Hey guys,

I just finished writing and publishing my second book Famles: Fables and fairytales for Men. It's the first in a (hopefully) long series.
The book has been proofread by about 10 forum members and so far the critiques are very positive.

The cover:


As the title shows, the 10 short stories inside the book are fairytales for men. Some are adaptations of known fairytales, some are original stories by me. As you can probably guess, the stories aren't very women friendly and have a dash of red pill to them. I hope to reach an audience in as well outside the manosphere and perhaps get more than a few betas thinking.
The stories will be more Red Pill as the series develop. Right now I'm trying to find my voice in fiction writing.

As the thread title says, I'm giving away the Kindle book for free this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and as a bonus for forum members who don't know me (I have been away for a while, trying to get my screenplay produced) I will also give away my other book "Around the world in world in 80 Girls" for free on Saturday. That's 12$ free.

Reviews will be highly appreciated.

Stay Cool,

Neil Skywalker

I don't read stuff like this but I think it's really cool you wrote something original.

May I ask how long it took you?

I've been considering doing something like this for a long time.

I too wouldn't mind reading it. I haven't read any fiction in a while.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

@Cheetah. The book is only available in paperback and Kindle format. With the kindle app you can read kindle books on any smartphone, tablet or laptop. Because I'm opted in to the Kindle select (lending) program, I'm not allowed to publish on other platforms like Smashwords.

@linux. I don't count time when I write but the total package of coming up with ideas, making notes, writing, editing, (outsourcing) cover design, editing again, formatting the files, editing again, and learning and setting up an publishing account and especially learning how to promote your stuff takes up seas of time. Not to mention battling with procrastination and writer's block. Some things get easier over time, other thing don't.

You have to do it for the love of it. This small book alone set me back 500$ without any prediction if it sells or not. And i'm even giving it away for free the first days.

Haha, I said it has a dash of Red Pill but I intend to deepen the message in following books as i'm trying to find my voice for fiction. Right now it's mostly humor.

I've given away 251 copies of "Around the world in 80 girls" for free in one day yesterday. I think that's enough for now. That promo was only on Saturday.

Lowest ranking was 1878 at two Nr.1 category spots

The "Famles: Fables and Fairy Tales for men" promo is still running. Just today left.

Looking forward to reading the reviews.

Great read, if you guys missed on his generous offer, buy it and enjoy the parity. It really was well done. Adam and Steve....fucking funny!

I read 'Around the world in 80 lays' a while back. Interesting read.

Do you plan on releasing a Kindle version of Famles for UK customers?

Both paperback and Kindle version are available worldwide.

I have made a tiny letter adjustment in the title (a capital), the book might be off sale for up to 12 hours for US and 48 hours worldwide but usually it doesn't take that long.
