Slumrat Rising now stubbed, please read it over on Amazon
Wierd feeling. Really. Slumrat Rising was my first "I'm going to make this my career" book, and it was... incredible. Genuinely incredible. I see where I made mistakes, of course. I completely understand why so many people bounced off the book. But I also see that people loved it. They resonated with the charicters, they argued about the philosophy, they ca along for the journey. It's a cliche to call sothing a learning experience, but it really was. It was also beyond validating. I wrote a book. It got published. There is an audio book read by a genuine article voice actor, and it's really, really good. So when I look back at Slumrat Rising, I see where I went wrong as an author and where I went right, as a human being. Because even when I'm stressed, or depressed, or anxious, or just plain frustrated, I know I'm doing the job I love. A job that is bringing more satisfaction than any other job I have ever done.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
And now it's stubbed. Due to the demands of Amazon's Kindle Unlimited program, it's vanishing off the platform that gave it, and , an audience. I want to take a mont, now, to express my heartfelt thanks to Wing, Mod John, Kana and the rest of the Royal Road team. They have consistantly done their best to improve the site and keep it from turning into the hellscapes so many other web novel sites descend into.
I just deleted a rambling paragraph about all the things Royal Road does better than other, inferior, webnovel platforms. Just... on the author side? It's a lot. A LOT.
Royal Road gave a platform to build a career. It gave a place to connect to all of you, the readers. The audience that has supported on Patreon, that buys my books, that gives the confidence to keep on writing. Thank you all so much.
