Introducing Auto Fame

[Indies Unlimited is brought to you in part by PseudoData Laboratories]

Authors, you have enough to worry about without spending time looking for an audience. Here at PseudoData Laboratories, we have the perfect solution for you.

Auto Fame is an exciting new program that can build your sales and readership, allowing you to focus on writing your next bestseller!

In the olden days, authors had to rely on actual people personally buying copies of their books in order to make it onto the most prestigious bestseller lists. What a hassle.

Thanks to technology, those days are gone. All that’s required now is money! With enough money, we can get your books onto any bestseller list. You produce the books, we’ll produce the “fame.”

At PseudoData, we have banks of virtual “people” who can buy and favorably review your book, making it appear as though your book is the best thing since sliced bread. All you have to do is give us the money* to buy enough copies of your book to make your dreams come true!

Remember, time is money. If you’re not giving us your money, you’re wasting your time.

*Other charges, surcharges, service fees, and premiums may apply. Actually, we’re pretty sure they will apply.

Russil Tamsen Announces New Release

Author Russil Tamsen is pleased to announce the release of his new flash fiction collection, Burst.

Slightly demented stories inspired by actual dreams. This collection of 130 quick reads is perfect for when you’re sitting on the john, or you’re needing a quick fiction nibble over lunch. Or you’re just feeling too A.D.D. to commit to a novel. Destined to become the kind of cult classic that William S. Burroughs would pass around to his friends. Also influenced by Tom Robbins and Chuck Palahniuk. BURST is full of memorable, off-kilter characters entangled in uncomfortable comedies of errors and misadventures: from a Guy Ritchie informed thug to telepathic aliens, and more!

Burst was released by QuirkEbooks.com in January 2013 and is currently available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.


Sneak Peek: Arabelle’s Shadows

Today we have a sneak peek from author Fleur Gaskin’s young adult novel, Arabelle’s Shadows.

Arabelle’s life is coming together. She’s confident, she has great friends, and she’s dating Naak! But Bangkok has too many models. Arabelle’s broke and Naak isn’t as wonderful as he first appears. Slowly the Shadows creep back into Arabelle’s mind, bringing with them thoughts of hopelessness and despair. The vile Shadows know something Arabelle’s refusing to remember. If she’s not careful, they’ll use it to destroy her.

Based on a true story, Arabelle’s Shadows takes us on a journey through the struggles of growing up, not quite making it as an international model, and attempting to overcome a crushing depression.

Arabelle’s Shadows is available through Amazon.com, Amazon UK, SmashwordsKobo, and other online retailers.
