I write indie fantasy fiction with romantic subplots and happy endings. Mostly enjoyable fluff, occasional serious vibes, never epic or grim. To date, my books are:

Fair Haven: in Stronghold Fair Haven, Hazel’s job is to protect the Mancer, a highly-prized magical engineer. When a runaway Mancer requests sanctuary, bringing the threat of invasion in zheir wake, Hazel’s comfortable life is disrupted in more ways than one (m/nb and m/m romances) (Coming November)

The Uses of Illicit Art: Artisans have narrow magical powers in this pseudo-Victorian world, and Kit’s underwhelming Art is unlocking any door. Criminal gangs find it useful, though, so he’s hiding out to avoid them. Then bounty hunter Alexander Locke comes for him. Don’t worry. Kit’s very good at locks 😉 (m/m romance)

Domain Trilogy: Rana’s adventures in a land governed by Grimm begin when the fairytale prince fails to show up to rescue the princess and Rana decides to just do it herself. She hasn’t reckoned with the charms of one wicked wizard. But sometimes fairy tales are just plain horrible and you have to work very hard for your happy ending (f/m romance)

Mosaic Virus Duology: a virus transforms women into creatures known as Mosaics, mindless, eerily beautiful…and collectible. Simon collects Mosaics for his king, but his latest catch is not so easily collected. She hasn’t yet lost her mind, and she has plans for Simon (f/m and m/m romances)

You can read more about each book and find purchase links on my website, including for Kobo Plus and Scribd subscribers.

If an #ebook subscription service sounds like it might be for you, please consider supporting one that isn't owned by #Amazon, that exploits its dominant position to force authors into exclusivity deals preventing their work from being available elsewhere. There are alternatives to #KindleUnlimited, including (but not limited to) #Scribd. @bookstodon

So I spotted a #copyright infringement at the weekend (someone uploaded my e-book to #scribd w/o permission) so I reported it and they... took it down within 48 hours without argument?

Is this a world first?

Meine Frau meinte gestern abend, ich solle doch ein Abo bei #Scribd abschließen, das könnte sich für mich lohnen.
Da ist aber zuviel Englischsprachiges. Jetzt bin ich über #legimi gestolpert, die bieten auch ebookreader mit an, und der ebookreader könnte auch hörspiele abspielen. Das gefällt mir gefühlt besser.
Erfahrungen irgendwer?

How do #authors feel about #scribd? Are you in fact paid fairly? Or is it just a book version of Spotify where you get like a fourth of a penny when a book is read? I love Scribd but I want to be fair to #writers. #BooksTodon

Now I could understand if I'd been reading a ton of books - but I hadn't! And #Scribd was strangely showing several books I hadn't completed (not even close) as being finished.

Some Googling revealed this isn't new behavior on their part: https://bookaholicdreamer.wordpress.com/2018/10/10/discussion-the-dark-side-of-scribd/

Anyone else experienced this? Am I crazy for thinking this is ridiculous behavior?

So, umm, #scribd isn't really unlimited #books...or even anywhere in the ballpark. Read on for the really shady story.

I recently finished a trial with #Perlego which I loved - but it was a few bucks more a month than #Scribd and doing some searches I saw Scribd had many of the same books, so I figured I'd give Scribd another try (it'd been a few years and they were offering me another 30 day free trial).

Everything seemed good at first, I was merrily adding books to my saved list and

1 of ?

I have long thought that #netflix must intentionally provide a subpar #discovery experience because it helps keep costs low (folks end up watching #films with low royalties instead of big blockbusters). I now feel this is also the case for #scribd. There are so many good #books but they are extremely difficult to find among all the detritus.

Other companies I imagine do this but few so heavy handed as these two. Ohh, another one is #Amazon Prime Video. Or am I just making things up?

has anyone used #Perlego? It's an alternative to #Scribd and #AmazonKindleUnlimited for #ebooks.

They only offer a 7 day trial but I was impressed by the quality and quantity of #books It's a tad on the expensive side comparatively ($18/mo.) but it includes a huge number of academic/professional books.

I'm on a 30 day trial of Scribd now (I've used it in the past, but it's been a few years) and am not nearly as impressed.

I REALLY dislike how Scribd has such a small limit on how many books you can read in a month. I just got my whole list of books I am interested in back on the 17th. Now half the books, including one I was actively reading are sidelined until June 17th. I just wish I could spend more and get a bigger limit. I would pay double the price for this and I am sure there are others in the same predicament.
