THREE LIVES. ONE CITY. NO WAY OUT.

In the domed city of Neon, a data runner, a detective, and an android prototype learn the same lesson.

The city does not forget, and it does not let go.

Protocol: A5H - A cyberpunk noir story

Out now on Amazon Kindle.

These are the things I learn after years of using a platform 😅

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

A book you like on Indie Sprawl doesn't have to disappear when you close the page. You can save it to a Want to Read list, and I added that so you can come back to it later.

This is why I pay for my AI subscriptions.

@ChartnCompass That's the way to go about it. Don't look at the mountain peak. Just look down at your feet moving forward.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

It's easy to scroll through this app and feel behind. Someone else's book has a hundred reviews in its first week, and yours is sitting there quietly. I spent three years writing my debut novel, and finding readers for it has been slow too. I've stopped treating that as proof that something is wrong. A slow start doesn't say much about whether a book is good. If your book is in a quiet stretch right now, it hasn't failed. It's still early.

An ancient system is weaponizing the sun over dying Kestrel, and Commander Zahra Nwafor's rescue carrier is the last ship that can still respond. I put The Last Ship to Kestrel by Julian Venn in Indie Sprawl #7.

Six indie sci-fi books, and none of them has more than six ratings on Amazon yet. Indie Sprawl is here to help. Issue #7, Worlds at Threshold, is live.

Thank you Michael Mueller (@entarwar), Anders Bøte (@andersbote), Julian Venn, Chandra Clarke, Steve Kelly and IG Peters for six stories about systems, cities and fleets at the edge of change.

One thing I didn’t think much about before publishing a book was how often I’d have to talk about it afterward.

I can spend hours working on a chapter. Writing a few lines asking someone to give the finished book a chance somehow feels harder.

There’s always that worry that I’ve mentioned it too often. But someone who sees a post today might have missed every other one.

I’m trying to get more comfortable with that. I put a lot of work into my book. It’s okay to want people to read it.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@AnnaLishman Yep! I see you're working on your first sci-fi novel? That's awesome btw. I published my debut sci-fi novel last year. Let me know if you want to chat.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

If you're writing your first book and you're scared it's not good, keep going. Mine wasn't good at first either. The first draft just has to exist. You fix the rest later.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@HelloSarahJoe 100%. That's why I just tell myself to write the worst first draft ever produced. It takes the edge off it.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@davidwmenefee That's a good tip 🙏

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@CoreyAFrazier You're welcome! Happy to see it shine on Indie Sprawl.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

Indie Sprawl has one goal: help books like these get found, and issue #6, Who Gets to Choose, is now live. Thank you Mylo Rejsek, Tiffany Nieslanik, Corey A. Frazier (@CoreyAFrazier), Jon Ross Aldridge, James WJ Wilson and Lauren C. Teffeau for six very different sci-fi stories about trust and the choices people still get to make.

Take the risk.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

I added a way for authors to suggest their own books on Indie Sprawl. If you've written an indie sci-fi novel, you can send it in for consideration for a future issue: https://t.co/BS0OGBgbae

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@marsmagnuswin Honestly, that's the best way to go about it 😂

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

@CharmaineL45601 Absolutely! That's the right mindset.

[Daniel Goené @Daniel_Goene]

I'm trying to grow my audience here, and honestly it's slow. But every new person who follows because something I wrote meant something to them makes it feel worth it. Thank you for being here.
