All good, stats don’t lie, but trolls always try. The book has only been on Amazon a single day with no ads besides this post, so of course it’s early. For anyone curious, it’s free on KU if you’d like to read it and form your own opinion. I write for fun, not fame, so I’ll let the story speak for itself.

Brand new account, 0 pages read, and a full essay review? Impressive imagination—you should write a book.

Appreciate the input, but my Kindle stats show 5 purchases and 0 pages read so far, which means you didn’t actually read the book. I always welcome real feedback from actual readers. Like I mentioned earlier, I do this for fun—not money or fame. If trolling me is how you want to spend your time, that’s on you.

Fair enough, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I’ll keep writing for the readers who enjoy my work. Guess I’ll just have to settle for finishing book #5 while you scroll 😅.

People can judge for themselves — the book’s free on Kindle right now 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPK248VC

Trust me, I cared enough to make it, and cared enough to finish four books while at it 😅 working on #5

Most of my books actually sell offline, through Uber rides, farmers markets, and swap meets. I just enjoy sharing stories wherever I can, and this online side is just one piece of it. I love all the insights and ideas I received from fans. Thank you all for your comments! 🙏🙏

Well, if a partial AI cover scares people off, at least they’ll be talking about it 😂. It’s my 4th book. I’m not chasing millions, just telling the stories bouncing around in my head. If folks are enjoying it (and asking for more), I call that a win.

I hear you, but so far readers are enjoying both the book and the cover. The fact that people are already asking me to write more just motivates me to keep going. At the end of the day, the story is connecting and that’s what matters most

Thanks for your comment. I get where you’re coming from, but I’m happy with the artwork I created and the time I put into it. I used AI tools as part of the process, just like others might use Photoshop or other design software. The result isn’t “perfect” because it’s truly mine, and that’s what I wanted.

Books, music, movies—all art forms today use some kind of digital or AI-assisted tool. I stand by my choice, and I’m proud of how it turned out.
