David Rider ✅<p>My <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kobo</span></a> Clara has arrived! I celebrated by purchasing the ebook version of my favorite <a href="https://c.im/tags/StephenKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenKing</span></a> novel. Then I added my first self-published story from 2015—a personal take on an apocalypse, inspired by <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheStand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheStand</span></a> (with monsters).</p><p>Starting this Friday, I’ll be offering my work on platforms other than Amazon for the first time. I’m still getting things ready, but 99-cent pre-orders for this story are already live on the link below for Kobo, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Smashwords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Smashwords</span></a>, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/BarnesandNoble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BarnesandNoble</span></a> (among others).

David Rider ✅<p>On March 20, 2022, I released my novel We Are Van Helsing - Book Two, which wrapped up the duology I began in the first book. It told the tale of Ilse Van Helsing, a woman whose family legacy has been targeted by a powerful, dangerous mastermind.</p><p>At the time, I didn’t know those books would form the core of a mythology that continues to this day—spinning off a solo novel featuring my Romani vampire Anca, with more stories in the works.</p><p>What I do know is those books have filled me with an incredible sense of accomplishment. The advice is true: if you write a little each day—say, during a pandemic, before a full-time job—you’ll eventually finish a novel. Mine ended up being 194,000 words and needed to be split into two books. I learned a lot about my craft. I felt excitement when the characters wrested control from me and took the story in unexpected, amazing directions. And when I finally held both paperbacks in my hands, I experienced the pride that comes with being an indie horror author.</p><p>Here’s to the three-year anniversary of WAVH: Book Two! 🥂<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieAuthor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieHorror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SupportIndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupportIndieHorror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DavidRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DavidRider</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WeAreVanHelsing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreVanHelsing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AncasUndeadPlaylist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AncasUndeadPlaylist</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZ8DFG8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">amazon.com/dp/B0CRZ8DFG8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
