"This is stunningly good.
Her thoughts and feelings, her anxiety and release...It makes for a fantastic book, some of the most scorching sex I have read, and I'm very keen to explore more of Archer Tinto's work.
All the stars! Very, very highly recommended!"
Just crunched all the numbers...
In 2025 as an indie author I sold:
• 1,435 paperback copies
• 151 ebooks
• 35 audio books
• 76,476 KDP pages read
Not only did I break even but I actually made a profit! This is the best year I've ever had! I'm beyond ecstatic!
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
Strayed from the path doesn’t begin to cover how a private equity new owner has trashed and cheapened what used to be quality food.
From a 1991 start at the farmers market, Stonewall Kitchen now proudly uses bioengineered and genetic engineered “food”.
No thanks. Hard pass!
@perseverare1776 Other than humans who make the same body decorating choice (or have it forced up upon them), what other smart animals or relatively intelligent creatures can you think of that you ever see with nose rings?
Hard pass. ChatGPT and TikTok are already making the next generation fucking illiterate. We shouldn’t devalue and dumb down our work because of “modern” attention spans.
@stephenRB4 Perhaps we all need to agree the younger generation is too easily offended?
All generations for millennia prior, and I suspect, centuries ahead, don’t deserve participation awards just for existing. The hard-working full stop can be at the end of their long list of grievances.
"Got the spirit of the #AnneRice vampire beginnings mixed with an X rating, thumbs up"
I don't think you could have given me a better compliment. My favorite author!
