I may be just one small indie author, but I have to hope if enough authors (and readers) do the same, they'll realize they won't have much of a Kindle store if it's overtaken by AI slop books because the real authors are leaving.

I refuse to roll over and act like AI is inevitable.

If I do end up unpublishing from Amazon, paperbacks are still available and (for now) ebooks are also available via Kobo, Apple Books, B&N, Smashwords, and library/borrow services.

My books will also always be available directly from me: whwrites.com/shop

I love being an indie author and sharing my stories. I hate that these mega corporations have both authors and readers over a barrel on a technology that many people didn't ask for and don't want.

It breaks my heart that I have to even consider this.

I pulled my audiobook from Findaway Voices after they pulled their AI shit, and I stopped publishing new books to Google Books when they gave me the runaround about whether my books were being used to train Google's AI.

This means I may be joining other authors in pulling my ebooks from Amazon's Kindle store at the end of December.

I encourage authors to reach out to me if they're considering working with someone who claims to have worked on one of my books. This is the second time (that I'm aware of) that my books are being used as part of a scam and I'm always happy to verify whether I've worked with a person or company.

I've had to dramatically slow down on my fiction writing as I finished up my MA program coursework, started my dissertation, and kept my astrology work going, but I didn't want to let 2025 pass without a new novel coming out. Hoping I'll have it out before the end of the year 🤞🏾

It is a standalone novel set in the Otherside universe, mostly between Ethereal Secrets and Ebon Rebellion. Stay tuned!

Thank you! The artist did a great job.

Thank you!

But how much sacrifice is too much, and what is the love of a lifetime worth? Follow Lya and Cade across a three-book adventure as they fight custom, law, and culture to find their forever happy ending.

For both of these outcasts, survival means not only making unusual connections, but also learning to face the ghosts of the past. Finding love demands facing inner demons and keeping it requires sacrifice.

A half-elven bounty hunter collides with a vampire vagabond in a Raleigh club. Lya Desmarais is looking for someone who can help her break free of the restrictive terms of her exile to North Carolina. Cade is looking for more powerful blood. And sparks will fly when the hunter becomes the hunted.
