Weekly Update #2 — Building Momentum

Posted on September 10, 2025

This week was about keeping the publishing machine moving — small wins that add up, and putting focus where it matters most.


Main Update

  • First Kindle Release
    The biggest news this week: I submitted my first full Kindle title, Tome of Tables Volume 1, and it’s now live. That’s a big step forward — expanding beyond paperbacks and print into the Kindle ecosystem opens up new ways for readers to connect with my work.
  • Catalog Updates
    This week was also heavy on puzzle book revisions. I went back through a number of titles to clean up, refresh, and improve them. I also caught and fixed an error in one of my RPG books (The Last Watcher), so the catalog is in much better shape overall.
  • Building a Routine
    A big focus has been establishing consistency: review requests going out twice a day, ad budgets set so I’m not bleeding money while waiting for traction, and a steady rhythm for publishing and promotion. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the kind of work that keeps the whole engine moving.
  • Advertising Strategy
    I started testing a new approach with Amazon Ads — pulling out underperforming titles and swapping in potential winners. The idea is simple: stop paying for clicks that don’t convert, and give more space to the books that do have momentum.
  • Graphics & A+ Content
    Along the way I created a lot of new graphics: updated A+ content, refreshed covers, and promo images for featured books. The visuals make a difference — both for readers browsing Amazon and for the weekly updates I’m sharing here.
  • Looking Further Ahead
    I also started making progress on some longer-term ideas. A new solo TTRPG for Kindle is in the early stages, along with a couple brand-new word search titles. These projects will take more time to bring to life, but they’re moving forward.

📚 This Week’s Featured Books

  • Conspiracy Theories Word Search — 55 puzzles packed with secrets, cover-ups, and mysteries waiting to be solved.
  • Vector Zero: Hooks from the Edge — 100+ sci-fi RPG hooks for building adventures at the edge of known space.
  • Tome of Tables Volume 1 — now available on Kindle! Packed with creative RPG tables for dungeon masters and storytellers.

🛠 Tools I’m Using

  • Publisher Champ — my (favorite) new publishing dashboard (affiliate link).
  • GetBooksReviewed.com — premium plan still pending review, but in testing.

Looking Ahead

I’ve got more updates coming across the catalog — new promotions, fresh ideas, and ways to keep these books moving forward. I’ll share what’s changing (and why) in next week’s update. Stay tuned.


Closing Note

Every week doesn’t have to be huge. Sometimes it’s about polishing systems, getting reviews moving, and laying the groundwork for bigger pushes. The momentum is real — and it builds piece by piece.
