u/AuthorGEnnix

Hi everyone! I’m G. Ennix, a new sapphic author, and I wanted to introduce myself now that the mods have kindly updated my author flair.

I write sapphic fiction about strong women, complicated love, emotional intensity, and happy endings—because the girl will always get the girl.

My debut, Bloodlines and Betrayals: The Awakening, is Book 1 of a dark sapphic vampire romance trilogy on Kindle/KU. It includes a vampire queen, fated-bond tension, political intrigue, explicit romance, and supernatural power struggles. Books 2 and 3 are already drafted, and I’m currently working through their final reviews.

I’m also very new to Reddit, so I’m trying to learn the etiquette and participate in good faith instead of only using this space for promotion. I’d love to connect with other sapphic readers and writers, join discussions, and learn how readers here usually discover new indie authors.

Transparency note: the manuscript/story is my own writing and in my own voice. I used editing tools similar to Grammarly for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and paragraph formatting support. The cover and author logo used AI-assisted image tools.

Thanks for having me here!

Hi everyone — I’m a brand new indie author publishing under the pen name G. Ennix, and I’m still learning both the indie publishing world and Reddit etiquette, so I hope this type of post is okay.

I recently published Book 1 of a dark sapphic vampire romance trilogy on Kindle Unlimited. The story leans heavily into gothic atmosphere, political intrigue, blood bonds, morally gray characters, and emotionally intense relationships.

Some of the themes/vibes:
vampire courts and power struggles
fated/bonded connections
slow-burn tension
supernatural politics
emotionally complicated women
dark romance with a cinematic feel

One thing I’m genuinely curious about as a new author is:

How do readers here usually discover new indie authors?
Do you mostly find books through:
TikTok/BookTok?
Reddit?
Kindle recommendations?
Goodreads?
word of mouth?
samples/free chapters?

I’d also love to know what makes you personally give an unknown indie author a chance.

For transparency: the manuscript itself is my own writing with assistance from Grammerly. I did use AI-assisted tools for parts of the cover/logo design and wanted to disclose that openly.

If anyone is interested in the book itself, I’m happy to share the title/link in the comments rather than spam the post.

Thanks for letting a new indie author wander nervously into the vampire castle. 🦇
