Before purchasing any of our books, please read the sample first.
Though the story premise may attract your interest initially, setting, protagonist, narrator’s voice, writing style, story POV may not click with you.
A rating guide on a book’s synopsis page will forewarn of potentially sensitive issues to help you choose the book that fits you best.
Our online booksellers offer the first 10% of a book’s page count as sample preview.
If you enjoy the sample, you will like the entire book.
Please remember appreciation of art is a very personal thing.
Reviews by others only apply to that single person’s likes, dislikes, and life experience, and may not apply to you at all.
We are all different. Even identical twins are their own unique persons with their own singular tastes in food, music, and art.
Reading the sample is the first and best way to know if you will like the book.
Rest assured, none of our authors use AI in any form.
We want our readers to be inspired by human storytellers and their experiential thoughts, not by lifeless silicon chips crunching zeroes and ones.
We don’t use AI even for proofreading— only human eyes and brains, and WORD’s old school, spell and grammar checker. If our human brains missed a few typos, please accept our apologies. We’ll try harder to make sure your books have no errors.
Thanks again for visiting.
Happy reading!
