Book 14 in the series.
When I started, I had no idea if Book 1 would even sell.
Longevity is the real grind in this industry.
Authors writing series, what changed for you between Book 1 and Book 5+?
Jake would absolutely pretend he doesn’t care.
The System knows better.

I've had this joke in my head for the longest time since reading the Primal Hunter lol
Trending pages can be tempting, but like you said, the marathon mindset really pays off in the long run. The audience you’re building now, steady and engaged, will stick around far longer than any short-term spike.
Haha, I love the snake god reference 😅.
You’re doing a lot of things right, consistency in posting, engaging with readers, and experimenting with paid ads is exactly the kind of foundation that compounds quietly before it shows.
Hell yes, my debut novella GRIEF EATER is now live on Barnes and Noble for pre-orders!
I would greatly appreciate any help in spreading the word. Thank you!

Is it update consistency? Reader engagement? Platform visibility?
And more importantly… are you building for steady growth or trying to accelerate at some point?
The early phase is interesting because momentum compounds quietly before it shows on the surface.
That’s honestly a solid foundation. Two to three years refining before publishing already puts you ahead of most.
I’m curious, what’s been driving most of your 332 followers so far?

What most people don’t see?
The years before Book 1 took off.
Authors, what did your “before it worked” phase look like?
'Sinister and malevolent ...' 'Breathless and often gruesome ...' '...an exemplary exercise in style and a fast, compelling read.'
Blown away by this review of THE LODGE on CRIMETIME.

Quietly checking in on my fellow authors today.
You’re not alone in this.
Writing confession: I give better feedback on other people’s work than on my own. 😂

I once thought of myself as ordinary--until some unforeseen things happened to change all that! Secrets revealed .. which turned ordinary into extraordinary. Visit my author page--bio, books, samples, and reviews at amazon.com/author/shann...
That’s such a vivid way to start, like you’re watching the movie in your head as it unfolds on the page. I imagine that kind of flow must make drafting exciting, since you’re discovering the story alongside the characters.
Honestly, there’s no single ‘right’ way, if blasting out a first draft gets the ideas flowing, that’s a win. I’ve found that sometimes the momentum from a fast draft brings out unexpected gems. Do you ever surprise yourself with scenes or characters that weren’t in the plan?
That makes total sense, I’ve had those ‘must write it now’ moments too, even if it means jumping ahead. Do you ever find those spontaneous scenes end up changing the direction of the story, or do they usually fit right into your original plan?
Fellow writers, when you’re deep in a scene, do you write it straight through from start to finish, or do you bounce around, drafting pieces out of order and stitching them together later?

Wow, the atmosphere here is incredible, I could practically feel the darkness and hear the dialogue between the Da’no’no Warriors. Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Do you map everything out beforehand, or let it unfold as you write?
#WedsStory [1/5] I hugged the walls, following the directions that Ki’shto’ba had given me, & came at length into the correct corridor. It was totally black and I cd not see a thing, but I could smell two Da’no’no Warriors & receive their words as they talked idly to each other.
Victorian-esque living room. In the background of the image a man sits dead in a chair, stabbed through the heart. In the foreground, a woman with natural navy-blue hair, a tall woman with silver hair and a fairy with green hair and dark wings study a document.
Hello. I'm an indie #author based in Australia. I write fantasy/whodunnit fiction, following a fairy turned private eye and his allies. It's set in the Kingdom of Rychilla, where steam engines run on elemental magic.
Book 1, 'A Pinch of Distrust' is out and I'm currently working on a sequel.
