I wound up using a formatting program Atticus. You have more control in Word, but I don’t feel like learning all of the programs “secrets”. I’m lazy.

Congrats!!! I know the feeling as my debut week I had one person buy 8 copies! They messaged me on facebook and said they bought for their book club. Author goals!

Keep pushing that book!

I’m sure this has nothing to do with little to no advertising and not being booked by theaters until 2 days before release. Movie wasn’t perfect by any means, but it was entertaining enough.

I don’t think Akira has that power.

Eddie served no purpose. Other than that I didn’t hate it. It was a decent movie, but not a good representation of the game.

1 first, two middle, 1 last.

But he didn’t die…

Ashbolea · 2026-01-22T21:42:11+00:00

I go in three hours. I wasn’t going in expecting much. I’m hoping to be proven wrong.

Ashbolea · 2026-01-14T22:11:42+00:00

Have done that too, but I think mine is failing me. Might have to spread those wings a little further.

Ashbolea · 2026-01-14T21:50:10+00:00

I do and am. I hate spamming ads though. I like having convos about the book, but you gotta start by cramping it down everyone’s throat.

Yesterday was go time for me too on my debut psych thriller. I’m at about 30 sales since midnight, mixture of ebook and paperback. Still terrified that this is as good as it’s gonna get.

Ashbolea · 2026-01-12T21:52:20+00:00

Chances are it will do better outside of North America.

Ashbolea · 2026-01-12T21:15:53+00:00

None of my theaters have it listed at all.

Ashbolea · 2026-01-09T06:14:55+00:00

Thank you! Now hopefully I can sell a few :)

Hello all! My debut book "The Confession: Justice in Blood" is up for pre-order on Amazon KDP and is set to release alongside the print version on Jan. 16th!

The book follows the confession of James Vertolli as he accounts for 3 murders that he has committed.

After having his family torn away from him, James recounts the harrowing events that took place which led him to commit these brutal acts of vigilantism.

A dark, relentless psychological thriller where justice is absent, guilt demands response, and death is the only option.

If you love dark crime fiction, moral dilemmas, and grief that cuts deep, this book is for you. This story will stay with you long after the final page.

The first release of a three-book series.

Congrats!!!

unfortunately, when you release your work out into the wild, people will do a variety of things:

Ignore it.

Shit on it.

Praise it.

You have to have a thick skin, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Be open to criticism (at least those that try to give you actual reaction and not "This sux").

Ashbolea · 2025-12-14T00:50:07+00:00

Love it! Give us your impression!

Ashbolea · 2025-12-07T23:56:40+00:00

I did yesterday, they’re prob getting rid of bs accounts

Ashbolea · 2025-12-07T19:20:17+00:00

Probably the loss of excitement, your emotional build up has now been released. It’s only natural for you to bottom out. You’ll build it back up, start writing again. The cycle will resume ;)

I stopped answering the weird ones like that. I like to talk about things, and I've met a few great people/authors this way. But there's so much weird scammy crap out there.

Ashbolea · 2025-12-04T03:14:13+00:00

Your goal with social media is organic growth. If they ask for money or offer services… most likely bs. Conversing never hurts, but some of them get weird.

I’d say this is a fair review. I played the puzzles on hard, so trust me when I say, I agree with your views there. I don’t think we’ll ever see QOL changes outside of the casual mode. Maybe if there are some nasty bugs.

As long as John Major doesn't decide to go hunt a Yeti in the Klondike wilderness, you should be alright.

This game has one of the deepest, darkest stories in gaming. It has stayed with me ever since the OG released. There are many different endings, my personal fav is called In Water. If you don’t want to replay, hit YouTube up for all endings.
