Having been self-publishing since 2012, I’ve enough books in my back catalogue to run Amazon freebie offers almost every day of the year. I did this in 2025, and here are the top 3 days of the week where I had the most success with freebies throughout the year. #booksky

Why are pirate corpses rising from their graves in the village of Bluff Cove? Have aliens really landed on the beach? And what are those American historians up to? PC Jake Rodwell is about to find out… A Big Bluff is free on Amazon May 7 & 8. USA: www.amazon.com/dp/B079PB8LJF #booksky

Shucks, drat, and other such words. I ended up just 1 pre-order short of reaching my target of getting 1 pre-order for my darkly comic dystopian novel, Dead Headz, which is out now, so sadly no longer available for pre-order.

It’s been over a year since I published my lucky tenth novel, and more than 16 years since I published my lucky first novel. Tomorrow, I publish what will surely be the book that finally brings me luck in terms of eye-watering sales and glowing reviews. My lucky eleventh novel is called Dead Headz.

I’m so, so close. All I need is 1 pre-order to reach my bold (and some might say fanciful) target of getting 1 pre-order for my new darkly comic dystopian novel Dead Headz. It’s available as a digital download on Amazon for the first time tomorrow! So this is the last day for pre-orders.

Things are getting really tense now. I’m just 1 pre-order away from reaching my target of 1 pre-order for my new, darkly comic dystopian novel Dead Headz. It’s out on 1st May. Fingers crossed!

Exciting times?! I’m just 1 pre-order away from hitting my wildly optimistic target of getting 1 pre-order for my new darkly comic dystopian novel Dead Headz.

This is it. Dead Headz is likely the best novel I’ll ever write, the most important tale I’ll ever tell. If you like alternate universe dystopia with a reluctant hero who tries to bring hope to people ruled by a tech-obsessed government, give it a try. jonlymonauthor.com/dead-headz

Well, it seems a shame not to try and jump on the bandwagon of the most popular genre of the moment...

I’ve been self-publishing since 2012 and have over 30 books that the reading public can ignore. Since 2025, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the daily performance of my books and will share some results in the hope they will be of more interest to others than my books seem to be.

I’ve written a book - my eleventh novel. But this time I’m doing something a bit different with it. In the past, when I’ve finished a book, I’ve done a little bit of unsuccessful marketing before moving onto the next project. This time, I’m going to do a lot of unsuccessful marketing.

Scary times lie ahead if people continue to delegate their thinking to machines. DEAD HEADZ deals with the nightmarish future we face as people’s cognitive abilities decline and brains fail due to lack of use. books2read.com/u/mgM80v www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKP341MC

This dystopian chillogy either rocks or sucks depending on if you can handle zombies, aliens, pirates and zombie aliens and zombie pirates all converging on the same Cornish village at the same time. (There are no zombie alien pirates. That would be silly.) www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJM3XZ77

Gremlins in my filing cabinet drawer? I recently finished my latest novel, tucked the print out away in a drawer to try and forget about it for a couple of weeks. Then, yesterday, I get it out for a re-read and find mis-spells, errors and inconsistencies that I could have sworn weren’t there before

Post a pic in 2025 of page 25 of your novel? Seller V

Do any other authors out there sing the title of their book/s? Recently, I’ve been finding myself singing Tsunami by the Manic Street Preachers but replacing the title with Seller V. Rhythmically it works beautifully but what does it all mean?

Yesterday was World Thinking Day. I fear, due to over reliance on AI, not as much thinking went on as has been the case in previous years. www.jonlymonauthor.com/last-writer-...

My message to the world

Send this to people who claim AI isn't taking artists' jobs. There is no amount of 'adapting' that will spontaneously generate more work if companies decide they don't want to pay you anymore. www.ft.com/content/185e...
