News Summary: Bookshop.org Sales Surge 55% to $70 Million; E-books Now 5% of Total Sales
We start the week with some good news that segues interestingly out of the news that many indie authors have found alarming at the end of last week. The indie corner of the internet has been filled with little other than discussion (much heated) of Draft2Digital's decision to introduce fees for new and low-activity accounts in the face (it claims) of a vast increase in artificially generated content.

The City & The City posted their 2025 bestsellers and we love to see a Stelliform book on the list! Also of note: the book is on the list because it is great, yes, but also because The City & The City read and loved it and recommended it and made it a bookclub feature. Indie bookstores are THE BEST.

Countdown is on!
At the end of 2025, I'm closing The Scribbling Lion as an indie bookstore and shifting focus to selling my own books.
There are still lots of great holiday gifts left on the shelves, and I'm about to post a very sharp markdown in service of ending the year with an empty store.
Check out the Shop, and watch the hashtag #scribblinglion for the sale to start!

I will also, in full honesty, note that I had to overlook a couple of "seriously?" moments. For instance, everyone seems to be able to run around and engage in combat for hours on end and not get tired. They just jump into the next adventure. That, I had to kind of squint past. A couple small things. But this book still lands solidly in the "worth reading" category.

And I just discovered I should use the tags #FediBookstore and #FediFiction. So there's that. :)

I finally read "Time Reavers" by Jacob Holo. I've had it in inventory but I've honestly been afraid to read it because a friend asked me to stock it for a convention.
I did read the preview chapter before stocking it, so I knew it was good writing, but I was hesitant to read the whole thing. Maybe because Holo has worked on books with Weber, and I don't like Weber's writing. Maybe because a friend was involved, and I'm always worried about disappointing a friend if I don't like a book they like.
But I've read it. And ... it's good. It's a really damn fun story, with lots of snark and fast, science fiction action-adventure pacing.
It starts out fast and stays there: a young woman finds herself separated from her school group in a busy train station. As she starts to search, she realizes that time has stopped all around her, leaving her the only movement in a suddenly very creepy world.
Cue a metallic monster erupting onto the scene, targeting her for a then-unknown reason, and the plot is up and running as fast as she is. Cue a snarky, irreverent rescuer, who whisks her away into a fantastical life of danger and secret technology.
It's a story about multiple dimensions, a secret war,, unexpected allies, developing friendships, and blowing up lots of bad guys.
In short (too late!), it's worth reading. Pick up an ebook at the usual places, or a print copy here:

So I love supporting #indiebookstores, and I signed a bunch of copies of AT HOME ON AN UNRULY PLANET at the hallowed Elliott Bay Bookstore in #Seattle. You can order them online here. (Put "signed copy" in the order comments.) It’s also worth it for the gorgeous cover art by Sarah Gilman—and the stories within. #bookstodon #cimate #mosstodon #writingcommunity https://www.elliottbaybook.com/item/bIBJ3YVWP3UgTOA-ovbdpQ?fbclid=IwAR0kjEWP3YczWW0EHnSekR09KGa0mcbwvq87b2ZYACDY781pBgSFxun3qFA&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
