Kindle & Kindle Unlimited ONLY

-

I'm hoping this will be my last blog for 2023. 

All of my books are rightfully available for Kindle & Kindle Unlimited. I have removed all Paperbacks and Hardcovers as I feel they don't sell anyways except maybe once and a blue moon if anyone wants any of my books for Paperback then they can email me at crystalroseoger@gmail.com or authorambermkestner@hotmail.com and I will put that book up to be able to send it to you. 

And this is the post I made today that I want to share:

I didn't realize I was so close to having 30 books in my name but I did a recount this morning with including both versions of I Am Lesbian, yes, I did a re-release and kept both versions. Without having The Holiday Anthology in my hands I am an Author of 25 books. So, when I get the Anthology I will have 26 books (with shared Authors) and when releasing When They Kissed will be my 27th book not unless I release something before then. 

All I can say is Holy Mother Fucking Shit. No, I may not ever reach 100 books though that is a dream but I'm nearing 30 stories released to my name by 2024. I've written so many stories, wow! 

Am I allowed to be proud? Am I allowed to feel something? Both are YES! It has taken me 8 years to find my balance of a career and I am super duper proud of how far I have come. No, I will not be bringing back my Series' but I will display them back on my profile and LinkedIn, they are my achievements, I DID THAT! I did it for so long and it looks amazing on my bookshelf. 

So, for anyone telling you, you can't do something. DO IT ANYWAYS! Fuck what everyone else thinks. Follow your dreams and stay strong while doing so.

For all those that have given me 1-3 star ratings and nasty reviews over the years, well, guess it didn't slow me down as much as I thought. 🖕 Here's a middle finger to shove up your ass too. 

I did bring back my Series' because people do read them especially on Kindle for a good chunk of my books. Do my older books sell? Sometimes. But as the Author, I feel this is the right path for me. I was going to go Wide and try different platforms but I have been with KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) since 2016 and I like being on Kindle Unlimited. Honestly, though I am afraid to leave KDP because it is all I know besides Smashwords but I wasn't a fan of the difficulty of uploading my books. 

Anyways, I wish you all Happy Holidays and see you all for 2024!

♥ Amber

Authors of Amazon & Wattpad: Going Beyond Traditional Route

Exposing our work is beyond the measure of reaching readers. We work endless on end trying to give the best ourselves as Authors to show that we can do it. This is where the world changes once you are with Amazon, you can't be shelved with anyone else once you are with them You can't be partnered with Smashwords, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Sparks, and any other Publishing Company willing to sell your books without Amazon on your hind end. I did learn that when I was contributing to both Amazon and Smashwords expanding my horizon. That led to hoping not lose my Kindle Unlimited and Selects program that lets readers borrow books, so I stopped with Smashwords within 2 years even after selling my books for free on there. Now, I have since left them and haven't returned their program for setting up their books became to much of a hassle to deal with.  Now, I have been with Wattpad since it's start practically of 2008 when I finally settled to living in West ...

Coffee & Romance

-
I started a new book recently. The cover isn't new but the description is. It is one I believe my readers are excited for because not only isn't available on any writing apps like literally none. I have taken it and made it unique. I will admit, I did take it from another writer (he hasn't published since 2016 and last update was in 2022.) Don't worry the book has my own taste and it is at a much slower pace. I'm actually proud of myself especially with the twist from his story.  Love Over Coffee by Tobias Jarrett Link:  https://www.wattpad.com/story/202923962-love-over-coffee As you will read from it, it is rushed and the characters don't know each other. As my lovely husband called it a hardcore lesbian porno. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not shaming my ex-best friend for the story because well it has gained so much traction on Wattpad and it isn't finished. You are probably wondering where I am going with this...yeah, I knew that was coming. I was...

Personal Life: Lesbian In A Straight Relationship (Amber's Self Discovery)

This will most likely be the final time, I make a blog like this to explain myself, and not that it shouldn't matter what I do in my life. I have people watching me constantly and wanting life updates including what I see and believe in.  Let me make this clear on who I am. For most of my life I have been hated on, not sure why or how, I just am. I admit out loud, I am damn sure not the prettiest woman out there. I am used for sex more times than I would like to say out loud. I have been mentally abused since my teen years. I have been taken advantage of for my kindness. I have the worst way of expressing myself but when it comes to the truth, I am down right avoided for. I do suffer anxiety, depression, minor ptsd, and mental problems that I wish not to bring up to often. Yes, I can take medication to help my moods and everything else, does it help? No. Does sleeping help? I don't sleep since I have Insomnia and my brain never shuts down, I also have RLS, heart problems, and s...
