I have a book! And a third of that book is nearly available!
Two weeks ago, I approved the final recommendations from my editor (JJ Boehs at Fiverr, who was fantastic). The last few days, I’ve been burning out at my day job (if I’m being honest). More importantly, I’ve also been putting in a lot of effort to understand the complexities of self-publishing in my free time. And I think I’m ready to go?
Introducing: Kelly’s Unveiling
Kelly’s Unveiling is the first book in my Making the Grades Series. It is a healthy 120,000 words. Initially, I was going to publish it as a single book, but after reading up on what works best for Amazon KDP audiences, I decided to experiment by dividing it into three parts. It is a series within a series. I don’t know if this is a good idea, but my unambitious goal is to “sell 10 copies to people I don’t know,” so I’m not terribly worried. I’m testing and learning.
Kelly’s Unveiling, Book One, is now available on Amazon for preorder. The eBook and print editions will be available on January 27, 2025.
The Blurb
Kelly Spaihts has always been good at doing just enough—enough to pass her classes, enough to keep up her image in the prestigious Astraea Society, enough to keep the world at bay. But when a missed quiz in Professor William Taylor‘s provocative Sexology class threatens more than her grades, Kelly makes a choice that will test the limits of what she’s willing to do to succeed.
At first, it seems simple: a small favor for a small reward. But Professor Taylor has other plans that will draw Kelly into an intricate web of control, submission, and self-discovery. As she navigates the uncharted waters of her desires, Kelly begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself—and what she wants.
Guided by the calculating Professor Taylor, Kelly is exposed to a side of herself she never imagined, one that thrives on shame, humiliation, and the dangerous allure of submission. Each task and challenge he assigns strips away her defenses, leaving her more vulnerable.
This novella is the first of three books in the Kelly’s Unveiling series. The series is a story in the Subconium Universe.
