Help Needed

Need 5 people to read my series before I release Part Two installments.

Will anyone step up to the challenge? I'm just asking for a friend.

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!

It's official! I've released my last novella!

And so, with great anticipation, Part One of The Talisman Series comes to a close. It's been a very long journey since 2017, but I am very happy with the fantastic results!

6 main installments and 5 novellas later, and we have everything we need to close out Part One.

Please contact me if you have any interest in free digital copies of ALL 11 works

OR

I can provide codes for free audiobook versions of the first 3 books, with Joshua Martin masterfully bringing all the characters to life.

Keep a wary eye out for portals AND for Part Two coming in 2026 (hopefully).

Elizabeth Luke - Scam on Goodreads

Hey everyone. I just learned about a new scam being run on Goodreads by A publishing Services company. They create fake accounts on Goodreads and use an image and name of a famous author and friend you. You can tell it's a fake account because these authors will have like 3-4 friends total! LOL..

Then, they reach out to authors, saying they are impressed with your book. After some small talk, they suggest a "friend" of theirs who can help you with sales. They then provide the contact info for that "friend".

They recommend a person named Elizabeth Luke elizabethluke807@gmail.com, and then she engages with you to get your business (which I'm sure is a ripoff). The next day, the "author" will have ended your friendship and removed all the email evidence, but I saved some, so I'm gonna let Goodreads know. Haha

Just to get more information on the scam, I even emailed Elizabeth Luke. When I incorrectly named the author who sent me to her, she didn't even bat an eye, which makes me realize that she's even dumber than I originally thought. She doesn't even know the authors she's using. Idiot!

Warning Indie Authors, do not fall for this new scam! These people do not deserve your money.
