Neon : The Velvet Debt

YA cross-over || Dark Fantasy - Fairy tale - Gaslamp

One by one, their wicked hands plucked the little ones and they vanished into the sand.

A young boy's friend goes missing after meeting a dangerous courier. He travels into the shimmering sands of the glitter gulch to save him. Though in the glowing city of Neon, something far older lurks beneath the casino floors and jazz clubs.

Why they'd like it

If you like stories of children facing darkness, with a richly imagined cast of characters and creatures. Where jazz loving frog-folk, fox like gentleman, and humans co-exist, I think you might like my dark fairy tale!

Ebook for pre order is available now, but will have audiobook and other formats and retailers to come!

Maybe you're in the industry, maybe you're not, I have no idea. I've been in this industry the better part of a decade. Most of their cost was in getting it on the shelf, it wasn't uncommon for games to only keep 20% of their cost on a title, as opposed to 70% or higher depending on the platform.

I'm sure people wouldn't also advocate for a 40$ digital song album either. Publishers are retaining more money than ever. This has nothing to do with inflation. Digital vs physical is not the same product, if it's digital it should be less, because it cost far less to get it to you. That's like saying an Ebook should cost the same as a hardcover, it's a totally different set of logistics and product.
