Oh, hey, I forgot about this thread. I self-pubbed a new book in spring after serializing it last year: ![]() quote:* Jeremy is terrified of the new girl. Amazon Everywhere else

Hi, I don't know why it didn't occur to me until today to check if there was such a thread, but I'm here now. I just self-published my first novel back in March after working on it for waaaaaay too long (don't even ask how long, please). I submitted it on Mario Day, oddly enough, but it didn't go live until a few days later.![]() Cover design by my husband. It's only available on Amazon, so here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY4L62QY It's a space fantasy adventure story in a similar vein as the Redwall series. I like to call it "Redwall in space." I'll copy the blurb about it: quote:On a far-distant planet known as Zada, the animals of Earth have found a safe haven, free to continue their evolution without interference. Until now. Available in Kindle and paperback at the moment. I'm working on figuring out audiobook.

I'm nearly 2 years late on my promised release date but Supplicant, the sequel to my debut fantasy novel, Petition, is finally done.![]() It's Six of Crows meets Mistborn with a Locked Tomb twist and you can check out the Kickstarter project which is now live. Backers will get early access to Supplicant ahead of its general retail release and I'm also offering some gorgeous special edition hardcovers for both books so far in the series. The special editions will have exclusive interior and dust jacket illustrations by Rosemary Fung, and holographic foiled hardcover case art by K.E. Rosero. Here's some eye candy of the exclusive art and illustrative mock-ups of the special editions: ![]() Also, Petition is finally coming to audio and it's being narrated by the one and only Emily Woo Zeller, who has done a brilliant job. You can check out a spoiler-free 5-minute preview here. I'm gonna be publishing the audiobook at the end of the month to my website, Google Play, and Kobo (including Kobo Plus).

Good on you for hiring actual artists too. Anyway, I'm just in for the ebooks, but you have my $15. And it looks like you have folks buying the fancy boxes and things, so ![]()

Is there any way to do the kickstarter without having your name listed in the acknowledgments of Supplicant?

mystes posted:Is there any way to do the kickstarter without having your name listed in the acknowledgments of Supplicant? Yes! The name in acknowledgements will be something I’ll ask for in the backer survey and will be opt-in only, so if you don’t want to be named, just put N/A or leave the question blank in the backer survey.

I read Petition, and it's a nail-biter with awesome worldbuilding and great characters. Highly recommended.

Somehow it never occured to me that there might be a thread for goon authors and their publications. I'm very happy to have published my second novel (in cooperation with my mate, Tom F.):![]() Unfortunately, it's German language only: "Köln 2017: Der 16jährige Schüler Karl sieht sein Vaterland in Gefahr. Das korrupte Merkel-Regime öffnet mit seiner Flüchtlingspolitik dem großen Austausch Tür und Tor, während echte Deutsche wie er selbst und seine alkoholkranke Mutter mit Sozialleistungen abgespeist werden. Angestachelt durch seine Kameraden beschließt er, sich endlich zu wehren. Köln 1933: Die 16jährige Jüdin Esther macht sich große Sorgen. Die Nationalsozialisten haben die Wahlen gewonnen. Seit Tagen marschieren sie in den Straßen auf und ab, singen ihre hasserfüllten Lieder und greifen Jüdinnen und Juden auf offener Straße an. Gestern erst wurden die Scheiben von Vaters Geschäft mit weißer Farbe beschmiert. Und heute brachten ihre Brüder einen bewusstlos geschlagenen und übel zugerichteten jungen Mann nach Hause. Wo sollte das alles noch enden?" Ten percent of our returns from book-sales are donated to "Exit Deutschland", an NGO that works with young Neo-Nazis and enables them to leave the violent extremist scene. It's available on Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/1AMrqYx If anyone wants a signed copy: I still have a handfull of physical copies cluttering up my place, so just hit me up on hirnparasit [at] gmx [dot] net and we'll figure something out. My first novel is currently not available as printed book. However, you can get the audio book (read by myself and accompanied by its own soundtrack) on Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/g7rPIWf ![]() "Ein versoffener Kapitän, eine sadistische Navigatorin, ein kiffender, kommunistischer Schimpanse und das unbeschreibliche Wesen im Maschinenraum bemannen das Piratenschiff Lilli Marleen, das auf der Jagd nach Beute und Profit zwischen den Sternen kreuzt wie ein Hai im Kinderplanschbecken. Als die munter-nihilistische Crew der Lilli Marleen jedoch eines Tages einen wehrlosen Frachter kapert und ausraubt, erregt sie damit die Aufmerksamkeit des äußerst humorlosen galaktischen Imperiums. Es beginnt eine furiose Jagd nicht nur durch das Vakuum des Alls, sondern auch durch anarchistische Piratenraumstationen, hedonistische Partyräume und vollgepisste Herrenklos..."

It took longer than I initially hoped, but my second book, Magical Girl Blues, is out today. You can also get it direct from me, and from almost every other online book marketplace.![]() quote:Some things are worse than death… or high school.

Oh my loving god lmfao: that ain't my book!!!! I merely whipped up that cover design for them and they liked it enough to use it. I have written books (novellas, really) but they're Izzy Hartley and the Luminal Magnifier and A Gift from the Sky. I haven't managed to properly finish a new book in years now because depression and brain problems and poor sales, hooray ![]()

Yeah, it sucks, but it's not been all bad. I finally got a diagnosis for my ADHD (undetected for 30+ years, somehow) which has started a slow healing process and I might even get back on my feet before I hit 40. I hope to get my next book finished and published before 2025 is over, and we'll see how we go from there. ![]()

So uh... I wrote this.![]() https://www.amazon.com/Baptism-Fire-Book-One-Unconquered-ebook/dp/B07YN6MYZ3 It's set in an imaginary universe I've been building and percolating since the early 90s. quote:Ellaráda Inaiya is twenty-three years old, a carefree young musician in her home city of Virrikál. There's only one complication: her father is the supreme leader of the Galactic Alliance, and he intends to groom her to succeed him.
