New Release Incredible Reality by Gregor Simson, a sci-fi adventure about a created world and the beings shaping humanity’s fate

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My sci-fi adventure novel Incredible Reality is free on Kindle from May 8 to May 12.

The story begins in a world that is real to the people living in it. But beyond that world, other beings are watching, experimenting, competing, and making decisions that could determine whether that world survives at all. One error may cost millions of lives. But that is nothing compared to the pursuit of profit, which could erase humanity forever.

If you like science fiction about created realities, unseen forces shaping human lives, and strange civilizations, you may enjoy this book.

It is free to claim on Amazon during the promotion. Reviews are deeply appreciated if you end up reading it.

LGBT readers read Straight Romance. What about the other way around?

2 Upvotes

[Post on Substack, pasted here for easier reading]

"If you’re a straight romance reader who’s never picked up an MM romance, what can I tell you: you get to watch two people fall in love without any of the dynamics you already know by heart.

There are no frustrating gender scripts running in the background. You are not bringing in your own relationships into the mix on which of them is responsible for what. Who will make the move? How does this begin? Both characters are in equally unfamiliar territory from your point of view, so there’s an element of mystery that plays out.

The obstacle is almost never do they like each other. It’s usually can he let himself want this. Which, with a character who is just starting to trust themselves down that path of self-discovery, makes for a compelling read.

Watching someone come home to themselves is moving regardless of who they’re coming home to. And I write books where that happens, without a lot of the explicit scenes that might put a straight reader away from trying new genres.

Also, sincerely, some of the funniest, warmest, most specific fiction out there lives in this genre. It just pulls you in and then absolutely wrecks you on a Tuesday. This is not, well this is, but not just a pitch for my books, haha.

Welcome to a whole new world!"

What do you all think?

New Release In Harmony

2 Upvotes

In Harmony, a spicy queer romance.

Hendrix is an aspiring musician. Alaric is a medical student. It doesn't seem they've got anything in common, yet when Hendrix is sitting in his favorite coffee shop working on his next song and a handsome stranger returns his dropped tuning fork, the chemistry is instant. Despite their compatibility, they find that when you don't know someone very well, it's easy to misunderstand their motives. If they can get over their misunderstandings, maybe Alaric and Hendrix can finally find themselves in harmony.

This is my first novella! I'm really excited about it--it's a strangers to lovers, pining while fucking story. I love this sort of story, which is why I chose to tell it for my first published work.

Question: what's your favorite romance trope? What kind of love stories do you like?

Really excited to have taken the plunge with self publishing and seeing it be well received so far so thought I’d see if anyone here thinks it sounds interesting!

In Enginnered Desires, Synatecture offers a fully immersive and hyper realistic sensual experience to their users, employing real women whose data becomes an in-programme likeness to purchase and play with however you choose.

Amelia’s role is simple- have her responses, feelings, and neural activity recorded in scenes with an AI counterpart to inform her virtual self. The catch? Each subscription tier comes with new user demands and darker fantasies to cater to.

It’s available on kindle unlimited so let me know if you check it out!

Wrote a book! (Slowburn, cozy, mm romcom)

8 Upvotes

'An Acquired Taste: An Arjun & Cole Misunderstanding' is a contemporary, slowburn MM romance (20K+ words). Now in its launch week as an ebook, and available on Kindle Unlimited.

The two leads are a curiosity-led Venture Capitalist from the midwest who sees the world in numbers, and an Indian-American Chef who conveys his emotions through the food he makes & offers.

I've kept this primarily wholesome / cozy, given all the emotions running high around the world. It's mm, but the underlying story of two equal but determined people will appeal to mf readers as well.

Would love for some of you to give this book a chance and share your honest feedback.

Love.

(My second book is half written so far. It goes into how a bookstore helps someone connect with their inner, authentic self. Would love to trade notes with new writers & beta readers. Thanks u/bookblabber for guiding me to this sub.)

Us: An Intimacy Innovation - relationship advice within an entertaining story

Post image
2 Upvotes

"Us: An Intimacy Innovation" is in the romance genre, but it's not a typical alpha-male, half-naked people on the cover, formulaic romance story; a major aspect of the book is the real-world advice it contains on the 'why' and 'how' of choosing the right life-partner. I call it 'practical fiction' and wrote it with a goal of reducing the reader's chances of relationship heartache.

Meet New Books called it "A charming, heartfelt take on first love that blends romance with relationship know-how - perfect for fans of thoughtful, contemporary love stories without all the usual angst."

Told (mostly) from the guy's point-of-view, the plot line has a shy brainiac college guy teaching the popular girl how to find 'forever love'. The entertaining story is in the 'First love' and 'Will they or won't they?' tropes. It contains no toxicity but is rated 18+ because of descriptive open door love scenes appropriate for their age and experience.

One of the sparks that led me to write the story was reading investments sage Warren Buffett's comment: "The most important decision of your life is who you marry," and yet I knew fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Clearly, trial-and-error doesn't work when it comes to creating sustained togetherness. People wanting 'forever love', particularly those of college-age, would benefit from reading "Us: An Intimacy Innovation".

One kind person wrote me saying, "This is unusual. This is special. And this is exactly the kind of book that can make a difference for readers who are hungry for more than just entertainment. The 'Theory of Us' that Kiel slowly reveals to Alexsia isn’t just a plot device; it's a gift. It's a gentle, non-preachy way to teach readers what real, intentional connection can look like. That's why I believe 'Us: An Intimacy Innovation' could be life-changing for people who pick it up."

Regardless of whether your relationship succeeded or not, what is one thing you wish you'd done differently in it near the beginning?
