Reason why I don't like first-person perspective in books is because there is a chance I could be trapped inside the head of an idiot.

It has been weeks.
Goodreads has still not removed the several malicious book reviews I have received, and I've also have no new ones to boost these scores.
Thank you for supporting indie authors...

MG/YA, so about 6-7 hours.
Got a series in progress, and that is going to be some 25-30 hour monster.

I posted this on Reddit, and people somehow think this is all my fault, when as far as I know, your sales experience and mine are very normal.

Anyone want to see how much you earn from narrating and publishing your own audio books?
This is how much my Beautiful Dreamer book earned in one year...
$23.
FYI. A proper voice actor/narrator costs between $2000-$6000 a book.
Return isn't worth it.

Thin - Kindle edition by Krauss, Vanessa. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Thin.
Seeing a bunch of people calling romantasy tropes tired...
Who wants my Twilight Zone / Black Mirror-inspired Contemporary Speculative Romance book? I can guarantee there is nothing else like it.

A reminder to the hmm... *counting* 75 people that got my Beautiful Dreamer novel for free.
It would be greatly appreciated if you'd leave a rating or review. Please.
(And for those few who did, thank you!)

When I find myself agreeing with Kim Jung Un...yeah, USA and Isreal, you really shat the bucket.
Assuming Diaper Don could even make it to a bucket.

And some future author already got mad at me for shaming authors and readers who love Charlie Kirk, probably because they do too and don't want to be held accountable for their opinions.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
-sincerely, a decent author

I love it when people message and comment asking if I would like an editor or an artist, since it makes it really easy to tell who is legit and who isn't...
And who has the literacy of a parrot.
It says I am an artist on my profile! Why do I need you.

Author dedicates their next book to Charlie Kirk, has over 600 ratings on another book on Goodreads...
And I can't get people to read my books?
What does it take?! Bad people get book reads because readers don't care so as long as it meets a list of tropes!

My severely disabled (Downs and autism) uncle just passed away, and my dad was making jokes that they could chuck the cremated remains in the landfill since no one cared about him anyway...
Insert your rage here.

Now that the insane tariffs that Trump leveraged are considered unenforceable, I can now ship my books, CDs, and figurines from Canada to the USA.
Yay, a win for independent creators!

It's Smaswords Read An Ebook week, and my Beautiful Dreamer novel is included in the sale.
If you want a YA / MG sci-fi superhero action light novel that really leans into Spider-man: Into The Spiderverse vibes, come take a look!

And beta reading should never be a fee service. Editing is.

So if anyone is wondering who falls for a beta reading scam where the person charges $750 per 20k chunks of words and then gets mad to be told it's a rip-off (it should be a few cents per word).
It's the same people who write A03 Taylor Swift fan fiction.
Yup... there's always a sucker.

Romantasy and fantasy romance and whatever Booktok launched this 5-year-and-still-going trend is just yo momma's modern bodice rippers.

Romantasy authors need a gala and a ball to shove their character in a pretty dress...
Meanwhile in my books... MC's mom wanted to play dress up with her, one is an incognito escape outfit, and the last was a prank played by her uh...friend?
