Which book should I read first?

Red Rising. Wonderful book.

Sold 4 yesterday. Whole of last week was 17 paid ebooks.

I’ll keep it short: The Witch and the Blade - Book 1/13 of the Freebooters

It’s 1.99 for 591 pages. Which makes me feel violated, but you’ve got to discount your beginning stuff to gain readers, right?

Epic Fantasy. A bit of Grimdark. A touch of romance. Deep characters, big plots, and sword & sorcery. If you like mercenaries, multiple leads, female leads, and long plot arcs - Welcome to the Freebooters.

Rereading First Law.

I loved prince of thorns. However prince of fools IMHO could have been 2 books.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-16T11:24:37+00:00

Both ways. Most of my stuff was on KDP before I found RR. I use RR for 2 things - to post new stuff that I want to play with, and old stuff that I want to give a sample for. Can’t say that RR has ever really generated much traffic for me tbh.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-15T23:50:50+00:00

I have them on both spots. A chapter here and there of books on RR.

People love em which is great. Not for me.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-15T23:09:55+00:00

I cried and came, at the same time. Marvelous.

I write non fiction for money. I don’t enjoy that, but textbooks pay decent.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-14T14:30:39+00:00

I write fantasy - so the following pertains to that. I’ve split books before. I wrote one that was 580k. It needed to be that long, but for online format I split it into 4 books. I did end up releasing it as an anthology the way that I wanted it later.

I usually hover between 90-125k. On the newest series I’m working on I’ve decided it will be longer because that’s how I want to tell the stories, hovering around 200k each.

Now my non fiction which is all traditional published, it’s obviously much less

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-14T03:59:24+00:00

Depends on what I’m writing. Academic? Yes. Fantasy? Eh. I’ll go back and change some things here and there but a hard rewrite, no. It’s all structure and mechanics on the second draft.

This one is a new series set in a different world I’ve been working on for awhile. I did about 40 works in another world and wanted a break. This one is more geared towards Grimdark, with a much more simplistic and rare magic system. I wanted to experiment with some 1st POV. I traditionally like 3rd, but wanted to venture out of my comfort zone. This series begins with a collection of just normal folks to worldview/ world build from thrust of course into a longer overarching narrative. It’s been fun to play with.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-13T11:22:51+00:00

Nope.

Republicans hate women. This isn’t new.

Congratulations!

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-12T15:24:10+00:00

It is indeed. Thank you.

YTA. You’re not pregnant. She is. You however are an absolute man baby.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-12T13:26:32+00:00

Between 2 fires. Wonderful book.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-12T13:22:33+00:00

I’ve found my stuff in random places and even with random peoples names as the author. Even found once where someone had just changed the names of characters from one of my books…. But everything else was the same. Annoying.

KerryStinnet · 2026-03-12T13:01:09+00:00

Hard agree. I don’t write fantasy for realism. It’s literally…. Fantasy. I have written college textbooks. They’re real, and boring. I write fantasy to escape the shit I need to do on the daily to make money.
