Please Buy My Books

Why is it dirty or inappropriate to ask you to buy my books?

The first books of my Void Incursion, Forgotten Fodder, and Source Chronicles series (covers by Starla Huchton)

As of this writing, I have on Amazon, for Kindle, paperback, and an audiobook or two, the following:

That’s 11 books available for purchase. By the end of 2021, there will be 4 more.

  • Three sci-fi Forgotten Fodder books
  • One sci-fi Void Incursion novel

That’ll bring me to 15 books in multiple genres for you, your family, and friends to buy and read.

This is not just my passion — this is my chosen vocation. I’m plotting to release at least another 6 novels in 2022, completing the Void Incursion series, adding book three of The Source Chronicles, a new story arc for Forgotten Fodder, and launching another sci-fi/sci-fantasy series tentatively called Savagespace.

This is what I love to do. Creating new worlds, interesting characters, and so on. I share my process to help and encourage others on the same journey.

So how come it feels wrong, dirty, and inappropriate to ask you to buy my books?

I pay for some advertising, drop hints requesting sales — why is there a stigma to outright asking you to buy my books?
