There's a Kindle countdown deal right now on my newest novel, $1.99 today!

Supernatural meets The Cruel Prince. “…never dull…a neat twist on the concepts of the fountain of youth and reincarnation.” -Kirkus Reviews.

Love.

Fate.

Courage.

Darkness.

In a world teetering on the edge of darkness, Scarlet Singer's life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the center of a war between witches and demons, each vying for control over her regenerating body and the powers it holds. As Scarlet grapples with her own identity and the powers awakening within her, she finds herself confronted with a dark destiny that threatens to consume her. She must embark on a quest to discover the things that truly make her human. Scarlet is faced with an impossible choice: embrace her extraordinary gifts and risk losing her humanity, or reject her destiny and the powers that could save her.

“A fast-paced, intriguing, richly written puzzle box of a book. Every twist and turn left me breathless. That first paragraph grabbed me and wouldn't let me go.” –Aaron Michael Ritchey, award-winning author of The Sages of the Underpass and The Cunning Man series.

"This is a captivating tale about witches and demons and a battle as old as time. It is a story of love, loss, and being captured by purpose. The main character is likable and brave, and her growth as she discovers the truth about her past and her power over the future makes a story well worth reading. I highly recommend it!” Cheree Alsop, best-selling author of The Silver Series.

Omg omg Meanboss i saw ur Patreon Post rn aaaaand now i can't stop thinking about how Astarion and Drow would react and grieve, if one of them died. Do u have any thoughts to that?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy. I'm almost reluctant to answer this because I feel like this is absolutely DU drow's ugliest side, LOL.

So let me put off the inevitable and start with Astarion: the unlikely more well-adjusted half when it comes to this - if you can call total desensitization being "well adjusted", at least.

Astarion has led hundreds of people to their deaths after supposedly earning their trust, care and attention - I'm not saying every single one of his outings ended in heart-break, in fact the vast majority were probably completely impersonal one-night stands, but at SOME POINT in Astarion's life he must have held some care for people or at least an aversion to the idea of manipulating them into death's maw - until he had to do it over, and over, and over, and over again.

It's very clear to me that Astarion managed to completely shut his empathy out, as well as his sense of attachment especially in the short-term. Those things still exist within him but are like a weak flame he has to keep feeding with kindling if he wants it to stick around; and it would be far easier to just extinguish it at once. If someone close to him were to die, especially unexpectedly, he'd just stomp it out for good and move on as if nothing had happened, probably unable to form another relationship like it for at the very least a couple of years but otherwise remain perfectly functional, and, by all intends and purposes, have gotten over the loss exceptionally quickly.

Obviously, if we're talking about DU drow's death, this would change over time and depend on how long they remained together for. I can't tell you how 500-year-old Astarion would react to the loss of his loved one (too many variables to consider) but one can expect the concept to become harder to accept the more used he grows to someone's permanence.

Now, the drow. He does not deal well with losing, and that applies to people just as well as it applies to concepts and objects. I think he can wrap his mind around the idea of someone dying of old-age, but anything short of that is akin to being stolen from.

Which brings us to Astarion's immortality, and the false sense of security that that brings DU drow. In his mind, if he is immortal, that simply means he won't ever die. This is, to him, is a certain fact the vast majority of the time,save for the rare and brief occasion where he has to face a different reality. This also means that if Astarion ever dies, that is obviously due to a tremendous failure in DU drow's part.

I simply do not think he would get over it. Much like the scenario with Villain DU drow where Orin's death basically begins the countdown for his own, his ambitions from that point forward would cap at revenge, and done that, he would either become something profoundly ugly or just let himself rot. I think this is just... Something inherit to him and the way he functions, making the former memory loss a blessing in even more ways than it already is.

He'd probably also try to resurrect him, but for all his desperation I can at least tell you that he wouldn't fall for/settle for anything lesser than his beloved with their cognizance fully intact, nor do anything that could destroy their corpse. He, uh, Is gonna need that.

Discount Bitches!!

If you haven't yet read "The Bitchelor" by @simonaniles and myself, it's on a countdown deal on [Kindle USA] and [Kindle UK]!

The sooner you buy the cheaper it is! :D

A HILARIOUS, STEAMY GAY REALITY TV POLY ROMANCE. Against his better judgment, Captain Harrison Pearce, Jr, has allowed his surrogate daughter to talk him into starring on her reality TV show, "The Catch", with its first all-male cast. Now the new queer Mr. Catch has been thrust into the spotlight - and the stresses of reality TV - with eleven men vying for his favor. Soon, Harrison finds himself torn between the affections of the handsome Lord Patrick Montgomery, muscle-daddy Sebastian Cruz, and beautiful, troubled Adrian Fisher... all with their own secrets. Can Harrison find the courage to own up to his feelings before he misses his chance with all three... or worse, his potential-boyfriends all run off with each other?

"The Bitchelor" is a 27,000 word love story filled with erotic polyamorous encounters and comedic show-business shenanigans, where finding love in multiple unexpected places might just lead to happy endings and ratings gold.

It's Manuscript Monday, and today we're exploring how to pick the right platform for publishing your book. Let’s break down IngramSpark, Amazon's KDP, and Kobo.

Amazon's KDP offers incredible reach and exclusive promotions like free eBook days and Kindle Countdown Deals. The catch? You must stay exclusive to Amazon for eBooks during these promotions.

IngramSpark is perfect for getting your book into physical stores, offering great print quality and wide distribution. But, it comes with higher setup costs and a steeper learning curve.

Kobo excels in international markets, especially Canada, and doesn't require exclusivity. However, it has a smaller audience compared to Amazon.

Thinking of using an aggregator? They distribute to multiple platforms for convenience, though they take a slice of your sales.

Choose based on where your audience is, the book type, and your preferred involvement level. Each platform has its perks! Personally, my favorite platform is KDP, but what's yours and why?

Got questions or tips about self-publishing? Drop them below! Let’s help each other out. Happy writing!

Countdown to Coven of Chaos: Day 514

Wanda: “Why is there a nondescript cardboard box in the dumpster”

Agatha: “I started an oil painting. It didn’t turn out. Don’t worry it’s not a big deal.”

Y/N: “Then why did you work on it for 5 days straight and cry when I said the building looked crooked?”

Agatha: “…”

Agatha: “Because you being wrong physically hurts me”

Y/N: “It was crooked!”

Agatha: “IT WASN’T”

Wanda: “Get it out of the dumpster and let me judge!”

Agatha: “Well um…when I said I threw a painting away…it was more like the remnants”

Wanda: “That thing is in splinters that couldn’t even be used as kindling now, isn’t it?

Agatha: “…Mayhaps I overreacted…”

Everything I know about Kindle/eBooks

Some of you are great writers and have no desire to become professional writers. That's fine. This post is for individuals wanting to start with Kindle or eBooks. I have a few short stories published on Kindle (KDP). Any inaccurate information will be corrected ASAP.

Rights: You own all rights to your book. Amazon only has the right to sell your eBook which you can revoke at any time.

Pricing: You set the price BUT Amazon can adjust it for promotions or if they find your book priced lower elsewhere.

Royalties/Payouts: This is a little complicated. Depending on criteria, you can get 35% or 70% of the book's sale price. You get paid 60 days after the end of the month when the sale was made. Person buys book on Aug 2nd, Oct 31st is when it'll be paid out. For 70%, you must allow your book to be lent to others, sold in countries where the 70% is offered, and priced between 2.99-9.99 including on other platforms.

Exclusive, Amazon-Only Distribution: You'll be enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited which pays based on pages read ($0.10 a page), allows full royalty payout even with Kindle Countdown Deals or free book promotions. You can only sell it here, not on a personal website or another platform. Amazon has full rights to your eBook with this option but ONLY your eBook, no other medium.

Non-Exclusive: You can sell your eBook on other platforms. Pricing control is better, broader audience reach. You will not get the $0.10 a page or full royalty payout when deals/discounts happen.

Choosing between Exclusive/Non-exclusive: You can switch between the two. If you go from Exclusive to Non-Exclusive, there's a 90-day waiting period before you can post it on other platforms. Non-Exclusive to Exclusive has no waiting period but you must remove your eBook from other sites. You do not have to remove physical books, audiobooks, or other adaptations.

You can use mobi, epub, or docx. Kindle also has a tool for checking to see how your book will look on a device.

Second thing I want to talk about is Kindle Vella. It is Amazon's episodic release system. I'm only listing the differences between this and KDP (Kindle).

Rights: Amazon has exclusive rights to distribute it episodically, meaning you can't publish it elsewhere while its on Vella. You can publish the finished story as an eBook however.

Pricing: Vella's readers purchase tokens to unlock episodes and that price is entirely controlled by Amazon.

Royalties/Payouts: Vella's payouts are 50% of the cost of the tokens spent by readers. 60 day payout from purchase date.

Exclusive: Vella requires 100% exclusivity to use. There doesn't seem to be a way to revoke this until the story is finished or deleted.

Non-Exclusive: There is no non-exclusive option for Vella.

Personally, I think exclusive KDP is the route to go for starting writings. It gives you more exposure and if anyone does read, you still get a little bit of money. After 90 days, you can re-assess and consider other options.
