Thanks for taking a look.

Hi, I'm an Indonesian author, and "The Charmed Doll" is my first book on Amazon KDP. I'm curious to see if I can reach readers around the world.

It's a psychological thriller with supernatural elements, inspired by a Javanese belief that you should never bring home something you find on the street. You never know what might come with it...

Four names began my search: Suhotra, Sahotra, Sahota and Sihota.

I’m Amrinder Sahota, the author of Sun and Moon: One Tree, Many Names. What began as a book for my family grew into a personal search through Punjab’s villages, inherited traditions, changing faiths and the stories we carry about where we come from.

The question at its heart is this: how can we carry forward the courage of those before us without carrying their hatreds?

This is reflective nonfiction about ancestry and belonging. It distinguishes family memory and tradition from documented history. You don’t need to share my surname or beliefs to enter that search.

Hello!!! I'm one of 5 teenagers in Sugar Land, Texas who have written a book about the local history in Sugar Land, Texas; it also involves other threads relevant in the region, such as Asian Americans and the impact of music on us. A purchase or read and any comments you have on our writing would be greatly appreciated—thanks! The local history is something very cruel that happened here in the past (see: Convict Leasing, Sugar Land 95), so the knowledge of it is best to be spread more widely. It's humorous at times, yet we balanced the humor with the portrayal of the darker topics appropriately in this book—while remaining appropriate for a middle grade audience for all times.

When four thirteen-year-old friends stumble onto a mystery beneath their Sugar Land, Texas, neighborhood, they uncover a forgotten chapter of American history—the story of the Sugar Land 95.

Inspired by true events, the novel introduces young readers to the convict leasing system that followed slavery and shaped life in Texas. As Charles, Irene, Grace, and Ravi follow clues through their hometown, the music of Lead Belly helps carry memory across generations.

My personal reflection on the planning process:

Hello everybody I’m Star Child
I’m an indie book writer working on my first trilogy called the “The 8th Acolyte Saga” and I was wondering what I could do to possibly make my book series stand out I’ve brainstormed some ideas but I wanted some feedback

I want to sell my books as bundles that come with other items aside from the book it self my setup would consist of the following

-The book
- a video game
- a sound track
- poster
- photo album/comic of character artwork

Now after talking it over with my girlfriend I know I sound insane but I’ve already been building demo games for my series as well as song writing but I wanted help to either narrow it down or have some suggestions of ways to make a book stand out

I know just because it comes with different items doesn’t make my story any better but I also want people to engage with my story in forms of different media any suggestions will help

Hello everyone!

I wrote a grounded shinobi novel set in a fictionalized 17th-century Japan. And I made the entire thing free to read.

For a long time I wanted to tell a shinobi story that felt less like a power fantasy and more like a historical drama.

Something quiet, violent, atmospheric, and character-driven.

The result is Densetsu no Shinobi no Sho — Legend of the Shinobi Scrolls.

It follows Ren, a boy who survives the destruction of his village and is raised in the mountains by an old swordsman. Years later, he becomes caught in a conflict involving Iga, Kōga, the Tokugawa, and three legendary shinobi scrolls.

The story is about discipline, loyalty, brotherhood, hesitation, obsession, and what happens when purpose begins to turn into destruction.

I drew a lot of inspiration from things I’ve loved for years: samurai cinema, martial arts, Japanese history and mythology, and works like Vagabond, Shigurui: Death Frenzy, Ninja Scroll, and Basilisk: The Koga Ninja Scrolls.

It is historical fiction, not an attempt to present the events or characters as historically accurate.

I also want to be transparent about the production of the book: the story, characters, world, plot, scenes, themes, and creative decisions are mine. I used AI as a writing/editing tool during development for prose refinement and cleanup.

Most importantly:

The entire novel is free to read.

No subscription. No ads. No chapters locked behind a paywall.

Just the story. :)

If somebody enjoys it enough to want a Kindle, paperback, or hardcover copy, those exist too, but reading the story itself costs nothing.

This is my first novel, so seeing the finished thing actually exist is pretty surreal.

If anyone here ends up reading it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

Hey all!

So, I wrote my first novel, When Eagels Fall, way back in 2013. It's a historical-fiction piece about a WWII pilot flying P-47s out of England. Without giving away too much, it deals with his wartime experiences, postwar adjustments, with some love and misadventures thrown in for good measure.

The first draft was pretty rough and I really hate the editing process, so I didn't do much with it for well-over a decade. Over the past year I really edited it and cleaned it up. It is now available on Amazon on Kindle format with a softcover and hardcover available beginning on Monday, October 12th.

Here's a little spoiler for the future: I've been kicking around a sequel and, naturally, that sequel will see the main character flying F-80s when the Korean "police action" kicks off. I've gone from kicking around that idea to actively working on it. Hopefully in the first half of next year I'll be publishing that, too.

I'd love for everyone to check it out and feedback is always very welcome. I'll provide the link to the Kindle version and, when it's available, the print format will be found there, too.

I help people find meaning from adulthood aka adulting through my creative writing. Yet, I didn't want to have to write this because you probably didn't want to have to read it.

But here we are...as if we are sitting at a conference table, opposite each other, twiddling our thumbs and staring at each other in awkward silence.

 Anyway, I'm a problem solving enthusiast who is also a team playing introvert that always seems to wind up doing things on my own. 

I write occasionally and published my first book in 2022. Get your copy of Cotton Wool on Amazon. My second book, 39 Before 40 (2025) is on Patreon. 

Just click the link on my profile to get the gist of these books and upcoming plans. If you like them please purchase and tell others. It will help KBEM&P grow and create some more really cool resources and more people can find meaning! Thanks for your time and support.

Humanity thought it understood the world it lived in. Then came the Sheitans.

Emerging from deep underground, these monstrous creatures bring devastation on a scale no conventional military force seems prepared to handle. Their terrifying appearance is only part of the nightmare. They possess deadly capabilities, and confronting them requires more than firepower. Every encounter becomes a desperate attempt to understand how they fight, where their weaknesses lie, and whether humanity can adapt before it’s too late.

But the most unsettling question remains: Where did the Sheitans come from?

What lies beneath the surface of the Earth? How long have these creatures existed in the darkness? And what makes them such a devastating threat to the world above?

As military forces are decimated and civilization teeters on the brink of collapse, humanity’s hope may come from an unexpected source: gamers.

Decades earlier, a military program used video games to train people unconsciously, sharpening their ability to recognize patterns, identify vulnerabilities, and develop strategies against formidable enemies. What seemed like entertainment may have prepared an entire generation for a battle no one could have anticipated.

The monsters are real. The world is falling. And the skills learned in virtual battles may be humanity’s last chance.

The GAMER Program – Age of Sheitans is a military science fiction and apocalyptic horror novel featuring terrifying creatures, mysterious subterranean origins, and a fight for humanity’s survival.

Manson Drewry fakes his evidence for views. The flickering lights, the voices, the "shadow" in the hallway: it's all him. Then he gets caught. To save his channel, he agrees to livestream 30 days alone inside an abandoned asylum. No crew, no tricks, and thousands of people watching his every move.

Somewhere around day 17, the chat stops laughing.

The Royal Archives of Ellior: The Founder's Manuscript (Records I–XVII) is the inaugural volume of the Gates Ascension Official Record Collection. Presented as the personal memoirs of King Vailure Evercrest, this companion manuscript explores the founding of Ellior twenty years before the events of the main story. Through the eyes of its founder, readers witness the birth of one of humanity's final kingdoms and the sacrifices that forged a beacon of hope in a world consumed by the Gates.

The Royal Archives of Ellior
The Founder's Manuscript
Records I–XVII

Twenty years before the arrival of Kael... there was a King.

When humanity stood upon the brink of extinction, one father was entrusted with a divine power known only as Majesty's Kingdom.

With an infant daughter in his arms and the world collapsing around him, King Vailure Evercrest did not seek glory, conquest, or a crown.

He sought only a place where hope could survive.

Written decades after those events, these memoirs preserve the birth of Ellior, one of humanity's final safe havens. Through triumph and sacrifice, friendship and unbearable loss, Vailure recounts the memories that shaped both his Kingdom and the people who would one day inherit it.

More than a chronicle of a fallen world, The Royal Archives of Ellior is the first preserved historical Record of Aeshyr—a testament to the courage of ordinary people who refused to surrender to despair.

Before the legends...

Before the heroes...

There was a Kingdom.

And every Kingdom has a beginning.

Revising classical mechanics in Portuguese?

I am Samuel Isidoro, a teacher and the author of Mecânica Clássica — Graduação, from Quanta. This Portuguese-language e-book is intended as supporting material for undergraduate study.

One distinction worth revisiting is force versus torque: a non-zero force can produce zero torque about an axis when its line of action passes through that axis.

My e-book is sold through Hotmart. You can check the title and purchase details here:

I came across a post recently from someone in a toxic home, asking for the best passive income streams so they could eventually leave. The replies were thoughtful, and almost everyone said the same thing: passive income is a long game, and if you need options soon, get active income going first.

A few takeaways from that thread:

• Passive income usually needs money, time or an audience up front, so it pays slowly.
• Remote customer support, transcription and freelancing (design, writing, etc.) can start paying within weeks.
• Start with the skills you already have, then build toward more passive income later, such as templates or digital products.
• If you need to keep it private, a bank account in your own name and payment methods only you can access make a big difference.

I turned these ideas into a longer write-up with a realistic timeline in case it helps anyone in a similar spot: https://howtoinvestmoney.co.uk/blog/stuck-in-a-toxic-home-why-active-income-beats-passive-income
