about to travel or actually traveling; the rest of the year it’s like, ain’t nobody got time for that!

  6. #apple #ebooks #ibooks #epub

    Apple iBooks is a great way to read books - but only on Apple devices such as an iPad.

    When you want to use an e-Reader for instance and buy Books at the Apple Bookstore, it seems there is no way to move the books over.

    But there seems to be one.

    I found this solution and maybe someone can try it out though I do not own an e-Reader yet ...

  7. My friend is having an issue syncing #AppleBooks from her #Mac to her #iPhone the good ole' fashioned way using a cable. (She has slow, rural internet so iCloud doesn't work very well for her.)

    She has about 200 epubs in Books on her Mac, but they don't appear in Finder Sync when her iPhone is connected. She can only see the books she's purchased from Apple. Anyone ever experienced this, or any suggestions to fix? #iBooks #Apple #TechSupport

  8. The “reimagined” #iBooks #UI in #iOS 16 is shit. It looks so bad that even the buttons that pop out of that floating turd button look like turds. It works even worse.
