Banner has a black bird on a colorful background. Around the bird are the words, 'Self Published Authors Appreciation Week.' In the top left corner, it says, 'July 21-27, 2024.' In the bottom right corner it says, '#SPAAW'
In the spirit of “a rising tide lifts all boats,” this year for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week, I wanted to give some Self-Published authors a chance to spread some love (while also indulging in a bit of self-promotion, I mean, c’mon, it’s hard out here…)
Spreading the Self-Pub Love with JCM Berne


An Elevator Pitch for Something You Love
Cover for Renia by Karl Forshaw

Renia by Karl Forsham

A scribe, forbidden magics, a tragic past, assassins, politics, and some unfortunate drinking.

The best book you haven’t heard of.


My Elevator Pitch by JCM Berne
Cover to be Revealed
Eyes of Empire: Hybrid Helix Turn Five

The Empire is cruel, sadistic, and random, ordering genocides on dozens of worlds while ruling the rest with a tyrannical fist.

Thinking it can’t be stopped, Rohan abandoned it to live a peaceful life on Wistful.

What will it take for him to face the Empire again?

And if he does, what will it cost?


About this Author
For his midlife crisis JCM Berne, desperate to ret-con his lifelong addiction to genre fiction, comic books, and bad action movies into some kind of deliberate preparation, began writing and publishing novels.

His motto was, “publish them even if they suck.”

Did he fool anyone? Probably not. But he tried.
