December Update

The Holiday Season is upon us. This is the month I promote all of my books on as many sites as possible. I am always looking for new promotion sites for indie authors such as myself. Not many of them do as well as I hope for, but I keep trying to expand my reader base.

I am participating in the increasingly popular promo, Smashwords End of Year Sale, by offering a discount of 50% off all my books. The sale goes through January 1, 2026. Here is a link to my books: ​www.smashwords.com/profile/view/donviecelli

I am also participating in a new Bargain Booksy Win A Free Kindle promotion by giving away my ebook, Alien Times Series, in order to add new subscribers to my Newsletter. Here is the link: Science Fiction eBook and Kindle Giveaway – December 1st 2025 – Bargain Booksy
​
​My writing plans for 2026 include creating Google Play Audiobooks for my Nanomachine War series of books and others as time permits. I plan to complete my first book-to-script for screenplay submissions. I also plan to write a prequel novella for my new Alien Times series Book 1. So far, my writing only serves as a rewarding hobby until I create a bestseller.

Interesting sidenote, one of my books was used to train Anthropic's AI and is subject to a lawsuit settlement payment. It appears they copied over 450,000 ebooks with copyright protection without approval. More lawsuits are in process with other AI companies. It pays to copyright your books as soon as they are written.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
