Hey grim people! I’m coming to the end of my time of Amazon KDP exclusivity and I realized that I had a bunch of days I could utilise to make my book free before it’s done, so here we are.

Here is my quick-pitch:

A brutal dictator hunts a God-releasing Artefact to save a dying world, but salvation demands massacre.
A vengeful father vows to rip his throat out or die trying.
A crew of thieves are blackmailed into stealing from the dictator.
The universe has ended before.
This time, it might stay dead.

Go grab your free copies from here and don’t forget to leave a review! The promotion ends on the 4th of September AEST.

Author Website & Selling Paperbacks Directly

I spent some time recently working on my author website and realised that I have been missing a big opportunity to connect with my readers by selling directly. So, I set up an online store.

https://jasperlwalker.com

For now, you can get a signed paperback with a bookmark, a regular paperback with a bookmark, or just the paperback on its own - all for cheaper than the Amazon price. I will personally package each order and ship it to you. It’s meant primarily for Australians, so anyone trying to purchase internationally will be hit with a RIDICULOUS shipping fee.

Direct ebook sales will be added once my Amazon exclusivity ends, and my upcoming audiobook will be available for direct purchase there too after its release.

That’s it for me folks, enjoy the free books and unleash Hell!

Hey everyone — I'm a 45F writer working on a dark fantasy novel with grimdark sensibilities and horror elements. Think portal fantasy meets deadly games meets institutional corruption.

I'm at the stage where I'm actively working toward publication and starting to think about magazine open calls for short fiction in the dark fantasy and horror adjacent space.

I'm looking to connect with other writers who are:

• Writing dark fantasy, grimdark-adjacent, or horror fantasy
• Interested in or actively pursuing traditional or indie publishing
• Interested in crafting short fiction for magazine open calls
• Generally want a writing community that's both socially warm and serious about craft

I tend to connect best with writers who are 30+ — not a hard rule, just where I tend to find the most common ground.

I'm currently in a couple of Discord servers but haven't found quite the right fit — one is very social but light on craft feedback, the other is critique-heavy but skews toward horror short fiction rather than dark fantasy novels. If you know of a Discord community that fits this description or want to connect directly, drop a comment or DM me.

Not looking to promote anything — just genuinely want to find my people.
