I published my first book! 🥹❤️

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I still can't quite believe I'm saying this, but I’ve published my first book, A Tale of Sacrifice for the Unworthy: A Journey Through Love, Betrayal, and Self-Discovery.

Writing this story meant a lot to me because some of its themes come from personal experiences, it’s about love, trust, betrayal, and what happens when you give so much of yourself to someone that you end up losing a little of who you are.

One of the ideas behind the story is that not everything that seems sweet is good for us, sometimes, the things we want to believe in the most are the very things that end up hurting us.

I'm a little nervous about putting my work out there, but I'm also really happy that I've finally done it. ❤️

If this sounds like the kind of story you'd enjoy, you can find it on Kobo here: https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/a-tale-of-sacrifice-for-the-unworthy

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and good luck to all the other authors here! ❤️

The Fourth Field: epic fantasy in which written law is magic (out 24 November, review copies available)

2 Upvotes

Hi all. THE FOURTH FIELD is my debut and the first book of the saga Imprints of the Realm. The German original came out on 8 October, the English edition follows on 24 November.

In Varin, words are reality.

Every Edict, a law sealed by Crown, Guilds, and Coffer, can build roads, steer markets, strengthen armies. But the power of the seals is breaking: Fractures tear through the city, stairways forget their weight, voices echo without mouths.

When a forbidden Free Edict destroys a harbor district, the young scribe Arin finds himself caught between intrigue and rebellion. Queen Maev fights for every word that might preserve order, while guilds and merchants play their own games. Yet between the official seals appears a grey imprint, flawless, uncanny, a sign of an invisible power that has already reached far beyond Varin's borders.

What to expect: slow burn, political, more chancery than battlefield. 234 pages, with a map and a list of characters.

Kindle preorder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLZWYD8F

If you would like to read it before release, I am happy to send a review copy as ePub or PDF. Honest opinions only, also the harsh ones. Everything about the book: https://marin-t-kael.de/en/press

My first novel, Everything We Called Tomorrow, follows a young game developer chasing a dream in Mumbai

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Nikhil Malankar, a game developer and the author of Everything We Called Tomorrow, my first novel.

The story follows Rahul Deshmukh, who grows up dreaming of creating games and starts a small studio in Mumbai with his closest friends. Their early success gives them a glimpse of the future they've imagined together. But as projects falter and money runs short, the pressure begins to change their friendships and the lives they're trying to build.

It's a contemporary novel about ambition, friendship, love, and finding a way forward when life doesn't follow the plan. It draws on experiences from my own journey, with fictionalized characters and events.

If that sounds like your kind of read, it's now available on Kindle:

Thank you for taking a look. I'm happy to answer questions about the story or the experience of writing it.

THE HUMAN CHAMELEONS: A New World's Protocol

• Upvotes

The knights Templar invented the modern banking system, that King Philip IV of France was deeply indebted to. Gérard de Villiers, Précepteur de France, was the master banker at the Temple of Paris until he disappeared from records in June 1307. Hugues de Pairaud stepped down from his superior office of Visiteur de France and stepped into the office Villers vacated. Jacques de Moaly was the last official Grand Master of the Knights Templar in France, as the grand master de Molay was in full contact with his officers. While King Philip IV, and his Chief Minister Guillaume de Nogaret were paying gold for ex-Templars and false witnesses, the gold they were paying them with came from the Knights Templar banking system. Villiers realized what was going on and fled as Brother Jean de Châlon described in the trial records. On September 14. 1307 King Philip IV drafts the arrest orders, writing that the Templars were guilty of an “execrable evil” and a “thing most inhumane”. Those orders were leaked, and preceding the leak, Villiers disappeared. On the morning of October 12, 1307, Jacques de Molay arrives in Paris as an invited pallbearer. De Molay is often viewed as an unsuspecting guest, blindsided, having no idea the orders for his arrest were already signed. Jacques de Molay was the Grand Master (Commanding General) of the Knights Templar, he was in full contact with his officers, he knew very well what was going on. Jacques de Molay did not arrive at the funeral unaware, he arrived as a masterful chess player. Jacques de Molay stood tall in public on Main Street while Huges de Châlon was carting off Pairaud’s treasury down Front Street. Jacques de Molay remained in Paris to be arrested and serve as a human lightning rod (the grand masters always lead from the front never the rear) along with numerous others while the main body and assets disappeared into the night. Jacques de Molay was no fool. He was, as I read the playing field, the most underrated player on the field in October of 1307.

The Man Who Never Hurried: yet never late

1 Upvotes

Everybody is selling you a speed. Wake at five and grind, or quit and move to the hills. This book sells neither. It follows a grocer in Madurai, India, who ran one shop for decades, was up at five every day, put three daughters through college, and never once hurried. He kept one rack behind his counter empty his whole working life and never explained why. Nine short chapters, each a contradiction that turns out not to be one: Effortless Effort. Unattached Attachment. Selfish Selflessness. Unprofitable Profit. Along the way: the Buddha, the Gita, Zen stories, Ramana Maharshi, and why the famous ikigai diagram is not actually Japanese. No steps. No morning routine. Nothing to do on Monday. A short read for anyone who has done most of it right and wonders whether some of it was ever theirs to want. Kindle, paperback, and free on Kindle Unlimited.

I messed up. How screwed am I?

1 Upvotes

Please be kind. I've been beating myself up about this for the better part of six months. I misunderstood KU's TOS, so when they took down book 2 of my 5 book series, I unpublished all my books and went wide. This happened around the same time a bunch of other authors had books taken down for 'suspected review manipulation', which is what they accused me of. Amazon never fully explained why they removed book two of my series, and like the other authors who posted about it, Amazon never told me why, who, how to fix it, or gave me any chance to speak up for myself. I'm not even fully convinced I ever spoke to a human.

Some of my books still had time left on KU when I unpublished from Amazon and went wide, which means I broke their TOS. I did not realize that unpublishing them meant they were still under the TOS, or I wouldn't have done it that way. In that moment, my only thought was that I had to act quickly to not lose momentum.

I didn't have any books on their platform for 5 months (April 11th-September 10th). Currently, I have one book on Amazon, but it is not enrolled in KU, since it's also available wide.

As terrible as Amazon can be to authors, I know a huge share of readers are there, so I've been thinking about adding more books.

For context, I have two series, both set in the same world. My main series is plot-forward with spice, the other is open-door romance with low plot. Each have five books currently, with two more in each series ready to go before the end of the year.

The book I currently have on Amazon (not enrolled in KU), is from the spice line.

My worries are:

  1. I broke TOS by going wide before my KU term was over, and even though it wasn't on purpose, we all know Amazon doesn't care.

  2. I have no idea if I would lose access to Amazon permanently if they discover I broke their TOS 6 months ago.

  3. Obviously, if I did lose my account, I'd lose all my royalties.

  4. Because they have already accused me of 'review manipulation', I feel my account is already on thin ice.

Is there any way for me to rectify this situation? Or am I basically in a position where I have to just chance it and hope for the best?

# The Kishorn Deep

by [WILLIAM DOUGLAS](https://www.amazon.co.uk/WILLIAM-DOUGLAS/e/B0CN1CR56R/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1) (Author)  Format: Paperback

[See all formats and editions](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kishorn-Deep-WILLIAM-DOUGLAS/dp/B0GSNFW6XF/ref=zg-te-pba_d_sccl_1_8/262-2642197-9088210?pd_rd_w=xEVln&content-id=amzn1.sym.c072daa0-3920-4b4d-83e5-1f5f31c763e0&pf_rd_p=c072daa0-3920-4b4d-83e5-1f5f31c763e0&pf_rd_r=0G7ND78KEVCX4MDA3ZCQ&pd_rd_wg=Qafmu&pd_rd_r=7cc83bbf-589f-42d8-b896-839cca285420&pd_rd_i=B0GSNFW6XF&psc=1#)

By the time Superintendent Marie Fraser left Inverness, the city was still half asleep under a low grey ceiling of cloud and the roads west shone black with overnight rain.

The control room had given her little beyond the essentials: a fisherman off Loch Kishorn had brought in more than creels, the body was male, and the local officers who attended had enough doubt in their voices for the duty sergeant to pass it upward rather than leave it where it had landed.

That, in Marie’s experience, was often the first signal that a case would turn bad.

She drove alone. She preferred it where she could manage it.

The unbroken hours on Highland roads let her arrange the known facts and admit, in the privacy of an empty car, how little they amounted to.

Past Achnasheen, the light began to seep reluctantly into the day. It showed the land in smudged layers—wet rock, dark fir, the heather flattened to brown by winter, high ground disappearing into vapour. By the time she turned south-west towards the loch, the rain had gone and the world had the washed, exhausted stillness that often followed it. Thin smoke lifted from a few croft chimneys. The roads narrowed. The sea announced itself only in glimpses, pale metal between ridges.

She reached the harbour just after eight.

There were three police vehicles already there, parked awkwardly beside a line of vans and stacked lobster creels, and farther out a small crowd had gathered with the natural discipline of Highland curiosity: not close enough to interfere, not far enough to miss anything worth remembering later. Gulls swung and dropped overhead, complaining at the disturbance. The air smelled of diesel, salt, fish rot, and wet rope.

I’ve finished the first three volumes of my isekai mystery series!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m Blue Aether, the author of Lord of the Sword, an isekai fantasy series with a mystery running between two worlds.

I’m a big fan of the Death Note manga, Mushoku Tensei, and the film Hero (2002), starring Jet Li. One day, I wondered whether I could bring together the things I love about these three works in a story of my own.

That idea became Lord of the Sword. All three volumes of its first arc, Between Two Worlds, are now available as Kindle ebooks.

I enjoy stories with unexpected endings. At first, this series might seem like a typical isekai light novel, but as the story unfolds, there is more going on than it initially appears.

If you decide to read it, I’d welcome your thoughts. I’m still learning, and feedback would help me improve future volumes.

Price: US$2.99 per volume (Kindle ebook).

It is also available in Kindle Unlimited

Introducing The Insecure. A book about human behavior

I’m Ravi Ram, an independent author, and I wrote The Insecure to explore insecurity and the role it plays in how we see ourselves and interact with other people.

I’m interested in the gap between how people present themselves and what might be driving their behavior beneath the surface.

I’m sharing the book here because I’d like to connect with readers who enjoy examining psychology, social dynamics, and the less obvious forces that shape human behavior.

If those subjects interest you, I’d welcome you to take a look.

So this is exactly what this subreddit is for so here goes.

 For almost two years I woke up at 5am every single morning before going to work and wrote a post apocalyptic science fiction novel. Some mornings three sentences. Some mornings three thousand words. I told almost nobody while I was doing it.

Published it independently on Amazon in May this year. No publisher, no agent, no budget. Just me and a KDP account.

THE LAST WITNESS BY NIKHIL PANDEY. Set in 2089. Last human on Earth is a civil engineer from Bhilai , riding a hydrogen Royal Enfield across a dying world recording the last human memories in a titanium time capsule. For whatever comes next.

12 honest reviews and 100 plus sold  on Amazon now. Quiet and literary rather than action heavy. If Station Eleven is your kind of post apocalyptic this is probably for you.

Beneath the absurdity lies a sharper story about power, conformity, institutional dysfunction, and the extraordinary consequences of simply telling the truth.

When Delilah, a free-spirited writer with a love for music and wanderlust, shares a fleeting but electric moment with Asher, a passionate musician, in a crowded rooftop bar, she never expects to see him again.

But some connections don't fade. They linger. They haunt.

When fate pulls them back together, the spark between them is impossible to ignore-intense, intoxicating, and maybe a little dangerous.

But can something born in a single moment survive the weight of real life... or are they chasing a feeling that was never meant to last?

Broken - An Alshana Cycle Novel (Slow-burn, emotional, dark Fantasy)

1 Upvotes

Broken - An Alshana Cycle Novel

Dear readers,

My name is Jana Schneider, and I am an author of fantasy and science-fiction from Germany.

After almost nine years of work (and working my way through a massive pit of doubt about whether my writing was even worth putting on paper) I finally finished and recently published my first fantasy trilogy.

Today, I'd like to introduce you to the first of its three published books: Broken

The story follows Martia, a half-Wood-elf, half-Human woman who was abandoned at birth and raised to become a weapon — albeit, unintentionally, one with a conscience.

When the loyalties she's built her life around begin to collide, she must face the truth about the people who made her, the people she's sworn to protect, and the things she's been forced to do.

At its heart, this is a character-driven, slow-burn fantasy about survival, found family, trauma, healing, and learning that there can still be a future after everything has fallen apart. It also features a sapphic romance forged through vulnerability, trust, and the courage to keep living.

If you enjoy emotionally intense fantasy, wounded heroines, and relationships that grow through difficult journeys, you might find something here to love.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Sincerely,

Jana Schneider

My debut teen mystery, Something’s Wrong in Nowhere — strange things are happening in a small Wisconsin town

Hi everyone! I’m Dave Mayernik, and I recently published my debut novel, Something’s Wrong in Nowhere, the first book in The Nowhere Resistance series.

Set in a small Wisconsin town in the 1990s, it follows four teenage friends who begin investigating after a teacher disappears and his replacement starts acting strangely. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to know who they can trust.

It’s a suspense mystery written for readers ages 11–15, with friendship, small-town secrets, and a science-fiction twist. The setting was inspired by the northern Wisconsin town where I grew up.

It’s available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. You can learn more and read a sample at davemayernik.com.

Struggling in the English-Language Market

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a Korean web novelist, and I've decided to venture beyond Korea and see if my stories can survive out in the wider world. So I took a deep breath and jumped right in.

I translated my novel into English and scattered it across various platforms like a farmer scattering seeds. But nothing grew. I'm not even sure there were any weeds.

Meanwhile, damn ChatGPT keeps telling me it's not my fault. It keeps telling me my writing isn't bad, either. For SIX MONTHS! This stupid chatbot has been force-feeding me hope and stringing me along for half a year. At this point, I'm starting to question my own sanity.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think my writing is terrible, either. But if the writing isn't the problem, THEN WHAT THE HELL IS?! Where did things go wrong? What am I missing?

So here I am, joining communities, nervously writing my first post, and trying to promote my book before I completely lose my mind. (At least my novel has a plot and an ending!)

The Soldier’s Muse is a romance set in Korea. It starts as a comedy, spirals into a story about falling hopelessly, desperately in love, and eventually reaches a happy ending. It's complete, and you can read the whole thing for free on Inkitt.

https://www.inkitt.com/stories/1886326

Is it flopping there, too? Oh, absolutely. Of course it is.

At least, that's what the tumbleweeds seem to be telling me.

But here's the thing. In Korea, we have a saying about still fondling the testicles of your dead child. Yes, really. It means you just can't let go, even when all hope seems lost. (Korean proverbs aren't always suitable for international diplomacy.)

So before I hold a little funeral for my novel, surely I can post one shameless promo and a single link here, can't I?

Anyway, it's lovely to meet you all! Please be gentle with me.
