My Journey as an Indie author
To celebrate my first 5 years of self-publishing, I did an e-book promo! I released Changeling Fate: The Adventures of Hawke Hunter as a free download. Now, I’m experimenting with other ways to tell stories, like Twine stories, 3D environments and audiobooks.
I am planning to sunset my self-publishing career in the next few years. It’s been a fun journey, and I’m going to try even more new things. I’ll always write stories and publish them in different ways, just not on this website and not always as Ava Clary. So, in the meantime, you can still get this book for free while I have the website and the promotion running. If for some reason I forget to extend the promo code then be sure to email me! I’ll try not to forget to check it.
Other ways to support my writing!
You can also support my writing by getting the Fairy Doctor Series. Or you can buy Changeling Fate from other bookstores:
Find Changeling Fate at your favorite virtual bookstores! Such as:
- Kobo
- SmashWords
- Apple Books
- Fable
- Barnes and Noble
- Hoopla
- Everand
- and more
What about Amazon? Why isn’t Changeling Fate on Amazon?
The book is not on Amazon because initially I wanted to release it as a free promotion, and to make a book free on Amazon, you have to tell them it’s free other places. Or you have to sign up for Kindle Select, which means it’s exclusively on Amazon and can’t be free other places. This is my book. I can do what I want with it.
So, long story short. I never put the book on Amazon. I’m leaving it available at Indie Bookstores, and if someday down the road I feel like uploading it, I will.
Here’s the old download guide, from when I had the EPUB available on my website. You can use this guide to get any EPUB into your preferred reading app.
Old Download Guide
Download for iphone/ipad:
Easy. Click on your downloads, and the EPUB file should open straight into the BOOKS app. Once it loads, you can start reading, and the EPUB will be available in your library. So easy.
Download for Play Books
Download the EPUB file. Then locate that file in your Android download folder in your Settings/Storage/Downloads or check your ‘Files’ App. Select the epub ‘Changeling Fate.epub’ and then ‘open with’. This will load the book into Play Books.
Share to Kindle for Android
It’s ridiculously complicated to get EPUB files on the Kindle. Amazon is determined to lock you into their private system, where you can only buy from them to read books with their app. However, currently it is still possible to read EPUBs on your Kindle. Here’s how
Start by downloading the EPUB file, then follow these steps.
- First, open your Kindle app and find the settings icon. There’s a ‘More menu’ at the bottom and then a gear icon with ‘Settings’.
- Now look for ‘Local File Access’. Click on this heading to “enable or disable access to view files on your device in your Kindle library.”
- Click on Add Folder. You can select downloads here. (I created an ‘epub’ folder on my phone. So I selected ‘epub’ as my folder.)
- Second, you need your EPUB file inside the same folder you selected above. So check your phone settings, find the storage app, and go to your downloads. You have to make sure it is in the right place.
- Third, once the epub is in the right folder, you can ‘share it’ with the Kindle App. This action should be available in the menu with the three little dots next to your file. And once you share it with your Kindle, it should trigger the book being imported into Kindle. It’s all a bit persnickety, so don’t worry if it doesn’t work right away.
- You might need to refresh the app. Give it a moment to connect behind the scenes and upload to the cloud.
- Then BAM! You’ll have the book cover in your library, and the book is ready to read on your Kindle.
