As an artist, I go where the wind takes me. Sometimes I like to sketch. Sometimes I go on an epic, year and a half journey developing my own cryptographic cipher and novel alphabet and use it to encrypt a book and then weave all the clues for how to solve it into a thriller novel. You know, just going with the flow of my completely normal mind. #coso #cryptography #amwriting #cosoauthor
@BipolarArtist Oh that is so cool! If you published that you'd make a fortune. A few years ago they did a reprint of "Cain's Jawbone" (after some TikTok person talked about it) and offered a prize to the first person who solved it.
@nonayadambidnes haha I did publish it! If you have any ideas for how to turn it into a fortune, I am ALL ears!

my magnum opus (Bell's Codex Book 2) https://a.co/d/0pkk9lb
@BipolarArtist Oh wow, I've got those both bookmarked for next time I have some extra $!
In the case of "Cain's Jawbone" it was a TikTok video that spurred the popularity of it - of course it was after the original author was long dead lol. 😄
I'm really impressed with the alphabet you created. Maybe you could do a short video showing some of the pages with a voice over talking about Lucas Bell and do it as a Facebook reel or TikTok or something? It's really cool!
@nonayadambidnes thanks! So glad you like it! Yeah I will post about it on TikTok and make a reel and see where it goes. Thanks!
@BipolarArtist Please let me know when you get it done and I'll share it too. 🙂
Also check into people who do book reviews online - there are a lot that you need to pay for reviews, but some do it free because they love to read, it will help with exposure. Basically you just have to give them a free copy of the book.
@nonayadambidnes I made this TikTok video about my books and tied it into the theme of the videos I have been making there. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8qE1UQ3/
Then I uploaded the video as a reel on Facebook.

@nonayadambidnes I haven’t forgotten about this. The whole family has been sick the past two weeks so things are a little bit of a challenge right now.
@nonayadambidnes thanks!
@BipolarArtist Take care of yourself and I hope everybody feels better soon. 🙂
