🌟 Indie Author of the Week – Friday Finds – January 23, 2026
D.L. Orton
D.L. Orton writes smart, ambitious time-travel science fiction that explores not just when the world changes, but how. Each book in the Madders of Time series follows a different thread of time-jumping consequences, weaving recurring characters, objects, and choices into shifting timelines that feel both intricate and deeply human.
📚 Featured Book: Madders of Time: Book One
Thoughtful and high-concept, Madders of Time launches a time-jumping series where each choice reshapes the future, and no timeline exists in isolation. It’s the kind of story that rewards close attention—and lingers long after the final page.
I’ll be continuing the series with a review of the next book in early February.

💬 Reader Contest Question of the Week
I’d love to hear from you!
Do you live in an area where the weather gets wild enough that you end up homebound? What is your favorite cozy or fun thing to do when that happens? For me, I love enjoying a cup of hot chocolate while working on a jigsaw puzzle.
🗓️ Contest closes February 1, 2026 at noon CST.
🕯️ Tip of the Week
This is your permission-to-slow-down week. If it helps, here are a few gentle ideas to choose from:
- A five-minute reset habit
- An unplugging ritual
- A cozy evening routine
- Letting one thing remain unfinished
🌿 Closing Notes
As always, thank you for spending a little part of your week here with me. Whether you are organizing one small space, settling in with a good book, or simply giving yourself permission to rest, I hope something in this week’s Friday Finds added a bit of comfort to your days.
Stay warm, take good care of yourself, and I will see you back here next Friday.
