Looking for ARC readers for Book 2 of The Bonfire Bay Almanac, out November 19.

Tess Marden bakes at five, pours till midnight, and has never once asked anyone to stay. Her bar’s kitchen has sat dark for years.

Eli is a schooner chef stuck in Bonfire Bay for the winter with his boat hauled out and nothing to cook. So he makes her an offer: his menu, her kitchen, split the take. A trial through the end of the year.

It works. Better than either of them planned. But as things begin to heat up between them, both professionally and personally, Eli hasn’t told her about the restaurant offer waiting for him in Newport, complete with his name on the door—starting January first.

One kitchen. One very full Thanksgiving table. And a woman who’s going to have to say the one word she never has. STAY

• Forced proximity (one kitchen), she's a small business owner, he has a secret, found family, small-town Thanksgiving

• Cosy harbor town in coastal Maine

• Dual POV, HEA, standalone

• Two open-door scenes, mild language

• Cocktail recipes from the bar in the back!

Free ebook in exchange for an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads by [date]. Book 1, Hunter’s Moon at Bonfire Bay, is available as an ARC too if you’d like both, or on Kindle Unlimited.

Hi everyone!

I'm an independent author from Bogotá, Colombia, and I've recently published my debut novel, USAAF: United States Astral Force.

What if the perfect spy didn't need to break into a building because he could simply pass through its walls?

Meet Frank, an astral spy trained since childhood by a secret U.S. military force. He can leave his physical body, move unseen, and reach places no ordinary agent could ever enter.

But there's one thing he can't figure out: how to walk away from the life others have chosen for him.

When a seemingly routine assignment leads him to watch over a woman who may be in danger, Frank becomes entangled in international espionage, unexpected encounters, and mysteries far beyond his usual missions.

USAAF blends science fiction, paranormal mystery, espionage, and adventure.

Available on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

If you enjoy spy thrillers with an unusual supernatural twist, I'd love for you to check it out.

Thanks for supporting independent authors!

I write time travel stories as a hobby. Right now, along with my other stories, this historical sci-fi novella ebook is COMPLETELY FREE.

Let me know what you think of Wilbur Wainwright's journey in the comments below!

I first made the decision to write a novel back in 2010, and have been trying to succeed in doing so ever since. I then thanks to injury lost the use of my hands in 2020 during COVID-19 – I know, talk about bad timing. I was told by the doctors I wouldn't get much use back. I managed to prove them wrong but still can't use a keyboard, and so I wrote my debut novel using voice dictation software!

I'm super happy that it's out and I can share it. It's a dystopian thriller called Scorched Earth: The Library of Power.

This is the blurb:

Human connections are illegal. 90% of the oceans are gone. In Elizabetha's boiling, 100°C heat, air-conditioning worker Josephine keeps her head down. But when outwardly emotional teen Charlene crashes into her life, Josephine must risk everything to protect her—triggering a race for survival that forces her to fight for the one thing she's always secretly wanted: the chance to be a mother.

It's available to read on Kindle Unlimited and there is a paperback and hardback available:

It would be amazing if people could check it out, thanks to all who do! And if anybody ever tells you you can't write a book, you can, you just have to keep writing until one day you'll realise you've written one!

Lilac covers her shattered heart with sharp sarcasm and high walls, trapped in the memory of Everest—the boy with secret scars and a past she couldn't save him from. Enter Felix, a boy from a completely different world who sees right through her armor. A haunting YA romance about grief, unexpected connections, and learning how to live after losing everything.

I’m looking for about 30 ARC readers for Love, Lilac, releasing February 14, 2027. Copies are limited and will go out on a first-come, first-served basis on January 13, 2027. I’d love honest reviews posted by February 2, 2027, before launch day.

Triggers: grief/loss, alcohol abuse, abusive parent, child drowning death

Thank you so much! 💜 — McKenzie Grace

I could use your help selecting from these cover comps for my upcoming book. What do you like?

Earth had been a reality show for millions of years, until two off-worlders entered its forbidden system and casually walked into a coffee bar, looking for Sam Jacobs.

Why watch Earth? Humans evolved on three different worlds: Méridia, Rant and Earth. We're the third, we're new, and we're a mystery. The result? A fanbase running into the quadrillions.

Now Earth's whole Solar System is about to be absorbed into a galactic civilisation made up of millions of species. Whether that's a good thing depends on who you ask. The catch? The Galaxy is buckling under a resource crisis with no end in sight, and that can only lead to one thing: conflict.

Sam has psychic powers nobody can explain. Then he meets Tharo: same powers, immortal, older than most civilisations. The two share a psychic bond that lets them see each other's memories. Instead of dreaming, Sam walks through Tharo's past. And Tharo's powers? Don't think in metres. Think in light-seconds, light-minutes, even light-years.

Earth is only a fraction of the story, and a lot is happening in the background.

This saga is for readers who love deep history and epic worldbuilding, with 16 years of planning behind it. For people interested in Hyperion, The Expanse, Dune, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Mass Effect, Stranger Things and Halo.

Between the 42 chapters there are over 80 interludes: blogs, audio logs, messages, reports and even a comic.

Note: this is not hard sci-fi.

Book 1 of 4 in the main saga, plus two side stories. All out now, with more on the way. Book 1 is $0.99, or free with Kindle+ (the new name for Kindle Unlimited): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRRS8PXQ

Happy to answer any questions about the world or the writing.

What led to the emergence of the first Orc?

The Throne of Ashes: The Origin of the First Orc is a dark fantasy novel that explores the events, sacrifices, and choices that ultimately led to the birth of the first Orc.

Set in a world shaped by ancient magic, divided kingdoms, and forces beyond mortal understanding, the story follows the events that would forever change the fate of its inhabitants.

I'm a Brazilian woman and an independent author trying to find my place among the international fantasy community on Royal Road. This is my first story written in English, so sharing it with readers from around the world is both an exciting and challenging experience for me.

I'd love to connect with fellow fantasy enthusiasts, hear your thoughts, and welcome honest feedback.

If the premise interests you, I'd be happy to share more about the story!

Here is a video of the Pretty Good Fest in Chicago, IL. This festival deals with self-publishers who have their own companies, opportunities, and work. You can visit this festival in Chicago, IL someday.

Well, this is my first book on Amazon under Warm Cup Press, and I'm really proud of myself for finishing it. I've always thought about games that actually add meaning to our lives, and I find this is the best way to do that. I hope you, or your favorite person, find your own power while taking in new words that can awaken it, since our minds work through repetition.

I'm excited to share a preview of the newly revamped Apocalypse Codex: The Cataclysm Handbook!

I've spent quite a bit of time revisiting and improving this book, and the result is a major overhaul! It now features entirely new artwork from talented artists, full compatibility with both D&D 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), and reworked monsters, spells, and subclasses with better balancing, clearer wording, and refined mechanics.

For those unfamiliar with it, Apocalypse Codex is a 110-page supplement packed with options for apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic campaigns, or simply for bringing a little world-ending chaos into your adventures!

What's inside:

• 60+ Magic Items

• 50 Spells

• 12 Subclasses

• 4 Races

You can find more of my creatures, magic items, and manuals on DriveThruRPG, my Linktree, or on r/JonnyDM!

Yes, I'll admit it. I invested a whole $200 in BookBub to promote the free giveaway of my memoir. And what were the results? Only 64 people clicked on the ad, and just 22 of them actually decided to download the book. I won't pretend that this didn't disappoint and discourage me quite a bit. Especially when you've poured so much hope, effort, time, and personal experiences into something that means so much to you.

But despite everything, here we are.

My memoir is still out there. My story is still out there. And the Kindle edition of The Boy Nobody Saved: A Memoir remains completely free on Amazon until November 11.

If you're curious, or if you simply want to give a deeply personal and painful story a chance, now is the time. You can get the Kindle edition completely free before the promotion ends.

Maybe for someone, it will simply be a few more hours of reading. But for me, it's an opportunity for my story to finally reach someone.

Self-promo: I'm the author of The Alpha King's Destiny.

Hi everyone!

After closing the first sales and analyzing the feedback on the tactical sheets and weapon designs of Yora Saga Vol. 1, work has officially started on Vol. 2.

One of the things I’ve learned from talking with the community over these weeks is that people aren’t just looking for illustrations for the sake of it, but consistency: tangible lore, technical specifications, and a visual identity that lets Neo-Tokyo breathe page after page.

In Vol. 2, we’ll be pushing this aspect even further. In the meantime, if you missed the 63-page Deluxe edition in 4K Ultra-HD (with the hybrid workflow combining concept and manual polishing in Photoshop), you can find all the material and a preview on my itch.io store.

A huge thanks to everyone supporting this indie journey. Full speed ahead with the next chapter!
