I’m an indie author.

Which, to me—a child of the ’80s—sounds pretty badass. 😂
Indie = independent.
It means I write and publish my own books. I run my own store. And I get to make my own rules.
One of my favorite rules I’ve made?
You pay what you want.
You choose your price for the first eight Sydney Rye Mysteries in ebook or digital audiobook. Save 40% on paperbacks.
I’ve been running this offer for a few years now, and here’s the amazing thing: it works.
Some people pay the minimum.
Some choose the suggested price.
Others chip in more—occasionally a lot more.
And it balances out.
I hear from readers that they feel too guilty to pay the minimum so don’t read the books. But listen—it’s not you, it’s capitalism.
The system is broken.
But this little corner of the internet? It’s working just fine.
We each do what we can. And it’s enough. 💛
You deserve to read these books as much as someone who pays retail or more. We all deserve catharsis in these “interesting times”. 🤯
Sydney Rye and her dog, Blue, exact justice with a vengeance. The dog doesn’t die, but the bad guys do. And, seriously, pay what you want–I know my value and it has nothing to do with how much money I make. 😉
