The Narratess Indie April Sale is back, bloating your TBR for 2025.

April is all about celebrating independent authors, and the Narratess sale, having grown to be one of the biggest sales around, has for the longest time, been at the forefront of that celebration. And this year is no exception, with nearly 300 books and authors participating, all discounted from $1.99 to FREE.

This year many authors have expanded to a wide variety of platforms, so you won’t be limited to just buying from Amazon. This includes my Augment Saga series starter, From the Grave of the Gods, which will be just $0.99 or equivalent in all marketplaces and on all platforms including Amazon, Kobo, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Smashwords, and many more.

So on Saturday, be sure to visit the sale page at indiebook.sale, browse the expansive collection, and find your new favourite sci-fi, fantasy, or horror author!

Indie April Sci-Fi Promo & Author Interviews

Indie April doesn’t begin and end with the Narratess Sale, though! Myself and a handful of fellow indie sci-fi authors have been interviewed by Leon Stevens on his website as part of a group Indie April promo.

There’s books here from Maya Darjani, Lydia L Baker, Nikki Brooke, and Brian J Lynch, as well as my own From the Grave of the Gods.

The interview was great fun with some really interesting questions. They’re all well worth reading. Check them out here
