There are 48 million books on Amazon. Let me repeat that. There are 48 million books on Amazon. So as you can very well imagine, it is difficult for a not-well-known author to be discovered. Sometimes, a promotion helps. And every now and then, my free kindle deal for "The Senthien" helped me found some new readers. This time, however, when I did my free-promo, something quite amazing happened! "The Senthien" climbed up to a number 1 spot on Amazon USA, UK, Japan, Brazil, C

If any of you were wondering who is the mystery person behind the amazing honey-colored voice of my audiobooks "The Senthien" and "The Mind", it is an actress, Corinne Davies. And today I'm bringing you the interview where she explains what -or who- inspires her voice choices, where does her voice-shifter talent come from and what is the process in auditioning and narrating the books. The link below is an abridged version, but if you want to see the full version of this inter

For many life changes, one can point to a specific event that was pivotal for that change in life's direction. In my case, it was a book I read more than ten years ago, and also something that the author mentioned in one of her interviews. Check it out! How many of you like "Twilight"? Take care and stay safe!

I think I can talk for all authors when I say that each and every one of us fears that our work will be disliked, that people won't respond to it, that it will leave them unaffected, especially if we give heart and soul into our creative work (which is pretty much always). I succumbed to the same fear so much, that I unpublished some of my work due to the response. And then, I had a good talk with a very clever person who taught me some wisdom ;-) Check out my short stories:.

A long time ago, my mother in law told me that there are three components to happiness. Looking forward to something, to love and be loved, and to be recognised and acknowledged by others. Today I will focus on the last one: recognition, and what does recognition mean for a writer.

Today I'm playing the last of the audiobook excerpts from my book "The Senthien" and, as a proper romance author, I chose this one to be one of the romantic scenes. Also, this is a place where where Humans find out that Senthiens can tell the future, and where J finds out that he needs to change something to make this particular future happen ;-) #audiobookgiveaway Findaway Voices, the production and distribution company for audiobooks, is offering 10 free copies of the aud

I figured since I have the paperback for "The Senthien" and "The Mind", I might as well do one for my tech-thriller stand-alone novel "Swift Escape". And for this episode I invited someone very special: Sam Swift, a main male protagonist of "Swift Escape". I hope you enjoy it :)

Today, I am playing a scene from Chapter 5 where readers find out that a premise of the story - is a lie. So if you haven't read "The Senthien" yet (and want to), and you like twists and surprises, please skip this Vlog post ;-) For all others, I like this scene a lot, firstly because this is also the moment when my protagonist, Dora Dana Dasnan, finds out the truth as well (and I like how she reacts ;-)), and secondly, here you can really enjoy the narration. Voice acted

Last weekend my family and I went for a long dog walk starting in Bad Ragaz and ending up in the fields of Maienfeld. These names won't mean much to most people. But what if I told you that this is the spot where one of the best-ever selling books was written (no, not mine ;-)) and all the events in the book happened exactly here? Any ideas? Perhaps if I tell you that another name for this place is called Heidiland, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. In 1881 Swiss

Today I am playing a scene that I find super cute. A group of Old Earth people and Dora are about to cross the rushing river using zip-lining. Dora is getting ready and J is adjusting straps, when at one moment, they realise they are too close to each other. Dora´s Descendant upbringing urges her to move away but her inner emotions glue her to the ground. I hope you enjoy it!

When I find an idea for a book, it is unmistakably because of the handful of scenes that keep churning in my mind, that I can´t get rid off and that move me so much I wished there was a book or a movie already done and I could read/watch it again and again. Since this is not the case, the only solution is to write the story myself. Here I will play the first of several scenes in "The Senthien" that were "memorable" scenes for me, and also the scenes I wrote first. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago, I promised I will tell you about three stages of book production. This was related to my "silence" before I had published "The Mind", and for all of you who wondered why this was, here is the answer :) Check out my new Vlog to find out what the phases are and which one I prefer the most!

I know many of you can't leave your homes. In Switzerland, we still can (provided we keep distance). So I hope that by taking this virtual walk with me today, you get to enjoy the nature at least a little bit :) Take a good care of yourselves, stay healthy and be optimistic! We will get through this! p.s. A reminder: "The Senthien" e-book is free during lock-down :-) https://dl.bookfunnel.com/skbvl4vf0u

For every author it is extremely rewarding and gratifying holding your own book in your hands. And so it is with me as well :) Today, I am unboxing two of my books, The Senthien and The Mind. Also, I am giving away four copies of each book - signed by me - anywhere in the world, for free. Check out my newest YouTube video to find out how to get your freebies.

I am super happy to tell you that "The Mind", the sequel of "The Senthien" is live and available on all e-book platforms. For all who have been waiting for it - thank you for your patience :) and I hope you will find it rewarding. Please do let me know what you think, and of course, I would very much appreciate your review. And for me? I am equally excited to start on a new book, the third in the series. As those of you who have been following me know, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the

The lockdown most of the countries now have due to Corona-virus has been a huge hit, not only on the economy, but on a mental health as well. Below, a link to my newest Vlog episode on how I deal with it myself. I hope you might find some tips and tricks useful for yourself as well. In the meantime, for all readers who love romance and science fiction, bundled into one, I have my debut novel "The Senthien" free during the lockdown time. It might help you forget about the wor

Please introduce yourself and your books! Hi, everyone! I’m Tara Jade Brown and I write romance novels in a wide range of settings, from fantasy and historical to sci-fi, contemporary and post-ap: whichever I need to make a specific story happen. Although love stories are the spines of my plots, each of them holds a mystery that my protagonists, and my readers, need to decipher. I love building mysteries for my readers, and I often use my educational background to do this: I

This video is for my YouTube subscribers, and today we are celebrating a round number 10! ;-) Join me on a little trip, and I'll tell you what a book from Nicolas Sparks inspired me to do. My wish is that the books I write inspire you in some way too and make you do and feel things in a certain way just because you once read my book :) This, I believe, is a wish I think I share with all other authors. https://youtu.be/sCWsJ7mq8Nc

When Dora and her teammates - in my book "The Senthien" - finally access the old computer facility, the images on the ancient large OLED screens leave them overwhelmed. These are the images of the old Earth, and they are simply amazing. With 5000 years in the future and light-years away from the old Earth, Dora has never seen anything like this before in her life: she is left breathless. And so should we all be: Earth is not to be taken for granted. Appreciate it. Treasure i
