The LOUISA & ADA series is now available wide 🎉

This means it's no longer on KU but is available at a variety of different e-book stores (see below) and on Kobo Plus.

Anyone who's published on Kobo know why the preview is showing my chapter title formatting all odd?

(It look fine when I reviewed it before publishing.)

Ummm... 'Zon, I got questions about how the book that left KU 2 weeks ago is getting page reads????

Like a lot of indie authors, I'm pulling my books from the KU programme and going wide. This is a scary new step for me, but I'm hoping it'll help introduce my books to a whole new audience (whilst also making me less reliant on the 'Zon.)

Bit late to the conversation, but just discovered my book (alongside many fellow indie authors) was pirated and then used to train AI by Meta because they didn't actually want to pay for copyrighted work.

Which, well, frankly, f*** that!
