So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 308 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 19th, 2026 and today we are looking at the advantages of using Kindle Unlimited for your books. Two weeks ago, we had an episode about the advantages of going wide and distributing it away from Amazon, but there is another side of the coin and today we're going to look at it in the advantages of Kindle Unlimited. We also have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects and Coupon of the Week. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress, Book #8 in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills), at my Payhip store. That code is JUNEDOOM. As always, the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store will be available in these show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through July 7th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook for your travels this summer, we have got you covered. So now let's take a look at where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Blade of Thieves is done. It turned out to be just about as long as Blade of Wraiths. I'm also finished with Orcish Fury, which will be the bonus short story that newsletter subscribers will get a free ebook copy of when Blade of Thieves comes out. I am now editing Blade of Thieves. The first two chapters are edited. I am not sure how many chapters I'll end up with because I've gotten into the habit of splitting up longer chapters into shorter chapters lately since readers seem to prefer that. I do think the book will probably be out after 4th of July weekend if all goes well, because it is a big book and I'm going to have to do a fair bit of editing and I do have a few more things to do in real life that might slow the process down. But if all goes well, the book should be out shortly after the 4th of July weekend. I am also 13,000 words into Cloak of Frost, which will be my next main project once Blade of Thieves is finally done. That will probably be available in August, if all goes well. In audiobook news, at the moment I have no audiobooks in active production, but that will change next month because Leanne Woodward will be recording Dragon-Mage. Hollis McCarthy will be recording Cloak of Worlds and Brad Wills will be recording Blade of Thieves once I finally get it done. So it's funny how things always seem to do a bunch up like that rather than having a more conveniently distributed fashion, but I suppose that's just the nature of life. In other audiobook news, I mentioned earlier that Cloak of Dragons is now available in Audible Plus for those of you who are Audible listeners who have a plan that includes that. Before too much longer, I'm going to start working on the audiobook version of Cloak Mage Omnibus Four, which will combine I believe Cloak of Embers, Cloak of Titans, and Cloak of Illusion into one audiobook bundle. I've done that before [in] the past [with] Cloak Mage books and it's worked pretty well, so we're going to do it with this one as well. I'm going to start working on that next week because I've got to make the cover and then it takes forever to upload all the audiobook files. Hopefully that will be out sometime in July, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:03:23 Main Topic of the Week: When and Why to Put Your Books in Kindle Unlimited (KU) Now let's move on to our main topic this week, when and why to put your books in Kindle Unlimited. You might remember that two weeks ago (with Episode 306, I believe) we discussed the advantages and benefits of taking your books wide and not exclusive to Amazon. However, there are reasons it might actually be a good decision to put your books in Kindle Unlimited. In this week's episode, we'll talk about why you might want to consider putting your book in Kindle Unlimited. First, we should discuss how Kindle Unlimited actually works, defining our terms, so to speak. Kindle Unlimited is Amazon's merchandising program for ebooks, essentially. To use the program, you agree that your ebook will be exclusive to Amazon for the next three months (and by default, it auto renews, but you can turn that off in the dashboard). The advantages to you for using Kindle Unlimited are that in addition to buying your book outright, people can also check it out in the Kindle Unlimited program and then you get paid based on how many pages they read. The payout typically varies, but it's usually 45% of one cent [USD] per page read. For example, Half-Elven Thief, you can buy it for $4.99, but in terms of Kindle Unlimited, it comes to about 300 Kindle Unlimited pages, which means that if a reader reads the entire book, I typically get about $1.35 for a complete read. Obviously, this advantages longer books, whereas with the sale of the book, I would get like $3.49, which is significantly more, but it is possible to make up in volume of page reads lost sales on other platforms if the circumstances are right. So that is how Kindle Unlimited works. And now we will look at eight reasons why it is a good idea or why it might be a good idea and why it might be advantageous for you to put your books into Kindle Unlimited. #1: Certain genres are KU dominant. This is not true across all genres, but certain genres tend to be heavily dominated by Kindle Unlimited readers. For example, LitRPG is a unique case because the most popular LitRPG tends to be in serialized form on sites like Royal Road and similar sites, but when it does come to ebook form, it's usually on Kindle Unlimited. So if you're looking to read LitRPG, you will find most of it on Kindle Unlimited and not on the other sites. Other genres tend to be not totally dominant to that effect the way that LitRPG is, but do still have a great deal of strength in Kindle Unlimited, such as military sci-fi, certain kind of thrillers, and certain romance genres as well tend to be very heavily dominated by Kindle Unlimited. So if you are writing in one of those genres, it may be worth your while to consider that it may be advantageous to you to put your book in Kindle Unlimited and see how it performs. #2: The Kindle Unlimited Boost It's no secret that Amazon definitely puts its thumb on the scales for Kindle Unlimited books as opposed to regular ebooks. I've noticed that Kindle Unlimited books tend to go higher in the Amazon rankings. They tend to stay up there for longer than non-Kindle Unlimited books and that reviews generally show up faster for Kindle Unlimited books than they do for non-Kindle Unlimited books. That last part might vary, but the ranking thing is true. It's also true that the higher a book stays in the Amazon rankings and for longer, the more likely it is Amazon is to generate "we think you might like this" emails and send them out to readers in hopes of drawing them to your books. So it is true that Amazon definitely gives a lot of advantages to Kindle Unlimited books that other books don't get. And depending on your sales strategy and your genre, as we mentioned before, it might be worthwhile for your book to be in Kindle Unlimited. #3: Your sales data supports it. If you publish a book wide and after you look at a couple of months of sales data and you notice something like 95% of the sales are coming from Amazon, it might be worthwhile to consider taking the book exclusive and putting it in Kindle Unlimited since in that instance, the boost of page reads and page reads revenue would make up for the sales you clearly aren't getting on the other platforms. Now the threshold for this obviously varies a good deal. I've had months in the past where only like 45% of my revenue came from Amazon and in some of my older series in particular, the Amazon revenue tends to only be around like 40 to 45% and the rest comes from all the other retailers. So in that case, obviously it would be a very poor decision to take the book exclusive to Amazon and take it off all the other retailers. So this is a case where it is once again a good idea to monitor your sales data closely so you can make informed decision rather than working off of gut hunches and guesswork. #4: It permits you to reach readers who aren't buying individual books and value conscious readers. When I've talked about Kindle Unlimited on Facebook and my website in the past, I usually get comments from people who point out that they are on fixed incomes, whether from retirement or disability or taking care of other relatives and so forth and that Kindle Unlimited for them is a great deal because in exchange for $12 a month, they can read as many KU books as they have time to read. That is true. Kindle Unlimited is a much better deal for readers than it is for the majority of writers. And having your book in Kindle Unlimited is a way to reach those value conscious readers who will not buy individual ebooks for whatever reason, whether budgetary constraints or other reasons but do have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Kindle Unlimited offers you a way to reach those readers that you otherwise would not and that is a potentially useful advantage. #5: It helps you to find new readers and binge readers. Kindle Unlimited kind of works a little bit like the permafree strategy, which I've discussed before, where that if you make the first book in your series free, people are more likely to take a chance on it than they would otherwise. The same thing is true of Kindle Unlimited because if someone's already paid the Kindle Unlimited subscription for a month, it's a sunk cost and therefore there is no disadvantage or additional cost to them for trying out your book and that can potentially lead to a strong sales boost for you if someone discovers your books and likes it. Additionally, if you have a series, every time you release a new book in the series, there is a strong chance your previous books will get a boost. This has been my strategy with the Half-Elven Thief series for the last two and a half years. Now, every time I release a new book in the series, I am fortunate enough that it does well enough that it goes high in the ranks for a while and that causes a sort of halo effect as people discover the previous books in the series for the first time and read through them with their Kindle Unlimited subscriptions, which generates a lot of page reads and therefore revenue. As I said before, a complete read through of Half-Elven Thief, the first book in a series by itself tends to get me around $1.30 to $1.50, depending on what the KU payout rate is that month. By contrast, if a Kindle Unlimited reader reads through all six books in the series, that tends to be around $8 to $8.50, which is a good chunk of revenue. These are often people who, as I mentioned in the previous point, would not have bought the individual ebooks. So that is potentially a big advantage, especially if you write in series and you regularly release in that series because then you get the halo effect to it. #6: It simplifies your ads and marketing strategy. I've often recommended to people who are just starting out self-publishing that it's a good idea to start on Amazon and KU and then see if they want to expand later because it's very simple to just manage one dashboard as opposed to like seven or eight different retailers. As self-publishers get more advanced experience, they tend to prefer to go wide. This also means that your ads are simplified because then you just have to worry about Amazon ads. You can do BookBub ads for KU books. I have not found that to be very advantageous because it's so expensive, but Amazon ads for KU books tend to be very effective and fairly cost effective so long as you monitor the costs and keep your cost per click and ad budget down closely. #7: KU has kind of what I call an immediacy bias. It definitely favors new material over older material. I would not say it's a good idea to take an old series out and put it in KU, especially if it's been on Amazon for several years because the Amazon algorithm definitely tends to reward newness. Self-publishers will talk about the 30, 60, and 90 day cliff where sales tend to drop off, partly from just the organic effect of the book having reached most of its target audience and partly because the Amazon algorithms stop pushing it so much once they reach those points. Kindle Unlimited really, really likes new stuff and I think they change the algorithms on a regular basis, but I think it gives a strong advantage to new stuff. So that ties in if you write a long series and publish new books in it on a regular basis, then you will probably see a strong advantage from that because each new additional book you published in the series will get that new book Halo Effect, which will then boost the other books in the series and that's happening with Half-Elven Thief right now with Dragon-Mage boosting the previous books in the series. #8: Don't plan on keeping your books in Kindle Unlimited forever. As I mentioned in previous episodes of this podcast, my strategy going forward is to only write three series at a time, two of which will be wide and one of which will be in Kindle Unlimited. Once Half-Elven Thief is finished, and I've written the ninth book in the series and it's all wrapped up, I will take it out of Kindle Unlimited and take it to the other platforms because of KU's newness bias. As I mentioned before, since I will no longer be writing new books in the Half-Elven Thief series, they will no longer get that halo boost of page reads from a new book and therefore it makes sense to take it out of Kindle Unlimited and then take it wide to other retailers. I know of other indie authors who do this. [They] will start out their series in Kindle Unlimited and then when it's complete, take it wide to other retailers and that is something I think is worth thinking about if you are publishing your book in Kindle Unlimited is that once the series is done and once you're no longer publishing new books that receive advantages from KU's preference for new material, it is definitely time to start thinking about taking the series out of Kindle Unlimited and putting it on other platforms. Indeed, this is advice I'm going to follow myself once Half-Elven Thief is finished. So there are eight potential reasons putting your book in Kindle Unlimited might be advantageous to you and now the question always tends to be a bit of a binary one is like, should my book be wide? Should my book be in Kindle Unlimited? The secret is there is no right answer. There is just the answer that is right for you and your individual circumstances at this point in time. Like I mentioned earlier, myself, I'm doing a hybrid strategy where most of my books remain wide and most of my new books are wide, but I do have one series in Kindle Unlimited that I am continuing and that might work for you if you write fast enough or it might work better for you to be wide. It might work what better for you to be in Kindle Unlimited. It is just important to reflect and soberly and honestly analyze the data and then make the best decision that is right for you and your self-publishing business. So that is it for this week.

Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Dr Tim Coughlin tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that drilling at Margaritas has delivered a genuine surprise: high-grade silver-antimony veins where the company expected gold-rich epithermal mineralisation, alongside a broader low-grade envelope pointing toward a larger porphyry system. Coughlin is direct about the significance: "We very clearly have a standalone mine potential project there for silver and antimony." With high-grade veins at Margaritas and a growing porphyry cluster at Güíntar four kilometres to the north, geological evidence is beginning to suggest the two systems may be connected. Vectoring studies integrating geochemical data, geophysics and planned airborne surveys are now underway to locate the primary source of the hydrothermal system and refine targets for the next phase of drilling.

Royal Road Minerals CEO Dr. Tim Coughlin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to outline the company's ongoing exploration strategy in Colombia, highlighting active drilling progress, improving permitting conditions, and the long-term discovery potential across its extensive mineral portfolio. Coughlin said the company has continued to maintain what he described as an apolitical but cooperative operating approach in Colombia, emphasizing strong community engagement and local partnerships despite heightened political attention ahead of the country's upcoming elections. He noted that maintaining constructive relationships with communities and regulators remains a key part of Royal Road Minerals' strategy as it advances exploration programs across multiple regions. According to Coughlin, the company's immediate exploration priority is the GAM porphyry cluster, where drilling activities are currently underway. He stressed that Royal Road is targeting large-scale discoveries rather than smaller standalone deposits, stating that management is “not looking for small deposits.” The company believes the district-scale potential of GAM could position it as one of the more significant exploration opportunities within its Colombian portfolio. Coughlin explained that the GAM project currently consists of three separate porphyry systems, although exploration drilling to date has focused primarily on only one of the targets. As drilling progresses, the company hopes to expand exploration efforts across all three systems during the year, potentially unlocking broader resource potential throughout the district. Beyond GAM, Royal Road Minerals continues to advance several additional high-priority assets within its Colombian land package, which spans more than 1,840 square kilometres of licences and applications. Among the standout projects highlighted by Coughlin were El Molino in Caldas and La Llanada in Nariño, both of which management believes offer significant exploration upside. The CEO acknowledged that certain projects in southern Colombia continue to face logistical and social challenges, including infrastructure access and permitting complexities. However, he suggested that future advancement in those regions will likely depend on continued political support, improved accessibility, and stable operating conditions. In addition to ongoing drilling at GAM, Royal Road Minerals is awaiting further assay and exploration results from the Margaritas project while continuing efforts to advance GAM toward a potential resource-stage milestone by year-end. #proactiveinvestors #royalroadsmineralslimited #tsxv #ryr #MiningNews #GoldExploration #CopperExploration #ColombiaMining #ResourceDiscovery #MineralExploration #MiningStocks #Porphyry #GoldMining

Royal Road Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:RYR, OTC:RRDMF, FRA:RLU) CEO Tim Coughlin tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company has made a significant step forward at its Guintar–Aleman–Margaritas (GAM) project in Colombia, with a standout drill result of 96 metres at 1.1 grams per tonne gold equivalent and a clear fix on where the high-grade core sits. "We've hit the high-grade core in holes 12, 13 and 28… we've figured out where it goes," Coughlin says — a critical development in understanding the geometry of what he describes as a system with "tier one potential," now interpreted across around six square kilometres. New drone surveys and reprocessed geophysics have identified three porphyry targets at GAM, with two largely untested by drilling. The near-term catalyst to watch is assay results from initial drilling at the Margaritas target, expected shortly.

That's why some more genteel-churchy responses to pop culture have said “it's useless” or else “stay away” from stories like Harry Potter, Doom, or Dungeons and Dragons. So is it any wonder that a top-selling subgenre among young male readers is LitRPG, often with totally epic and jacked soldier good guys (maybe with mech suits) who slay evil aliens and demons?

Royal Road Minerals is advancing its Güíntar-Aleman–Margaritas project in Colombia, says CEO Tim Coughlin. The company maintains a dominant position as Colombia's largest mining title holder, managing over 1,800 square kilometers of prospective copper and gold projects. Following a period of regulatory reassessment in the country, the company has resumed drilling at the GAM project, focusing on a significant porphyry-skarn system that remains open at depth. Beyond South America, Royal Road is leveraging strategic partnerships and modernized mining laws to execute exploration campaigns in both Morocco and Saudi Arabia.

Royal Road Minerals CEO Dr. Tim Coughlin joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company's exploration progress in Colombia, including current drilling activities and the broader strategy that has shaped Royal Road's presence in the country. During the interview, Coughlin explained that Royal Road Minerals has built its Colombian portfolio over several years, beginning with the company's entry into the country around 2015, just before the 2016 peace process. He noted that the company worked closely with government initiatives and local communities as it established exploration projects across prospective mineral regions. The company later strengthened its position by acquiring exploration assets from AngloGold Ashanti in 2019, which helped Royal Road expand its land holdings. Coughlin said this has made Royal Road one of the largest title application holders in the country. Current exploration is focused on projects in Antioquia where the company has previously identified significant mineralisation. According to Coughlin, earlier drilling intersected long zones of copper, gold and silver mineralisation, including “pretty significant intersections… well beyond 300 metres.” Royal Road Minerals has now resumed drilling after a key title was granted in December, allowing the company to continue testing the system. Coughlin said the team is seeing similar mineralised characteristics in the current program while working to define the scale of the target. He also highlighted a newly announced memorandum of understanding with the governor of Nariño province aimed at supporting exploration access while formalising informal mining activity in the region. Coughlin said the district represents a largely underexplored section of the Andes with significant geological potential. #proactiveinvestors #royalroadsminerals #otcqb #rrdmf #tsxv #ryr #pdac2026 #RoyalRoadMinerals #TimCoughlin #MiningStocks #CopperGold #ColombiaMining #GoldExploration #CopperExploration #JuniorMining #ResourceInvesting #MiningNews #ProactiveInvestors

Tim Coughlin of Royal Road Minerals joins MSD from the Rule Investment Symposium for a breakdown of the exploration work happening throughout their portfolio of jurisdictions.

Don't be afraid to rebel—just do it wisely.Too often, writers stick to the “safe” path when it comes to marketing—social posts, newsletter swaps, maybe a hopeful BookTok attempt, and then wonder why no one's noticing. The truth? In an overcrowded market, sometimes you need to step a little outside the lines to get seen.This livestream of the Author Culture Podcast with special guest J.J. Johnson is all about low-risk, high-creativity marketing moves that help authors stand out without burning out—or breaking the bank.Think: experimental fiction drops on nontraditional platforms, story-first marketing on Substack, Royal Road, small-scale stunts that get people talking, and ways to build a reputation that doesn't rely on chasing algorithms.Author Culture is a reader-supported podcast that I create to help scifi and fantasy authors just like you.

In episode #293, we welcome good friend of The Coaches Site, Dave Smith. Two days before we were scheduled to record this podcast he notified us that he had been relieved of his duties as the Head Coach of RPI. Despite that, he agreed to join the pod with his only request being that we focus on the future and the positive experiences he enjoyed during his eight season's leading the RPI program. Previous to his time with RPI Smith spent 12 seasons as Head Coach at Canisius College. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Coach for seven seasons split between Miami University (Ohio), Bowling Green, and Mercyhurst. He is now going to start a new chapter in his coaching journey and will again relish in the opportunity to build and lead a team. We hope that this conversation will give other coaches hope and help them navigate the curveballs that the game throws at them. Listen as he shares the message he left his players with after being let go, why the royal road has changed offensive hockey, and why it all starts with following you passion.

The proponents of the term state that in LitRPG, games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story, and visible RPG statistics (for example strength, intelligence, damage) are a significant part of the reading experience.[2] This distinguishes the genre from novels that tie in with a game, e.g. those set in the world of Dungeons and Dragons,[1] or books that are actual games, such as the choose-your-own-path Fighting Fantasy type of publication. Typically, the main character in a LitRPG novel is consciously interacting with the game or game-like world and attempting to progress within it. -------------------- Taken from Wikipedia It also Falls under the classification of IsekaiPortal Fantasy ---------------------------------------------- Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world") is an "accidental travel" genre of light novels, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn or otherwise trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world. In some versions, the protagonist is depicted as being already familiar with the parallel world, as it is often a fictional universe from a fictitious work published in the protagonist's origin universe (see Sonic Storybook Series). It is equally likely the parallel world may also be unknown to them, as is the case with 'Reverse Isekai' stories such as Sonic X, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, and Isekai Quartet. The new universe can be an entirely different alien world where only the protagonist retains knowledge and has any memory of their former life, as in Saga of Tanya the Evil and Ascendance of a Bookworm. How the protagonist gets there can vary greatly: in some media, they are reincarnated into that world after dying; in others, they are summoned or teleported to that world by accidental or intended reasons, as in the case of Isekai Cheat Magician; or they may unknowingly have walked through a portal connecting two worlds, as in the case of Spirited Away and Inuyasha. In Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, an entire population of humans appeared in the magically created world was transported from Earth and got partially mixed with local dragonlike Heavenly Beings.[1] It may also be one where a formerly virtual world turns into a real one, such as in Log Horizon and Overlord. ----------------- #narration #webnovel #litrpg web novel full audiobook , Alternate World , Character Growth , Dungeons , Game Elements , Past Naive , Protagonist , Overpowered Protagonist , Poor to Rich ,Resurrection ,Schemes And Conspiracies ,Sword And Magic ,chrysalis ,web novels ,anime manga ,ongoing ,cute animals ,so i'm a spider so what light novel ,kumo desu ga nani ka ,litrpg web novel ,gamelit web novel ,adventure webnovel ,top 10 webnovel ,free webnovel ,funny webnovel ,web novel original ,Webnovel Audiobook ,webnovel

Chapter 9 of the Gospel of Luke forms a hinge in the narrative. Up to this point, the key question has been, “Who is this Jesus?” And in Luke 9, that question begins to be answered and we see His glorious identity be revealed.   From this point on, Jesus is moving inexorably toward Jerusalem and to the crucifixion that awaits him there. So here we are, On the Road with Jesus. Up to Jerusalem, to the cross, and to glory. And He says to each one of us, “Come, follow me.” A Glorious Confession A Sobering Clarification A Dangerous Calling   A Glorious Confession Jesus is the long-awaited Davidic King   A Sobering Clarification Jesus' path to the crown runs through the cross The Royal Road passes through suffering on the way to glory. Jesus is the One who shall wear the crown because He is the One who bore the cross.   A Dangerous Calling Jesus bids us follow Him through suffering into glory You must learn to die to yourself, in order to truly live. There's no glory without suffering.   Takeaway: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”   I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided to follow Jesus. Though none go with me, still I will follow. The world behind me, the cross before me. I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back.

At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen. Assyria's wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts (and its reputation for unspeakable cruelty, with images of Assyrians skinning its enemies alive carved into stone on an Assyrian royal palace). But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women. Today's guest is Eckart Frahm, author of “Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World's First Empire.” Using archaeological research, along with the study of tens of thousands of cuneiform texts, researchers have been able to construct a more accurate depiction of Assyrian life, revealing the empire's enduring impact on global civilization. Frahm shows how despite its war-prone image, Assyria proved innovative in the realms of architecture, arts, technology, and diplomacy. Readers will learn about the elaborate “Royal Road” that enabled trade and communication over vast distances, how Assyrian scholars created the first universal library, and about the impact of plagues and climate change on the empire's fortunes.
