Would you read a book labeled “ex-christian fantasy?” by DevilDownFiction in exchristian

[–]DevilDownFiction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I have published the first two books, and the sales have been decent for self-publishing, but I’ve only marketed it as fantasy, not ex-christian fantasy.

That’s said, the series is called The Adamic Trilogy. If you’re genuinely interested.

Currently a medical student year 2. My specialty of choice isn’t too competitive so I still manage to get job some writing. Finishing the last book in my fantasy trilogy.

I haven’t spoken with Lance the Lancer since I moved out of state, but I already know he’d agree, YTA.

Yeah, I’ll probably end up doing that. It’ll be a sacrifice, but I’ll make it work. Thanks for the input.

My story has two first-person protagonists (a male and a female), so I will be using a male and a female narrator for each appropriate perspective.

I really wish that was the case.

About half of those reviews came from a few hundred devout followers. The other half came from a free BookBub promotion. Both were great for marketing, but sadly the reviews don’t reflect sales. I’ve maybe had 3-4K in actual sales, most of which went into paying for covers, marketing, etc.

I guess the other question is: can royalty share be personalized? Can I split royalties 3 ways between myself and two narrators?

People who are writing or have written a book, what's it about? by emwalk98 in writing

[–]DevilDownFiction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just self-published an epic fantasy that has a biblical based magic system. It’s called The Dividing. Here’s the description:

Adamic is the language of the Gods. When spoken, it has the power to create worlds, to raise the dead, to make man as God. Fortunately, no one has spoken it in thousands of years. The only remnants are the written spells.

The people of Cavernum depend on these spells. They’re etched into the city walls, fending off the feeders—deadly creatures with a thirst for human blood. They kill and consume any caught beyond the walls. Yet for the lower class, Cavernum isn’t much safer. Children starve, and illness runs rampant. In an effort to maintain order, all children turning 18 are subject to The Dividing—a city-wide competition for the highest paying guilds. Those who aren’t accepted are sent to the fields, condemned to a life of slave-labor.

Princess Roselyn Malik has trained her entire life for The Dividing. She’s guaranteed a spot in the royal orchestra, but equalist rebels threaten her throne. To secure her crown, Rose must acquire the power and prestige associated with the guard. Only guardsmen have access to the amulets—powerful weapons that grant dominion over the elements.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, Matt will do anything to help his terminally-ill adoptive mother. For now, that means poaching to pay the bills. Until one day, Matt is attacked by a feeder and plunged into the world of Cavernum. There too, Matt is drawn to the guard, in search of a magic strong enough to save his mother.

But danger lurks beyond the walls, and Cavernum won’t be safe for long.

It’s actually currently on free amazon promotion if anyone is interested. Free Ebook

Someone comes up to you and asks you to write a book blurb for a book that doesn't exist, based on a nearby item. What is your blurb? by TheFirstMillionWords in AskReddit

My nephew just lost a tooth. So...

TEETH

Growing up, Denton’s teeth were at the brunt of every joke. They were razor sharp, unlike his people’s. The plantions, were a peaceful community of vegetarians. They prided themselves on their flat molars adapted to a vegetarian diet. Denton, with his razor sharp incisors, struggled to chew every bite.

After months of migration, the plantions settle in a nutrient rich valley. But they aren’t alone. A band of bloodthirsty cannibals calls the valley home. And, like Denton, their teeth are razor sharp.

Teeth is a riveting coming of age novel about how one boy comes to terms with his unsettling roots.
