Help with my pick of covers: Here is the back of the book summary. She wasn’t supposed to be home. Seventeen-year-old Callie Mercer stays home from school expecting a quiet day. Instead, she hears the sound no one wants to hear—a deliberate metallic click where silence should be. The security system is down. The exits are blocked. And two skilled intruders are already inside. They’ve studied the house for months. They came for her mother’s priceless necklace—a symbol of legacy and power. What they didn’t plan for was Callie. Raised by a Special Forces father who taught her balance before strength and control before emotion, Callie understands something her attackers don’t: survival isn’t about panic—it’s about decision. With police minutes away and no safe place to hide, she must outthink men who assumed the house would be empty. But the invasion is only the beginning. As hidden recordings expose a powerful political figure willing to erase his past at any cost, the real battle shifts from hallways to headlines—and from fear to consequence. This isn’t a story about revenge. It’s about standing steady when the world leans. They chose the wrong house.

I am a retired and disabled Veteran. Lately I have written a few stories that focuses on soldiers dealing with PTSD. My question is how do I promote them without missing my target audience? To be clear they are regular stories that happen to have Vets doing Vet things.

I have a lot of people who ask if my books are available to be listened to. Should I invest the time and money to make them into Audio books?

Hello, I have my book. It is ready to publish. I am working on my marketing plan. I have purchased my ISBNs. I go to get it registered on the Library of Congress. And I get to the part where it asks me to list the ISBNs for each format. However it tells me that my ISBN number format is incorrect. I have copied them directly from Bowker. But it will not accept them. I tried it repeatedly with and without dashes. It specified 13 digits. I counted the digits and it was correct. I navigated away from the page to look for a help of some sort. There is no help or tech support. And I lost all of my data. Anyone have any idea how to fill out this form correctly?
