[SELF PROMOTION] Trust the system, betray yourself.

Trust the System. Betray Yourself.

The most disturbing thing in my novel isn’t the AI sidekick. It’s that the protagonist becomes better at being someone else than he ever was at being himself. And he likes it.

Zero Trust is a near future thriller with plausible sci-fi and is available now on KindleUnlimited.

Hungerstone

If the author say hunger / hungry one more time I am going to scream. That was my internal dialogue while reading this book. I am almost done and can’t form an opinion at the moment. Is this a sapphic or sapphic adjacent .What was your experience reading it?

Promotion

I've written my first novel that's garnered a positive Kirkus Review, won some minor awards, been well-reviewed in general across the web but nobody knows it exists. I've run some Facebook ad campaigns, am retired and living from savings so am not rich and trying to wrap my head around how to get the word out that my book exits.

Each option seems limited:

Go to conventions and "cons," rent a table, sit there and watch people walk past and hope one will look at my book and consider buying a copy. They cost alot to attend, are stressful to prep for and go to and carry large boxes around for after going through cancer and the one I went to was depressing since there were dozens of indie authors there with nobody selling one book at all.

Amazon Ads seem hit or miss and expensive

BookBub Ads, not sure

BookInfluencers dot come seems sketchy but I don't know.

One agency told me to just keep writing and after I have more books, then promote them, which to me seems like them saying "your budget is not big enough for us."

Murder in the Buff, Casey Holloway

Maggie Bloom never expected to inherit her aunt’s quirky lakeside nudist resort—let alone run it with nothing but a clipboard, a frazzled smile, and a lot of strategic eye contact. Sunny Bunz might be a haven of sunshine, body positivity, and questionable ukulele performances, but managing towel disputes and talent show rehearsals is hardly Maggie’s idea of paradise.

Then a high-profile guest turns up dead, and paradise turns perilous.

Between juggling eccentric regulars, nosy newcomers, and one very attractive handyman with a mysterious past, Maggie suddenly finds herself at the center of an investigation that threatens both the resort’s reputation and her own sense of belonging. To save Sunny Bunz, she’ll need more than a clipboard—she’ll need courage, quick thinking, and the nerve to confront a killer hiding in plain sight.

Lighthearted, witty, and full of sunshine and suspense, Murder in the Buff is a cozy mystery that proves community—and truth—shine brightest when nothing is left to hide.

Just sharing.

It was almost banned in my home country but at the end it won a national award. Today I was informed that it got banned by the Saudi government.

It’s not political. No sex. It just has some (unusual?) imagination. I like unusual imagination.

Edit: I didn’t expect to get this much support! Thanks everyone! :)
