If you have an indie novella, I absolutely recommend signing up for this while you can! I did a couple of years ago & met some amazing authors & judges, plus got some great feedback to help me become a better author.

Recently, I have been uploading my books to @itch.io as part of my ongoing efforts towards giving everything a wide release. It's a good community, one I've enjoyed since my days in gamedev.
But...well, it's dug up some long buried skeletons from my past.

It's been a while since I've talked about my secondary erotica pen name...but for those interested in my erotic stories, one of them just came out on Audible. I have another story being recorded for audiobook release which will be coming soon!

I kind of alluded to this the other day, but if you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber and you're hoping to read Omen Bears in KU, you may want to do that soon. Omen Bears is slated to leave Kindle Unlimited on Sunday 4/13 so that it can receive a proper wide release.

Got my proofs from two different companies recently, KDP (who I use now) & Draft2Digital. Each has some pros & cons. Colors definitely come out different as does the layout. Not sure how to do maps in D2D yet.
Not convinced I’ll change that yet, weighing the options.

The Narratess Indie Sale is over!
Thank you so much for all the authors and readers, everyone who shared, visited, and bought!
We'll keep the books visible on the site for a little longer because some books still have their discount going (like mine).

If you played MMOs around 2020, you may remember how the population of FFXIV exploded w/ former WoW players after Blizz’s scandals.
If @barnesandnoble.com, @draft2digital.bsky.social, IngramSpark, or Lulu have the right setup, I could totally see them scooping up indie authors for the same reasons.

Good to see this being discussed!
Many indies ARE now on Itch, Kobo, etc, but many others are locked into KU. The 90 day exclusivity lock is something to bear in mind. It can’t always be FAST.
It’s a hard road to navigate & indies are doing their best to stay afloat while following the readers.
