The 'magic' in my worlds is 'enhanced PSI ability' genetically imbued into favored humans and select members of other races thousands of years ago by the 'ancient aliens,' who imported groups of these peoples as servants and test subjects. These utterly inhuman aliens had high natural PSI...

This used to come up in an Astrophysics subforum I used to embarrass myself in. Put bluntly, there is no way to tell if other universes exist. Additional dimensions within our universe are allowed. The other thing that came up was time travel. The rules were: 'Times Arrow' is not completely...

The capsule version of my writing history.

I'll take a stab at the numbers this time. 5-6 books a week = 260-312 books a year x 50 years = 13,000-15,600 books up until 2024 (ages 10-60), when I had to scale back due to eye issues.

Going from the reviews (and the sheer number of freebies during the last Smashwords promo), I seem to have some fans...maybe enough to fill two or three tables at a diner. Then again, I might be delusional.

In terms of sales, by my standards, you are a smashing success. You have literally sold 95 times the number of books that I have, though in my case, it is eleven books over three and a half years. As to the rest...when a hobby becomes a job, is it worth it? The pressure to produce outweighing...

I will add it to the trad and review list. I make it a point to read and review a book or three by published Mythic Scribes authors.

One notch above nil. My daughter used to be into Pokémon. I believe it is based on Bushido.

Up until a few years ago, I probably read a book a day, or maybe five a week, depending on other stuff going on. These days, owing to eye issues, it is 1-2 a week, most of them being review copies.

I remember Wrede from way, way back. She had several intriguing fantasy novels set in the same world.

Most of my foreign reviews from Bookroar and Authentic did eventually show up on the main Amazon site. Those, and the ones from Authentic, were spread out among a lot of books, most of which still have only 5-8 reviews.

Yeah, I got the same notice. On the one hand, I had just ten reviews from them last year, compared with about sixty from Authentic. On the other hand, I would not have gotten most of those ten reviews from Authentic. I am debating trying Bookroar for a month and seeing if it is worthwhile.

Read my earlier post. Check out the thread that I linked to.

I encountered a few quasi-relatives and old friends from work at my grandson's birthday party on 12/30/2025. Two of them were impressed that I was an author. I gave one three books...and the other took a whole set. (I am almost out of Author copies.)

The reality is that there are something like 20 million books on Amazon. 95% of those books will never sell more than 200 copies. Maybe 2% - call it a few hundred thousand - will sell more than 5000-6000 (which is counted as a success even among traditional publishers. We have something on the...
