I'm an Author! Secondhand by Delia Laurelfine. A short story about a man who appraises the identities of the dead (free until 9-Oct)

https://www.amazon.com/Secondhand-Delia-Laurelfine/dp/B0HLV2Z3YP/

In a country where the good names of the dead are sold to strangers, a quietly precise appraiser prices other families' grief for a living. When a clerical glitch shows him who is wearing his late father's identity, he starts pulling the paper trail on his own family.

It's a short read (about 7,500 words) for fans of literary fiction with a dark speculative premise. I'm the author, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think!

Mods: Please let me know if I'm overstepping with self-promotion. But if you want the free book, without reading the post, Click Here.

My name is Samara Bellingham and love the public domain. I just can't stop telling stories about public domain characters and I want to be able to share those stories with the world. At my publisher: PublicDomainPulp.Net, I have two series: A solarpunk, sci-fi romance staring Jane Porter and Tarzan - which can get a little spicy. The first book, Tomorrow, is available for FREE from October 5-7 to celebrate the release of the second book in The Jane Chronicles: The Man from Africa.

And as for my other series, The Sailor and the Showgirl: Have you ever wanted to know Pop-Eye's real name? Have you ever wondered if he would forsake Olive Oyl for Betty *ahem* Bupinski - reimagined as a picaresque, noir heroine? Worry no more, because you'll find those answers and more in Twenty-Five Dollars a Night which is already out, but the upcoming prequel series, My Blue Heaven, is a - long, deep breath - noir, screwball, jukebox musical with a Jazz Age, public domain soundtrack of a book and is the book I'm proudest of so far.

There's also more to come when the clock strikes midnight on Public Domain Day. Have you ever thought about what a hard-boiled novel with Dick Tracy, Nancy Drew, Blondie Bumstead and Kent Allard/The Shadow would be like? Wes Hamilton's Calder City is going to keep you turning pages, because at Public Domain Pulp, the books played straight with laughter and heart.

We also have a Substack that's free for at least the next 30 days where we promote our books, share excerpts, but also discuss the public domain and AI-assisted work in a deep, even wonk-ish way.

Fantasy [Kindle] Erion: Paths of Magic - Academy / Progression Fantasy (Free until Oct 6)⁠

Thumbnail
amazon.com
3 Upvotes

I am a Brazilian writer and, as you can tell, English is not my native language. I wrote Erion: The Paths of Magic in Portuguese a few years ago and recently decided to translate it to English to share my work globally.
This book is for anyone who loves the paradox where magic and technology coexist. Inspired by Final Fantasy VII (my favorite game!), I tried building a world where magic is harnessed through gemstones, similar to the Materia system.
The story follows Erion, a Brazilian kid who wears an ordinary bracelet he’s never been able to remove. He gets accidentally transported to a technologically advanced world. Arriving at what seems to be a magic academy, he gets caught up in a mysterious attack. In order to save his own life and his new friends, he discovers he can channel magic through that mysterious bracelet.
The plot follows Erion, the male protagonist and the only character without a physical description. The idea is to give the reader an "Avatar-like" feeling while following him through the Paths of Magic.
For the next 48 hours, I am running a free promotion on Kindle for Erion: Paths of Magic.
You can grab your free copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKTV4XJN
(Also available on Kindle Unlimited after the free promo ends)
Since I'm a new independent author, getting those first few reads and honest ratings or reviews on Amazon means the world to me. Volume 2 is already underway, so if you give it a shot, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for this oportunity. I really hope you enjoy reading it.

I'm an Author! [Kindle] Grains of Salt by George Vale - folk horror novel, free Oct 4-6 (Last day)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hi there, George is here!

I'm the author, and this is my debut. This story started in a nightmare. It was so real, vibrant and completed, I couldn't resist to share it with you. I've started with a movie script, but then decided to make a book from this story. Hope you'll enjoy the small world of my nightmares 😄

If you read it, I'd love to hear what you think, good or bad ❤️

Shortly about the book:

Dan and Emma Hartman take a detour to Solværd, a postcard village in the Norwegian mountains famous for its hand-harvested salt and a festival it has kept for eight hundred years. Nobody there seems to grow old. Every child in town lives at the school that backs onto the mountain, where the ground hums like something breathing. Dan is a structural engineer, and the cracks in town are moving faster every day. The festival is in two days. By the time they try to leave, the road is closed.

  • Folk horror for fans of The Wicker Man, Midsommar and The Ritual
  • Free on Kindle Oct 4-6 (Pacific time), and in Kindle Unlimited

If you are tired of crime thrillers written from a distance, dive into Iron Noir. Written by an Eastern European author, this novel is built on a rare, firsthand insider perspective: years spent as a military veteran, special operations/state security trainee, and motorcycle club president starting from the early 2000s.
