8 місяців. 168 тисяч слів. Моя перша трилогія

Півтора роки тому в мене зʼявилася чергова ідея сюжету. Почав писати сценарій для гри, навіть сама гра була в розробці. Але в листопаді зрозумів, що хочу цю історію представити значно ширше. Сів писати трилогію, а там вже думка сформувала план із 12 книг. Мінімум)

Третю книгу вже опублікував англійською на Амазон. Але перед тим, як публікувати оригінал і друкувати в Україні, трохи перепишу першу книгу — вона тепер здається мені занадто наївною у порівнянні з двома наступними, трапляються зайві й нікому непотрібні абзаци.

Але я це зробив)

Щоб коротко описати про що книги, я процитую головну героїню:
— Я знаю, що я лише робот. Я знаю, що мені повинно бути байдуже. Але чомусь це не так.

Обкладинки робив у 3D, фото для фону купив у мексиканського дайвера. Вийшло епічно)

How long does it take for your Kindle Unlimited (KU) read count to update?

Hi everyone,

It’s been about a week since I uploaded my novel to Kindle Unlimited, and my KENP page reads are still completely stuck at 0. I’m fully aware this could just mean that my book is terrible and nobody is reading it. However, the posts I’ve made here and on a few other platforms promoting that the book is on KU have received over 1,000 views.

Naturally, it makes me wonder: even if my book is a total disaster, if someone opened it and closed it after the very first page, shouldn’t that number change? Or does KU count it as 0 pages read if they back out during the first page?

For context, my actual Chapter 1 starts around page 7 after the title page and dedication. If someone flips through those early pages and drops off, does it still register as 0? I'm not entirely sure how the tracking works, so I wanted to ask the community. Does your page count update in real-time daily, or is there a noticeable delay for it to refresh?

update: five days have passed since publishing and finally the number changed. 16 :)) well... better than zero I guess :)))

I’ve never actually finished a KU book. Prove me wrong and help me find a good one.

I have had so many trials of KU and even paid for months but I’ve never actually finished a book on there because of poor writing. Help me find a good one so I can say my subscription is actually worth it. I mostly read romance and romantasy.

Laughable grammatical errors

I had to laugh when I read this today in {The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole}
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ve been alive this long.”
“Barley,” he grumbled, …

What? Was he telling her what was in his soup or beer?

First Contact Was A Funeral: Ten Cosmic Tales.

Ten stories, ten completely different scales of contact.

  1. A radio signal that turns out to be a forty-year-old song of mourning for us and won’t stop transmitting until it knows we’ve heard it.

  2. A depression forming in a man’s ceiling. 3mm, then 8mm, then 19mm, directly above the flat of a woman whose husband died six weeks ago. The building isn’t subsiding. Something else is pressing down.

  3. An alien research file on “Subject 7,441,882, Informal Designation: The Breakfast Man” a guy in Baltimore who’s been eating the same breakfast, from their vantage point, for 11,000 years. They have a paper forthcoming on why his coffee is always the same temperature.

  4. Asettlement’s official meeting minutes on a planet light-years from here, opening with an entry that predates their arrival, that nobody admits writing, that the director insists stays first and won’t say why.

None of these four share a universe. All ten stories share one question: what does it cost to finally be seen by something bigger than you?

Free on KU. Whichever one just got you — that’s the story built for you.

I live in the US, and I read the Mahabharata and rewatch Interstellar not for something new, but to remember it’s bigger than I remembered. This is my debut collection: ten stories, ten different first contacts, one question what does it cost to finally be seen?

Just received my copy of my debut novelette! A Nordic Psychological Thriller.

Hi r/NewAuthor, I am an 18 yo indie author, and I published my debut a few days ago. It is a Nordic Psychological thriller.

Here's the blurb: "I called him today. We talked about it. I have no idea how this is going to end..." His grandfather's diary ended abruptly. The doctor ruled his grandfather's death a natural one, but Narcissus was sure it wasn't. Narcissus Alexandro sets out into the Swedish wilderness in 1996 to uncover the truth behind his grandfather's death...a truth he shouldn't have found.

It is a fast-paced book with 12 tight chapters that you can read in one sitting.

It would mean a lot to me if you read it and left an honest review.

You can check it out here : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H2QT4X4C

A wounded dragon.
Two enemies bound by magic.
And a secret bond that shouldn’t exist.

When a hunt in the Frozen Wilds forces their paths together, they corner a wounded dragon... and discover something impossible.

The dragon responds to their magic—but only when they’re together.

No two riders have ever bonded with the same dragon. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Seraya and Mikhail must unravel the secret behind their connection, all while keeping the dragon alive.

Because if Seraya’s gang discovers what she’s hiding, they won’t stop until the dragon—and everyone protecting it—are dead.

[Self Promotion] The Devil in My Bed: One Hell of a Love Story - A Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romantic Comedy - Available Now on Kindle Unlimited

Billy said he’d do anything for love.

He didn’t expect hell to take him seriously.

When a mischievous demon with pink hair and a wicked sense of humor offers to make his romantic dreams come true, it seems too good to pass up. All he has to do is complete a few simple favors.

But as Billy is pulled deeper into a world of secret missions, dangerous bargains, and irresistible temptations, he begins to realize that getting what you want isn’t the same as getting what you need. And when feelings get involved—especially forbidden ones—a wish for love can cost far more than he ever imagined.

Funny, romantic, and packed with supernatural adventure, The Devil in My Bed is a story about unintended consequences, impossible love, and discovering that the best things in life are rarely the ones we ask for.

Because when you promise anything for love… you’d better mean it!

My completed flintlock fantasy trilogy is available on KU!

My name is Connor Ludovissy. I'm the author of the Reukanaz Saga.

The Reukanaz Saga is a flintlock fantasy trilogy in the vein of Brian McClellan. The first book, Honor for the Dead, tells the story of a young man named Ao who signs up for the army and gets a hell of a lot more than he bargains for. What follows is a tale of dishonor, betrayal, and runic magic.

Then things get much crazier.

The end of the trilogy, Death to Tyrants Parts 1 and 2, will release on July 4. Or whenever Amazon decides to surprise drop it on me.

I would never be so bold as to smear my politics across the internet. But it might have, let's say, subtle antifascist themes. The title might clue you in.

Thanks for reading. AMA if you feel like it.

My debut novel just went live.

My debut novel just went live on Kindle after 8 years of writing it on and off

So this thing has been sitting in my head since 2018. Started it, dropped it, came back to it, dropped it again more than once. This year I actually sat down and finished it and put it up on Kindle a few days ago.

It's called The Yellow Curtains. Delhi-set revenge thriller — a guy's wife gets shot outside their building gate one ordinary morning and he basically stops being who he was in order to find out why. Not exactly a cheerful book.

Not going to pretend this isn't self-promo, it is. If that's not your thing, totally fair, no hard feelings. But if slow-burn thrillers that actually sit with you are your thing, I'd genuinely appreciate you giving it a shot.

Also happy to answer anything about the writing or the whole KDP process if anyone's curious — this was my first time doing it start to finish and I made basically every mistake possible along the way.

Hi! New author here! 👋

I just published my new romantic comedy novella Cheers & Chess yesterday, and I thought this would be a good subreddit to post about it :)

In short, it's about a frat guy who, after getting his heart broken twice on the same day, gets drunk and accidentally crashes his crush's chess club meeting, where they finally start getting to know each other. It's about ~70 pages and is a generally lighthearted read. If anyone is interested, it's available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited :)

I'm VERY new to publishing (I've only written three other shorter works this year), so marketing is pretty nerve-wracking to me lol. But yeah, if you want to check it out, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VRD9XQ

Thanks for reading my post! :)
