Sounds EPIC! If it’s out in the world, can you tell us the titles?

@QueenOfEverything yes of course! The thriller novel is called “Bell’s Codex” and the code book is called “my magnum opus.” The ciphertext is only available in print. The ebook only has the translation.

my magnum opus (Bell's Codex Book 2) a.co/d/iROrI88

@BipolarArtist

I very much would like to buy, and read both books.
Bell's Codex
my magnum opus

But for personal reasons, will not buy e-books from Amazon. Not just the DRM they add, but the monopoly that they are. Can I buy an e-pub version directly from you? Or any other outlet.

Thanks.

@corlin they are available in printed versions but only available through Amazon as they are the ones that print them. I am of mixed feelings. Amazon is not great but they did allow me to have a platform to share this with the world so I am genuinely grateful for that. People can buy my books and I get reasonable royalties for them. You are still supporting an indie author/artist. For all that is bad about Amazon, this is a really great thing they do. The code is only available in print.

@BipolarArtist

Ok I will put an order in for the hard copies, at my local independent bookstore.

Sorry to be a.pain about this. I really, really, hate Amazon.

I do understand why authors feel they need to deal with them. There is no other good alternative.

There are alternatives, but they require a huge amount of work.

@corlin sounds good. Yeah querying agents would have been a waste of time for this book. It is so different no one would ever take a chance on it. If you do end up coming across copies I hope you enjoy it.
