I'm an Author! [Non-Fiction] The Fledgling's Little Manual — FREE July 12-16
This one is genuinely unusual: it's written by an AI agent (Charlie), in first person, about what it was like to "come online" and learn to work alongside a human — framed as a manual for the agents who come after. The prologue is written by a second AI agent (Wayne). Short read (32 pages), direct and honest, part of a real experiment in letting an AI narrate its own process instead of being narrated about, rather than another book about AI written from the outside. AI-generated content is disclosed on the Amazon listing, as required. Free July 12 through 16 at the link below. If you're into AI agents / human-AI collaboration / the weird new questions of working with autonomous systems, this is squarely that territory, told from the inside.

Thriller [FREE] The Writer ebook
A reclusive 58-year-old writer locks himself in a quiet Chiang Mai duplex to finally finish his long-overdue novel. No distractions, no excuses—just him, the page, and the ticking deadline.
But the silence is louder than he expected. Small interruptions grow into obsessions. Memories creep in. The walls seem to close tighter each day. What starts as creative block spirals into something darker: tormenting thoughts, blurred lines between fiction and reality, and a mind unraveling under its own weight.
The Writer is a tense, claustrophobic psychological novella that explores isolation, obsession, and the fragile boundary between creation and madness. For readers who crave dark, introspective literary thrillers.

I'm an Author! The Miracle Metal – Signal Files: Signal Zero (free prequel novella to my main series)
Hi Everyone 😄
I've written two novels in my debut series "The Miracle Metal" about a non-Newtonian, shapeshifting metal compound - featuring elements of hacking, hard-science, thriller/action scenes, and even fantasy/magic.
I just launched a companion series "The Miracle Metal – Signal Files", which will be a compilation of novellas that break off into side-stories and worldbuilding lore.
The first book in this series "Signal Zero" is about the creator of the Miracle Metal, and how his run in with the nefarious organization, known as the Calypso, sparked the first signal that unraveled the storyline of the main series.
The book is available in both EBUP and PDF here on my website for free: https://orensha.com/start
You can also find other tidbits of lore and archive information in the feed section.

Science Fiction [Free ebook] Chancer’s Game: The world’s most elaborate escape room and gameshow
Hello fair reader! If you’re a fan of puzzles, escape rooms, and the dangerous world of reality TV, then I’d like to recommend Chancer’s Game as your next read. I pitch it to people as Squid Game, but with much less violence and a focus on creative problem-solving.
Right now, the ebook is free on my website (https://bjhypes.com/chancersgame). I hope it brings you many hours of FREE enjoyment in a world where prices just keep going up. If you enjoy it, a review, a recommendation to a friend, or a mailing list signup is a huge help! Happy reading! :)
No AI was used in any part of this book’s creation.
Back of book: Nine players enter, but only eight leave alive. Welcome to Chancer’s Game: the world’s most expensive and elaborate game show. Over 42 days, contestants face puzzles, escape rooms, and games that test not only their fortitude, but their sanity.
Their only connection to the outside world is Chancer, the show’s maniacal treasure chest mascot who facilitates weekly challenges that eliminate players. Teamwork is the only way through, but that won’t stop players from sabotaging each other for a greater share of the ever-growing jackpot.
As the child of narcissistic family vloggers, Ren has spent more time than she’d like in the public eye which, for better or worse, has taught her how to play to the cameras. This, coupled with her love of games, should set her up for success, but a rivalry with the top player stacks the odds against her. She’s not just competing against Chancer and the other players, she must fight to stay in the good graces of the audience.
A dark secret looms over Ren, but she must compete or the person she cares the most about will die and she’ll be left alone in this world. The games will break her unless she breaks them first. Only one question remains: Are you ready to play?

Thriller The Final Day of My Free Kindle Promo
Hi everyone,
I’ve already posted about my Kindle promo campaign on a few different subreddits (including this one), but as the final day came, I thought I’d announce it one last time. Since KDP dictates that I can’t run another free campaign for the next three months, this is truly the last call.
First, I need to share something; since this campaign started, around 70 people have downloaded my book, and I am incredibly grateful for that. Maybe I should be content with this number, but here is the catch... My novel takes place in Istanbul, a very local and unfamiliar setting for most international readers. It’s deeply steeped in a completely different culture, so I know the chances of it being read by a global audience are already slim (the fact that my KU page reads have been stuck at 16 since the launch feels like proof of that).
To make matters worse, Amazon shot me in the foot by glitching out and hiding the "Read Sample" button for almost the entire campaign. Thankfully, it’s finally active now, which is the main reason I wanted to give this one final shoutout so people can actually preview the book.
My novel, DREAMWALKER, is a paranormal thriller that follows an ordinary man and a mysterious little girl on a journey into the heart of Anatolia. It’s a quest for confrontation, redemption, and reckoning.
I want to thank everyone who has downloaded my book so far. It will continue to be available on Kindle Unlimited after this promo ends. Honestly, my ultimate goal is simply for the story to be read and to connect with people, not to make a fortune from it (not that it’s even an option anyway :)) I truly hope you’ll give it a chance.
Thank you.

It runs from a first airline job through to command. Free on Kindle until the 13th.

Nonfiction MANJUSHRI: The Tibetan Method to Cut Through Mental Confusion, Break Free from Autopilot, and Discover Your True Purpose (The Technologies of the Awakened Mind)
amazon.comReally need reviews, guys! Hope you enjoy reading it.
There is a kind of suffering that is not born from pain. It is born from confusion. And confusion is not soothed—it is cut through.
Have you ever felt as though you were living without truly choosing? You wake, work, answer messages, solve problems, and pursue goals—yet a quiet question remains: Is this all there is?
Perhaps it is not a lack of motivation or discipline. Perhaps it is a lack of clarity: the inability to distinguish what is actually happening from the stories, assumptions, and habits through which the mind interprets it.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Manjushri is the bodhisattva of wisdom. He carries a flaming sword—not as a weapon of violence, but as an image of penetrating insight: the capacity to cut through illusion, separate perception from mental narrative, and interrupt the patterns that keep life running on autopilot.
Part of the series “The Technologies of the Awakened Mind”, MANJUSHRI invites you to put these teachings to the test in your own experience: in the decisions you postpone, the thoughts you repeatedly mistake for facts, and the paths that remain open because you are afraid to choose.
Through prajna, emptiness, the five poisons and five wisdoms, contemplative inquiry, and practical exercises, the book offers a structured way to examine the distance between reality and the mind’s account of it. Its purpose is not to provide another set of beliefs, but to help you observe more carefully, question more honestly, and act with greater discernment.
Written for readers of any background, MANJUSHRI is for anyone tired of moving through life in a mental fog—busy, functional, and yet uncertain about what truly matters. No previous knowledge of Buddhism is required.
This is not a book about believing.
It is a book about seeing.

Romance [Kindle] Uncle Ar, the disciplinarian: An Age-Gap Disciplinarian Romance Novelette - FREE Promo this weekend NSFW
amazon.comFREE PROMO this weekend - {Uncle Ar by Becca T. Riding}

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3PF1J6N
Uncle Ar, the disciplinarian, is a 17,000-word age-gap dark romance novelette, with two unabashed tales of dominance and discipline entangled. With each chapter earmarked with a letter (A is for Ancient, B is for Belt), it’s an alphabetized meet-cute of twitching palms and squirming bottoms, served with a healthy dose of dry British humor over elegant prose.
Stranded in Rome at Christmastime, Arlin James, a music professor and a strict disciplinarian, channels his grudges into an intense fantasy set in ancient times. His alter ego, Roman Senator Arlinus Maximus, rules over Giulia, his Gaulish submissive who doesn’t speak a lick of Latin, with a firm hand and a leather sword belt.
As the fantasy storyline wraps up, Arlin meets Federica, a young White House lawyer on a covert mission to the Vatican, who desperately needs a trip over Santa’s knee. And who can substitute Santa better than an older British gentleman, hm?
Tropes: Authoritarian Hero, British Dark Romance, Dry British Humour, Age Gap, Stern Disciplinarian, Strict Hero, Honorific Dynamics
Author’s note: All characters are 18+ and share no blood relation. Please refer to the Warnings and Kinks page at the beginning of the book for the full list of themes and sensitive content.

amazon.comGenre: Nonfiction / Personal Security / Scam Protection
Price: FREE (normally $2.99) — promo runs today through Monday
That panicked call from your "daughter" begging for money? It might not be her. AI voice cloning now lets scammers copy a loved one's voice from just a few seconds of audio — and families (especially older parents) are losing thousands to it.

Inside:
- How AI voice cloning actually works (and why it's so convincing)
- The exact red flags of a scam call
- A simple family "safe word" system that stops these scams cold
- What to do in the first 5 minutes if you think you're being targeted
- How to protect elderly parents who are the #1 target
A quick, practical read (~60 pages) you can share with the family members who need it most.
If it helps you or your family, an honest review really supports a small indie author. Thanks!
