The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy

5 stars

audiobook

It literally felt like coming home when I started this book! The feel, the atmosphere, everything, like the two previous series set at Briar U, I was all in from the start. Gigi and Ryder were, well, they sparked off each other. They challenged each other. They worked so well together. They brought out the best in each other. They frustrated each other. And the chemistry, the heat,  those were stratospheric with how much in sync and in tune with each other they were. It is a slow burn for the first half of the book, and once it takes off, watch out, it is scorching hot! Secret relationship, lots of amazing supporting characters, no third act break-up, and the passion they have on and off the ice, mesmerizing. These two are most definitely one of the top couples of the year for me <3

Even dreams must come to an end The more you desire, the more betrayal you get "If it isn't me, then who else?" Is there no other reason to support that question? Ah, what a spectacular failure! HELP!! I want to walk on the mainstream path Daddy, Mummy, I couldn't be a good boy, until the end (That's why) HELP!! This cowardice takes over me Nothing but selfishness within those acts of kindness (HELP!!)

I love how transparent you are about what its like to be a self published author in this day and age, and i was just wondering if there was a difference on your side between amazon ebook/paperback and audible - and also if Scribd is any better, because i use it as an alternative to amazon whenever possible (and whenever the library doesnt own a copy of whatever im looking for) is it functionally all the same? What is best for you?

Thank you!

I actually did a huge long post a while back when I got the audiobooks produced and uploaded to various platforms. I included Scribd in the breakdown after people falsely claim that Scrib is better for authors than Amazon/Libraries.

A lot of people were not happy when I burst that particular bubble by showing that Scribd paid me 97 cents out of the 19.99 price tag. Which is less than what Audible paid me.

Now, obviously, Scribd is different because it's a subscription service, and you’re paying for access to multiple things with that subscription. But saying it is better than libraries is just false because I also showed the numbers for that, and my income from libraries was several times higher than both Scribd and Amazon combined (for audio), which is why authors are always begging people to request their work in libraries.

Libraries pay us better and are usually free. Not always. I know it depends heavily on the country, but for most of my English-speaking audience, that is the case.

Now, this is not to say people shouldn’t use services like Scribd. If Scribd is what you can afford and it gives you access to things your library can’t fantastic. Please continue to access our work through that legal option. I would much rather earn 97 cents than zero.

But uh, yeah, Amazon pays me more than Scrib for digital stuff and I really don’t like when people who aren’t on the author side spread misinformation and frame it as some more “gotcha.”

The sad truth is Most retailers pay us the same or within the same royalty range. The difference I earn between Kobo vs Kindle is literal pennies with Amazon coming out on top. I make my work available on multiple platforms to give people options, but unless you’re buying directly from my personal storefront, it's all roughly the same.

I do actually earn more from Amazon paperbacks than I do any other retailers (for self-pub, paperbacks are a flat rate regardless of how much a retailer is charging), but the difference is about ten cents, so I always tell people to buy from wherever is best for them.

I like bookshop.org because they give some of the profit on their end to indie bookstores. Same with libro.fm for audio.

Audiobooks are just a whole fucking nightmare. Audible sets your price point for you and takes 80% of your royalties. And because Audible does that, I have to then use that price tag on all other platforms or risk being fucked by the algorithm gods. Other audio retailers take about 60-70% in royalties, most of them veering toward 70%.

As we say in radical acceptance therapy, it is what it is—fucking end-stage monopoly driven capitalism.

Now, speaking personally, when it comes to digital media, I earn the most royalties from my Payhip store where I keep 90% of my income.

That's the best place for me.

It's also why it's worth looking up an author you like to see if they have their own storefront. It doesn't help our sales rankings or put us on any bestseller lists, but frankly after launch week, who cares. I’ll take being able to feed me and my dog.

I hope that helps!

Victor Her Ruthless Crush by Theodora Taylor

5 stars

audiobook 

Whoa, I love and hate the things these characters went through! Going into it and knowing it was a trilogy had that sense of impending doom from the start, but the turns it took, did not see that coming at all.  Make sure you have all the books lined up, because at the end of this one, you will need to start the next one ASAP

Hello! So I'm an indie writer and I'm wondering what digital platforms can a book be pulled from in order to send it y'alls way? Is it that there needs to be a unique ISBN or can one that comes along with like, kindle or D2D for example, work for Libby things?

Hello!

Unique ebook-specific/audio-specific ISBNs are definitely the most useful for our searching purposes. If you're distributing through D2D and other aggregators like that, we'll have a much better chance of being able to find and purchase your work!

We don't have much access to Amazon-exclusive titles, and that includes indie and self published. OverDrive supports Kindle formats so you can read library books on your Kindle, but if the book is only available through Amazon/Kindle, it's probably not available for us to buy in OverDrive. D2D, IPG, LightningSource, & Kobo are some of the aggregators and self publishing platforms that we can buy from, but there are probably others as well.

Plus, we're working with a specific catalog of materials that are available to nonprofit libraries. That catalog is determined by copyright distribution decisions by authors or publishers. So it's possible that on your end, as the author, you'd need to authorize nonprofits and other corporate libraries to sell your work through the aggregator! Unfortunately that's all I know from our end. I can't really tell you HOW to do that because I don't know what it looks like on that side. You may have to contact somebody at the publishing platform to figure that out.

And let us know which titles you think would be great for our collection! You can submit an acquisition request on our website at any time!

I hope this helps! Thanks for this question, it was great! <3

What the sea has drawn together, let no man tear asunder

Sailing by Carina's Star (The Constellation Trilogy, #2) is out in the world today! This book is about facing your past. About not letting fear destroy you (and what happens when you do). About who history deems monsters and what it takes to speak the truth. About cracking the darkness to find an ounce of light.

And pirates, of course.

You can grab your copy from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop, Kobo, Book Depository, and more in e-book or paperback right here!

Many, many thanks to my partner @librarianladyx, who has helped with literally everything from copy edits to scraping me up off the floor when I felt I wouldn't get this book right. To @amarguerite, who helped me edit this beast of a middle book and who made it better. To @brightmouth and @rosesutherlandwrites, and @jannagnoelle, for being wonderful friends (and also early readers). To @prosodi, who created this gorgeous cover. To @4beit, who is always one of my best brainstorming friends. To all my friends in the Les Mis fandom, who have supported this project since its early days on Ao3. It wouldn't be here without you because you gave me the confidence to put it out in the world!

And hey, if this sounds interesting to you, and stories about family, queerness, and pirates fighting colonialism are your jam and you haven't read the first book, it's available in print, e-book, and now, audio!

#Here it is !!!! #Sailing by Carina's Star #The Constellation Trilogy #Please send photos when you get your copies!!! I want to see

[authorsadiethatcher]

It's time for another State of the Thatcher address. And this year I do it on the American Independence Day. For those who are celebrating, enjoy the day.

The last couple months have been filled with a lot of work, writing multiple books, as well as my next fantasy novel. There have been a few ups and downs over that time, with Amazon being slow to publish a few books. But overall, everything is going along as planned.

I've got a few special things happening this month. At the top of the list is the books I have in the Smashwords Summer (winter for those in the southern hemisphere) Sale. A bunch of my back catalogue books are available for half off all month. Link below.

I am also participating in the Fantasy Romance Book Fair this month, with all the participating books available in Kindle Unlimited. I know where I'll be picking up my next fantasy reads this month. https://books.bookfunnel.com/fantasyromancejuly/5o7c1hfzq6

Amazon is where most people find my books, so here’s a link to my catalogue: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sadie-Thatcher/author/B00B4MINAC

Smashwords is a great place to buy books, especially if you don’t like Amazon’s evil empire. You can find them here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/sadiethatcher

Plus, you can find them at the Google Play bookstore: https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Sadie+Thatcher

I’ve added a new way you can get my books. It’s called Ream and it’s a bit like Patreon, but its author specific, made by authors for authors. In addition getting to read all of my new books for a monthly subscription fee, I also give you access to the images that didn't quite make the cut for my covers. You can see my Ream page here: https://reamstories.com/page/lhssployqw

Additionally, my books are available through Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Scribd. I don’t have links to those stores handy, but if that’s where you like to buy books from, my books will show up there, eventually. I distribute through Smashwords and have to wait until the review team there approves my books for distribution. This can take days or even weeks.

If fantasy is your thing, take a look at all of my novels under my other pen name here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Libby-Feron/author/B09PJ9J5RN

And if you sign up for the Libby Feron newsletter, you get exclusive content and updates like cover reveals before anyone else. I have a bonus prequel scene up for the Magic’s Most Wanted Series that will be exclusive to newsletter subscribers. You can sign up here: https://libbyferon.com/newsletter/

With the fantasy novel plug complete, let me also mention some of the cool stories I have coming out in the next month month.

I’ve got two more books in the Bimbo at Home Series to release. There's conversion into traditional gender roles, harems, lactation, and so much more.

I also have a series upcoming that features a society where all women become bimbos when they turn 21 years old by law. If a woman wants to contribute to society in another way, they have until their 21st birthday to make their mark.

There will be a commission later this month that really focuses on the mental side of bimbofication. This should be a fun one.

Finally, I still intend to eventually release Fake It Until You Make It in audio. However, my narrator is suffering from a late bout of allergies that makes recording difficult. As soon as those allergies clear up, expect progress to be made on that front.
