After a long journey of outlining, writing, revising, rebuilding scenes, and far too many late nights, over the last twenty five years, I’m excited to officially announce that my largest and most ambitious novel is now available on Amazon.

THE LIGHT WITHIN: The Long Hunt
by JD Buzzard

Find it on Amazon in paperback and digital.

Amazon's algorithm is evolving, and authors need to adapt. Relying solely on Amazon for visibility isn't enough anymore. It's time to build your own platform, connect with readers, and drive traffic to your books. What strategies are working for you? #KDP #BookMarketing #AuthorTraffic #SelfPublishing #AmazonBooks

Well… this is frustrating.

I’ve been publishing my writing through Amazon since around 2017/2018, and last year I decided to expand to other platforms. Draft2Digital seemed like a great, simple way to distribute my books more widely without a lot of extra hassle.

AI has made the landscape a lot messier for actual human creators. There’s been a surge of AI-generated books flooding the market, and now it looks like some companies are responding by introducing fees for independent authors just to get their work out there.

I’ll need to rethink how I’m distributing my writing, because this model doesn’t really work for me right now. Paying an annual fee if I don’t sell enough copies just doesn’t sit right, especially when books take up so little digital space.

While I figure out my next steps and continue working on future projects, feel free to check out and share my work. If you're new to my writing, I'm a genre blender leaning into a dark gothic feel while embracing urban fantasy, science fiction, and post-apocalyptic themes. Give these interesting nightmares a home. You can grab a book at:

If you’re not sure where to start, Making Contact is a shorter read and a great entry point involving an important recurring character in my works, while Shadowed Memories leads into the story I’m currently outlining.
