Clean Romance Is The Way To Go...

-
I'm allowed to write in any shape or form as an Author, am I known to slip in Mature content? Oh yeah, most of my books are spicy, not like over the top but they are. What has changed my mind fully? The fact is that I am done over the sexual content in reading material that anymore I just skip over it or see no use for it, not unless I am reading Gay or Lesbian Romance. Truthfully, when I was writing clean romance for like A Coffee Shop Romance (Best Selling Book in my name, least I believe so) and Keeping Her A Secret Sacred Heart Series: Book 1, I felt better in my writing journey, I felt no pressure to put sexual content into my material. The dramatic scenes are never going away that is just how I write and my readers live for it. All I am saying is as me and my best friend W.A. Ashes aka Ashes discussed many, many, many times over their just isn't enough clean romance in any genre that I am aware of, I don't read Horrors or Thrillers, not my thing. But like in the Roman

Author Update: Writing To Write

-
It's been a little while since I have done a blog update. I know most of you keep an eye on my updates through Wattpad, Inkitt, GetInkspired, Facebook, Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Discord. I tried to keep everyone in the loop of what goes on. So, if you already know then you can skip this blog update.  I will not be releasing any more books for 2024 as I have released 5 books and they aren't getting picked up. So, it is what it is. I did my best to appeal for an audience outside of Lesbian Romance and keeping it clean has been a struggle. With A Coffee Shop Romance being a clean romance it has sold more than I expected and a good chunk love the short story that it is.  Also update on The Little Library, the books that I put in about a month ago or so. I think the reader is keeping them because they haven't returned. So, next batch I do put in by the Dance Studio will be signed copies and to make sure more readers have a chance to get more. I'm

I'm having my books spam posted on LinkedIn because I have lost a good chunk of my followers from Amazon and I need to get it back. So, if you haven't followed me on Amazon please do so to keep up to date with new releases.  https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amber-M.-Kestner/author/B01I89K6QW or look up: Amber M. Kestner I have worked hard to become a story teller for a living and would love to gain more of an audience. So, please, please, please share and follow.  I am down to 127 followers and I had 249 followers before it all went away due to another Indie Author tearing me down. You don't have to read my content but please help me regain my fan base.

I Give Up

You really think this is me calling in the towel of my career? No, this isn't what it is about. It is the fact that I have lost my audience. 249 followers now down to 127 is unbelievable. I lost another follower recently out of no where, yeah, it is just one but even losing one fan is rough. I've dealt with a lot of rough patches lately and my career already took a major hit over the Summer.  I will not put my books up for free through Amazon if all takes is one Author to tear another down. Also, my books can be read for free on Wattpad, Inkitt, and GetInkspired. I have my audience outside of Amazon. I will sadly not put any of my books for free through Amazon anymore and if I want readers to see me again, I will just keep cranking out books.  I'm not giving up, I'm not quitting when the going gets tough, I'm not giving anyone what they want, and if you think you can write better stories than me, good for you. I already know some awesome Authors that aren't well

Proving My Worth

-
I am done, I AM SO DONE.  I am a people pleaser just like my best friend Ashley Mohler aka W.A. Ashes  I have followed, heard, listened, and have accepted more than enough times to prove that I am worthy of being an Author. I have rewritten Jana & Angel's story that I have just accepted that they have no happy ending, you get what you get. I am done writing Series' to the point that I have no end result to completing them. Don't get me wrong I am writing, I have books in the works but I have brought back all my books to Amazon because you know who should be proud of them? ME! I have worked so hard day in and day out to keep readers into my stories. My younger audience appreciates my books more than my actual fan base and that shows a lot of who I reach in readers.  Yes, my books are 18+. I do have a few clean romances but you know what should be more important is following my own heart and writing my books, my own way.  So, as of August 2024 all of my books are on Kindl

Readers Trolling Authors

-
If you are seeing this then you know I am not playing around. I am not holding back on voicing my opinion in the book world or anything else.  This is the post I made on Goodreads last night for those that missed it: We all have different book taste I get it but if you are constantly rating books 1-3 with very little reason, I will unfriend and unfollow you. That is really trolling Authors and uncalled for. If you don't like certain books don't read them. Yes, we can have opinions and ratings but dang, seriously?! I had to unfriend someone because it was making me uncomfortable to see such ratings and reasonings. As for why I made this post, simple answer. A 19 year old girl who I was friends with and following out of random, didn't know her at all had been reading Dork Diaries Series (one of my personal favorites). Anyways, I noticed she was giving it 1-3 stars for the first 4 books and I am like wait, that doesn't seem right. Yeah, Nikki is dramatic and everything she

Rebranding and New Content

-
Most are probably mad as hell at me as of an hour or so ago if they have seen books disappear from Amazon, Wattpad, Inkitt, GetInkspired, and aJoara. Don't worry it isn't all of them. I am so sick of writing Series', following Tropes, and beyond of what I want to do. If a book is doing excellent then I keep it up and which I have for the most part.  Most new readers lately hate that my books aren't Novel length or they expect it to be. Or a book could be expanded for example: Summer Lovin' and A Coffee Shop Romance seems to piss readers off but eh, oh well, not like I don't have other content out there such as A Secret Love Affair, When They Kissed, and Holiday's With Her to name a few. I am also in an Anthology. My books are my own, they are my creativity from my own imagination. I don't do Fan Fiction, I don't like mimicking other Writers/Authors, I hate tropes with a passion, I love to read Series' but don't enjoy writing them. So, what am
