The Evil Indie Author by Luis Samways.

In this short book, Luis tells you all you need to know about being an Indie Author through the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing platform.

I really enjoyed reading this book because of his frankness. It is not a get-rich-quick guide but a down to earth business plan. Luis is not writing about fame, fortune or celebrity but the idea of earning a living wage from writing books. He writes with great passion about writing every working day to develop a catalogue of books that will trickle an income to provide a salary similar to any other day job. It is this down to earth realism that is so attractive about this book. He is not talking about mega-riches but a living wage every month for a writer who writes every day.

When you read a regular novel, you should get a good feeling at the end. This book is no different because at the end you come away with the reassurance that should your day job come to a sudden end, there is another field that you could step into to earn a living wage.

So for me this book worked in 2 ways, a fall back job option plus the joy of reading about an imaginative and fulfilling keyboard based working life where you are the boss. Luis gets his message across loud and clear in this short book that was a pleasure to read. Okay, he does rant a little but this book certainly made me think. I found this a refreshing 5 star read and although I am happy in my day job, tapping out this review on my Chromebook does make me wonder!

The Evil Indie Author is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2015.
