I'm going to try out a new pricing structure. Hopefully, this helps makes Malitu more accessible for readers.

For anyone interested, I'll explain a bit about why below.

I would like to introduce The Arcanist Guild!

We came together because we write emotionally charged, morally nuanced, and thought-provoking fantasy books. Dark stories that can shine a light on our personal struggles and make us feel seen.

Something big is coming soon.

After comments I saw yesterday, I had a lot of thoughts and feelings. I did what I often do, and I wrote.

People like @bshgarcia.bsky.social are always asking weird questions. Like what is this supposed to mean?

I'm still kinda sad the series is over too.

"If you haven’t read this series and you like epic fantasy, you’re missing out. The Malitu books begin with No Heart for a Thief."

I didn't say it. It was @AJCalvin. I mean I agree.

A.J. Calvin @ajcalvin.bsky.social · Sep 7

Only a Grave Wll Do was my favorite book of the series, and I'm kind of sad the story is over.

Reviewing a book 3 is never easy, so I focused on the overall elements of why I liked the series as a whole.
My review below.

Do you enjoy rage? @ajcalvin.bsky.social seemed to. Check out this amazing review for No Safe Haven!

A.J. Calvin @ajcalvin.bsky.social · Sep 2

Set in a war-torn land where the power of the spirits is coveted (and abused) by both sides, No Safe Haven by James L Dulin was not only an excellent sequel, but in my opinion, it was better than book 1.

However, because my social media reach is limited, I am trying to reach new readers through Facebook ads. The problem is that is it almost impossible to break even on ads when your book is $0.99.

So I am choosing to bet on Facebook ads to reach a new audience.

James Lloyd Dulin @jamesldulin.bsky.social · Aug 28

Having an ebook at $0.99 is an attempt to lower the bar for entry. This worked when I initially launched No Heart for a Thief. My sales slowed when I increased the price to $2.99 about a year later. So I decided to try $0.99 out again with the launch of Only a Grave Will Do.

James Lloyd Dulin @jamesldulin.bsky.social · Aug 28

I am changing my ebook prices again, starting September 1. So get your copy of No Heart for a Thief for $0.99 while you can.
