Monthly KDP transparency post: July edition!
Most of those “orders” were from the free promo for Pawns, but this was my second best month for KU page reads. Still a long way to go, but it’s encouraging!
An awesome new review of Envoys on Fanfiaddict! Check it out!

29.07.2025 01:54 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just finished The Pawns of Havoc by @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social and enjoyed it throughout. Really packs a lot into a smaller page count without feeling overly dense or bogged down if that makes sense.
I’ll pick up The Envoys of War to see where things go in this series and world.

Always amazing to hear things like this about something you wrote!

People are getting hyped for Locks & Keys: A Fantasy Anthology. If you're not signed up for an ARC, you're missing out.
Also some of these book review locations are... unconventional lol. Looking at you @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social
Yesss!! Wishbone is the greatest

Coming soon to a Willow Wraith Press YouTube channel near you:
2 Scamps, a new show hosted by @Nick_A_Writes and myself, where we’re exploring the chaos of indie publishing through roundtables, special events, shenanigans, and bad jokes.
First show this Sunday: more to come on that soon!
I've officially hit 20,000 page reads lifetime on Kindle Unlimited! More than half of that has been in June and July, and 19,600 of it is Envoys.
Onward and upward!!
I raised my ebook prices a few weeks ago. I’m proud of my books, and selling at 2.99 and .99 just felt too low. I’m not writing books because I think I’ll make a profit, but I needed to make a change.
Envoys is 4.99 now and Pawns is 1.99. Still cheaper than a cup of coffee.
If your number one goal in life is to be in a book club with me, now’s your chance!

Inching closer to 50 ratings on Goodreads for Pawns! We’re at 47 right now!
Envoys is going strong at 109!
Also included, a picture of Booger and Frankie the dachshunds, who I’m taking care of this weekend!
I do love coffee and curry, and autumn is probably my favorite season!
