Congrats! This means someone thought your stuff was good enough to give to the world!
Thanks, yes forgive my humblebragging. I'll have more books coming out soon and...uh...hopefully some kind of a way to turn writing into some sort of a job.
It's on kindle so it can have its DRM removed and a pure pdf/epub extracted.
You know I went to the Space Corps goodreads page and the review from "CoD-profilepic Jim" really reads like a bit. Pretty amazing to find such unironic bazinga in the wild.
An Earth united by workers councils is unbelievable, but a literal empire is acceptable :tito-laugh:
The future having socioeconomic and political changes :wojak-nooo:
The future resembling the past, including feudalism :so-true:
Military SF is a highly reactionary genre
They're fine with atrocities and war crimes and colonialist apologia but you better not take the Lord's name in vain :frothingfash:
Great way to tell that these men were never in any military service.
"Swearing like a sailor" isn't a saying that appeared out of thin air one day
Awesome, that's a lot of engagement for an independently published book. Gives me hope for my own endeavors.
:lenin-laugh: to your Amazon biography emphasizing that you're "extremely interested in determining the price of a roll of linen."
eh mine are on there too. Audiobookbay as well. Honestly, since I use both I can't really complain. They're on Kindle Unlimited anyway, so it's actually easier for most people to read them legitimately
Hello it's me, you're Chuck Tingle. Nah, I write stuff that veers close to erotica, but not in a funny way like Tingle. Romance and all that
Ebook piracy is the easiest kind of piracy to do. The file sizes are small, the DRM is incredibly easy to remove, there's no lossy conversion involved, and you can checkout ebooks for free at your local library's website, most libraries use an ebook service called OverDrive (or you buy the book on Amazon and return it after you've made a copy with DRM removed). There's tons of piracy sites that tell their users to check there local library for ebooks that are not on the site and to upload them to the site.
Nice, did miss there were Lib books being published by this site. Good setting! Might be really something for my dad, too, he was into all that stuff.
Do you plan to do book tours by chance (excuse to visit Europe)?
Completely understandable! However when the tides turn feel free to reach out. Might not be able to generate a buzz, but might be able to have a friend couch surf you in Berlin.
I'm just gonna throw it out that if you wanted to move to a pay-what-you-want model + patreon, this site would be a good place to launch that.
That's my plan with the next trilogy I'll be releasing. Other writers release one free chapter per day, then let you subscribe to a patreon if you want to devour more chapters before they're released. Once the books are fully released that way, I'll put them on Amazon. I have enough content right now to last about 4.5 months, and I don't trust myself to finish the third book in the trilogy before that time runs out, so it's probably going to be at least another six months before I can finish the third book and start releasing chapters. It's a litrpg historical fantasy which takes place in the 11th century, and, yes, it's all about building a workers' state in the Middle Ages.
It's pretty easy to strip the DRM stuff off of library files by doing file conversions. Sometimes it will screw up the text, but most of the time it won't, and even when it does it takes like an hour to futz with it.
I can only hope that one day I write a book and it's so good people want to steal it on the Internet
can i be the voice for the audiobook? i sound like a mouse and squeak a lot i promise it will be very good
The publisher told me that they would do audiobook versions if the books sold enough, but...uh...those versions haven't quite materialized, if that tells you anything.
