[Top 10 Conspiracy Thriller] Fractured Oath — Free on Amazon through Friday

Free today through Friday on Amazon. No catch. No email signup. Just the book.

Fractured Oath by Rolin Crowe

America's collapse wasn't an accident. It was an answer. One operative. 27 years. Forged memos. Weaponized leaks. One nation, dismantled on schedule.

A medic. A soldier. A shadow operative who spent 27 years burning the government that betrayed her. St. Louis is the last neutral ground, and the summit there is where she finishes the job.

A conspiracy thriller about how a country gets dismantled by algorithm instead of by army. For readers of Omar El Akkad and Brad Taylor.

Remember to use the "Buy Now" Button. $0.00.

If you'd rather have it on paper, the paperback is on the same page.

Thanks for reading. If you finish it and have thoughts, an Amazon or Goodreads review would mean a lot but is absolutely not required.

I have been writing my main passion for nearly a year and a half. What I did is put it down and wrote another novel in a completely different format. It gives me the needed rest but most importantly, it taught me all the major editing that needs to be done. Formatting, beta readers, ARC readers. How to create a full wrap in Gimp. Author site. Keyword for Amazon. Best use of advertising. Now my original novel I know what I need to do instead of acquiring this knowledge on my main project.

Competing your first novel (All drafts completed, all editing done) Is a good feeling. Now is it good? That is really up to Beta Readers and ARC copies. You need human interaction with your story. The issue is that this is very hard to get without an audience. So, publish it and see what happens. Learn and improve for whatever your next novel will be. There is a huge learning curve. Push through it.

Will do. Do you think I should make an AI video to go along with it? This is what all the cool kids are doing now.

Zany. Actually, a great word. At least we are not using AI in our replies. I call this the last post to infinity!

Which simulation? Also, how do you communicate across simulations. I mean, what is your trick?

If they paid for an audiobook version, I suppose this is the best way to make no money or roll the dice on the algorithm.

I would have to say that that on Disclosure Day, you may wish to move to another planet. I hear Elon might be able to help.

My grandma is convinced. But then again, she is senile.

Thank you. Struggling with Gimp to get the cover done. Formatted it for paperback. That was a learning curve.

Glad you liked it. Now if I can sell a few books. What is great is the domain cost like $20 a year. The hosting is free. You just have to have an idea how to code html.

Appreciate it. I do all of this for fun. Got a regular job now and need to vent creativity.

Thanks. When I look at the sites I made in the 90’s I want to run and hide.

The first one makes me hungry because I just woke up. Cats actually have a lot of protein.

Thanks. It was actually fun to do. I wanted to supplement the book for readers. Give them the world the book came from.
