The Art of Perfection(That Doesn't Exist)

-
Any new readers to this blog, I want to say WELCOME!

Now let's begin today's topic before I forget what I want to vent about. Now most know my history or maybe it is all that pay attention to what I deal with. Anyways, as I disrespectfully enjoy putting those in their place it has come a time to where I'm standing my ground. 

I'm currently on a new Writing App to display my books for the joys of new readers. I love doing this and have for years. I'm not going to bash the App in case anyone is coming to this to expect that. Actually, no, I want to say this for any Indie Author/Writer out there take advantage of WeInk App and their Writing Portal. Why? Because they have a special editing program that does help. Now, I'm only using the App for it's intended purposes and will go back and fix what is needed. 

You are probably curious of what books I have to edit for approval or have fixed for approval. Here is the list:

A Girl For Her Series Volumes 1-3 (completed)
Fate Of Her Path Series Volumes 1 & 2 (completed book 1; I need to work more on book 2)
A Girl For Her Novel (needs editing)
Power Of Love Novel (needs editing)

Now, you may ask why the list is so short. Reality is all the fucking years I dealt with people calling me out on Grammar and Spelling and begging me to quit was because it was only a short amount of my content. WeInk App has approved and published from Jana & Angel (Older Version:2016-2018) to Happily Ever After Book 1 that is 9 books with waiting on She's My Kind Of Country update and uploading the final 6 books left to complete for Fiction on that App.

Basically from every Author, Readers, and beyond that have taken the time to tell me that I need to "perfect" my work is wrong. The bullies that are out to get me because I'm not what you see in as in Author needs to get their heads out of their ass and try to do this for a living. Those that have pointed out that I would never amount to anything beyond being behind a computer, well, that is your issue not mine. In months time, I will have 30 books to my name and still climb the ladder for not giving up, not quitting or anything of what you expect to me. 

I want to add for those that call me out for my spelling and grammar issues whether you are a reader or an Author how about you sit down, write a book, edit to your best ability (whether with Grammarly, Google Docs spelling and grammar, or paying an editor) and then Publish your book, see how long it takes for those to point out your imperfections this includes my bullies that have a knack for saying my books are trash. 

You can't hurt a person that is already broken into pieces all of their life. I'm saying that with the best confidence that I can muster as I sit here writing this out. You will never break my spirit, you will never dim my light, and you will never steal my dreams. Take a step into my shoes until you can feel your spirit being ruined by others, it don't look pretty on the other side. 

My books are enough in this world for my Teens/Young Adult audience that is all it matters. Because reaching Adult readers has been rather challenging since I started this journey but you know I found my audience. Family, friends, and beyond thank you for the love you have given me along the way and not having me stop when it got tough. 

One last passage: To the inconsiderate asshole from Amazon that bashed A Coffee Shop Romance and calling me names by also admitting of watching me from my Facebook. I hope Karma loves you very much. A Coffee Shop Romance is my best seller and I don't regret that book along with all my other books. Oh yes, to add to your little game play of harassment on Amazon and not saying anything on my recent releases shows you are only going after my fictional stories instead of my non-fiction...hmmmmm shows how little of a life you have. 

Off to go thrive in the world of writing. I got a book due out soon that will get readers excited. 

LET'S GO INDIE AUTHORS!!!  

Friendly reminder to always review books of your favorite Authors it helps get them noticed and pushed forward in the spotlight. All reviews account. 1-5 stars for the reviews also help. 

Love yours truly,

Author Amber M. Kestner

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...

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 o...

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...
