Is Kobo or the Barnes and Noble digital platform any good. Looking at removing my ebook from Amazon

I honestly didn't even know old-school book blogs were still a thing. Everything I read told me it was social media platforms nowadays (which also only really work if your genre is romantasy).

Are there any in particular you'd recommend reaching out to for cozy sci-fi/YA Star Trek style books?

I have not! What is this witchery of which you speak?

Yeah I figured that was probably the case. I would much rather sink the $500 into ads , would likely see a bigger returnβ€”that said, I'm happy with my 1-2 organic sales every week πŸ˜‰

Question for my fellow #writers out there - does getting a Kirkus Review actually do anything for you, or is it just a moneymaking thing for them?

Checked my Amazon reports and I made another sale yesterday. It's awesome knowing that there's people out there interested in buying my book, who I don't personally know!

Ava stood her ground, feet set wide, defiance locked on the opponent before her. She reached across to her left bicep and pulled free the handle strapped there. Her gaze didn’t waver. Every thought fixed on the beast ahead. She remembered her training with Tir, tried to rein in her rage by narrowing her eyesβ€”but that only sharpened her vision on the target.

No one hurts my friends.

With a sharp downward flick, she dropped her arm back to her side. A blade shot out from the handle, snapping into place as if it were part of her. She twisted her wrist a quarter-turn. Light surged through the inlaid patterns, racing from hilt to tip like molten metal filling a mold. As each section of the retractable blade caught the glow, the edge blurred, vibrating too fast to hold a single form.

The PhonoSword was a warrior’s weapon. Once wielded in Heraclitian wars, it had become a relic of ceremony. But that was before this vile creature nearly killed Zumi. Ceremony meant nothing now. Justice came first.

This isn't in any of my books (yet), but I had the coolest idea for a weapon and had to write a quick piece about it.

A fun exercise in what happens when you apply the musical physics of your universe to weapons as well as technology.

On September 13th I'll be remove Zero-Point Symphony from Kindle Unlimited. Amazon has been doing a lot of shady stuff recently, especially with Audible, and I don't want to support any of their subscription models.

Appreciate the support, I would say it's more on the Star Trek side of sci-fi, mostly focused on characters and has some cool world building, easy to understand technobabble.

I hope you enjoy, let me know!
