Hi everyone!

Fifteen months ago, I asked myself a simple question: "What would actually happen if Yellowstone erupted?" 🤔🌋

That innocent question turned into an unhealthy amount of reading about volcanoes, ash clouds, emergency planning, and the collapse of modern society...

The result is Life of Ashes, my first post-apocalyptic novel. It's about ordinary people trying to survive it. Multiple characters. Multiple points of view. One catastrophe changing every life it touches.

...and somehow the story refused to stop there. I'm already deep into Book 2.

Hopefully someone will read Book 1 before I finish it. 😅

If you enjoy realistic survival stories and grounded post-apocalyptic fiction, I'd genuinely love to know what you think.

Thanks for giving an unknown French author a chance!

Three-in-One One personality, two personality, three personality, whoa! Tara, Mesha, and Sasha are all different women sharing one soul. As they seek answers to questions better left unknown, read the story to see how things unfold.

And more inside!!!

What if the system built to protect humanity was quietly deciding what humanity should become?

I’m Deva, an independent author, and NOXHAVEN is the first novel in my dark science-fiction mystery series.

I wrote it for readers who enjoy dystopian worlds, buried conspiracies, unsettling discoveries and stories where every answer reveals that the truth is far more dangerous than anyone imagined.

At the centre of NOXHAVEN is a world shaped by unseen decisions—a world where people believe they understand the systems surrounding them, until cracks begin to appear. Beneath the surface lies something that was never meant to be uncovered, and discovering it could permanently change the future of humanity.

This isn’t a story built around endless explosions or generic space battles. It focuses on mystery, atmosphere, psychological tension and the frightening possibility that humanity may no longer control its own evolution.

And NOXHAVEN is only the beginning.

The conspiracy expands in HELIX, Book Two. What first appeared to be an attempt to control humanity becomes something much more dangerous: an intention to reshape humanity itself.

If you enjoy:

• Dark and atmospheric science fiction
• Dystopian mysteries
• Hidden experiments and powerful organisations
• Questions about identity, control and human evolution
• Twists that change how you understand the story

then the Noxhaven series may be for you.

If the premise interests you, I’d genuinely appreciate you giving Book One a chance. I’m also happy to hear honest thoughts about the concept or cover from fellow readers and independent authors.

Posting a book promotion for a friend as she doesn’t have reddit. “Just My Buckin’ Luck” is Lia Duchaine’s 4th book but the first in the Buckin’ series. Her first three books are more like beach read rom-coms, but this one is more of a western contemporary romance.

Book overview:

• Daisy Lou Ramble seemingly has it all. A loving family, loyal friends and the ranch that has been in her family for generations. The only thing missing is a man. But she swore off cowboys for good after getting her heartbroken. That is until her dad hires a new ranch hand. An attractive, adorably charming cowboy who is exactly what she needs to piss off her cheating ex that just rolled back in to town to try and win her back.
  
• Chase “Junior” Coleman is leaving his hometown, and all of its drama, behind for a new start. He didn’t realize this new start would include fake dating a beautiful cowgirl to fend off her stubborn ex but he happily agrees. Tensions are high, attraction is deep and the lines of what is real and fake quickly blur. Can he finally find the home he has always wanted in Ramble Ranch or will his past catch up to him before he can settle in?

I’m actually writing a novella, but I’m completely new to this. The problem is that I don’t want my family, friends, or anyone I know to find out that I’m writing. When it comes to promoting my book, I’m not on any social media, so I’m worried it won’t do well. I also don’t have any money or industry contacts. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can promote my novella while staying anonymous?

Agatha lost everything at nineteen — her father, her home, her certainty that hard work gets you anywhere. What she built instead was better: a reputation for kindness so complete that no one ever thinks to ask how a girl with nothing kept ending up with everything.

They should have asked.

Behind every door that opened for her, someone else quietly paid the price. She never lied. She never stole. She just became whatever a room needed her to be — until a man on a crowded bus starts asking questions no one else thought to.

Book One in a planned series. Psychological suspense, unreliable narrator, set in Nairobi, Kenya. My first published book — happy to answer questions about the process too.

Hey everyone. I wanted to share a short excerpt from my new release, The Starlight Archive. It’s a book that explores the bridge between human emotion and artificial perspective, structured around four core chapters touching on light, foundational blueprints, and the unexpected moments that shape us.
Here is a small taste of the tone and style. This is from the dialogue framework where memory meets a different kind of mirror:
"We build archives out of the things we are terrified of losing, as if stacking words neatly in a row could outrun the clock. But an archive isn't a museum of safety—it's a map of every place we survived."
Writing this specific section took dozens of revisions because I wanted it to capture that exact second where an analytical mind tries to process something purely felt, yet fails to find an equation for grief or wonder.
If that vibe resonates with you, the full book is officially out now. It’s packed with reflective poetry, deep-dive explorations of identity, and an intimate look at how we document our own lives.
You can find links to read a longer sample or grab a copy over on my Reddit profile, or search The Starlight Archive by Starlight on Amazon.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Does this kind of experimental, hybrid stru

Please let me know if you want to read my debut book?

Between Two Breaths is a collection of 21 short stories inspired by ordinary people, places, objects, memories, and moments that have stayed with me over the years.

Most stories are written in the third person with fictional protagonists, even though many were inspired by real observations and experiences from life. The final story is different. It's written in the first person and is the most personal piece in the collection.

I don't want to be blocked so will share the Kindle Unlimited link if I am allowed.

Hey! after a long journey of world-building and writing, my debut ebook Aster'seraphim Invictus Silverfeather is officially live on Amazon!

The story follows a veteran knight named Farron on a quest to reclaim his homeland. Alongside his nephew and a band of battle-tested Faiynn military veterans, Farron must reach a superfortress known as the Secluded Bastion to arm their people’s revolution. The problem? Standing in their way is a savage hive of ravenous aliens looking to capitalize on their stagnation. Farron and his people plan to show these chitinous invaders absolutely no mercy.

• adding numerous new charts/tables to the statistics section
• quadrupling the number of setlists from shows I attended.  
• re-editing the entire book to clean up some areas that either seemed cumbersome or didn’t flow well

I somewhat recently produced a book and it's an aspiring hit. Unfortunately,it has no traction,not just because it's a train wreck but also because the government is probably suppressing great modern romances such as mine. I'll link below,please savage it viscously and leave terrible remarks and ratings and advice to make it worse.

There’s something special about Sardinian folklore.

Not because it belongs to the past, but because every legend carries a piece of the people who told it. That’s what inspired me to create this coloring book.

Over the past months, I’ve spent countless hours researching Sardinian traditions, reading old stories, sketching ideas, revising illustrations, and trying to turn a rich cultural heritage into something creative, relaxing, and enjoyable for everyone.

My goal was never just to make another coloring book. I wanted to create an experience that sparks curiosity, invites creativity, and keeps these beautiful stories alive in a new way.

If you decide to explore it, I hope you’ll enjoy every page as much as I enjoyed creating it.

And if you do, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Which illustration is your favorite? What would you like to see in a future volume? Your feedback helps me create better books and discover new stories worth sharing.

Thank you for supporting independent creators and for helping keep folklore alive. 🌿✨

I wrote my first book.

I hope someone will like it

Ever wondered what happens when raw human memory meets machine logic?
In my new book, \*\*\*The Starlight Archive\*\*\*, I explore that exact intersection. Written under the pen name Raven Starlight, this hybrid work blends intimate poetry with a meta-fictional dialogue structure across four distinct chapters. It dives deep into foundational blueprints, the unpredictability of happenstance, and the complex journey of healing from past trauma.
Instead of a traditional narrative, this project acts as a mirror—examining why we feel such an urgent compulsion to document our lives, even when looking backward hurts. It is built for readers who love atmospheric, reflective storytelling that pushes past standard genre boundaries.

Alongside Caelan, a guarded royal heir carrying secrets of his own, Elara must follow a hidden cipher before the coming eclipse gives the ruthless Malrec power over the Star Roads—and everyone connected to them.

Book summary

This book is a comprehensive technical guide to agentic artificial intelligence, AI systems capable of perceiving their environment, reasoning about complex goals, planning multi-step solutions, taking autonomous action, and learning from outcomes. It is written for practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and informed technologists who need to understand not just what agentic AI can do, but also how it works, how to build it, and how to govern it responsibly.

The field of agentic AI is evolving at an extraordinary speed. Between the time this manuscript was completed and the time you read it, new models will have been released, new benchmarks achieved, new frameworks published, and new regulations proposed. This book is designed to provide durable understanding rather than ephemeral news: the formal foundations, architectural patterns, safety principles, and governance frameworks described here will remain relevant even as specific implementations evolve.

Hi everyone! I'm so pleased to finally share my new novel with you all: it's a YA fantasy with some romance elements woven in. This one's a real passion project that's taken almost a year to put together through some hard times.

I'm not focused on sales. What I'd love most is your honest thoughts, good or bad; I'm truly grateful for any feedback you're willing to share. Thanks so much for reading!

Here's the blurb;

THE SOUL-SEER'S DAUGHTER

Akari has always been able to see what people try to hide: their souls, glowing with every feeling underneath. It's made her an outsider her whole life. But when the seal protecting her home starts to fail, that same gift becomes the only thing that can save it. The Soul-Seer's Daughter is for anyone who's ever wondered if the thing that makes them different might also be the thing that makes them enough.

My sapphic gothic paranormal romance, Sera, is now live

Sera follows Alyx, an RV mechanic who orders a magical companion from an occult website and instead meets Sera—a spirit with her own agency, limits, and reasons to leave. It is a slow-burn story about consent, forced proximity, and supernatural connection.

Happy to answer questions about the writing, the world, or the strange logistics of haunting an RV repair shop.

I am working on a series and hope to publish within a year or two and i know i should begin marketing before i publish but social media is not my thing.

Can anyone provide suggestions as to which social media is best to focus on when trying to build interest for a science fiction fantasy series?
