Pen Name Issue: Seraphine Vale and Amazon

I'm having issues with someone else who publishes works under the name Seraphine Vale on Amazon. That person is not me. I don't want to redesign ebook covers and make these edits in my drafts just to change my pen name. That's tedious enough--I don't have an editor to help me out with these things, so what I'm going to do with it is this:

I will no longer publish my work under that name on Amazon, because it makes it very difficult to find there with the other author under that name. Since I love both of my pen names, I'm not going to give up on them. Seraphine Vale's work will be available on online retailers but not Amazon. This will not hurt me because I don't sell as much on Amazon as I do on Hoopla, for example.

In hindsight, I should've done some research for the availability of the name. (I'm very sorry to inconvenience my Amazon readers.)

My next book will be available on February 1st, 2026--which is my birthday. It will be under the Seraphine Vale name. More info will come soon.

Thank you so much for your support!

I need to take a breather and reevaluate my goals as a writer/creator. I have published 27 short stories across both of my pen names Seraphine Vale and Rin Nocturne. That’s a lot. I know my works are shorter, but that’s to be expected since I write how I talk for the most part. This self-publishing journey is nothing new to me. I originally started writing online when I was 16 years old. There was a website called FictionPress.com. It still exists, but it’s nowhere near where it once was, for obvious reasons. I don’t remember how I came across it, though. On that site, people could submit—chapter by chapter—original fiction and you would get reviews from members of the FictionPress. It was a fun way to make friends, share interests and inspiration, and get feedback. I started self-publishing when word about Amanda Hocking’s success caught my eye. I loved the idea of seeing my work on Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s websites without a middleman or the wait and jumped on that imm...

TRAILER LAUNCH: Endsong of Dragons is Almost Here

Readers, stars, and stormchasers… Today, I release the official trailer for Endsong of Dragons , the fourth and final book in my Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart series. It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of—and dreaded—for years. Because this is more than an ending. It’s a reckoning. It’s a goodbye to a girl who became a legend. It’s a love letter to every reader who dared to believe a broken world could still be beautiful. 💔🔥❄ “She didn’t just survive the frost. She became the echo it left behind.” This is Mira Grayson’s final song —a story of power, reflection, and a woman who never asked to be chosen, but chose herself anyway. “I’m not yours,” she whispered to the storm. “I never was.” Thank you to everyone who’s walked this path with me, especially those who’ve carried Mira through every transformation, fracture, and firelight flicker. Your encouragement has meant everything. I wrote this series for the misfits, the quiet ones, the fierce-hearted. I wrote it for you . A...

✍🏾One Year Author Anniversary 📚

I missed this post by a day, but yeah. The 25th marked one year since I made the decision to return to independent publishing. I am not new to online publishing, far from it. I've been published on and off since 2004--I was a baby author in training then--from fanfiction to poetry,--I wrote and love it all. I actually discuss my first journey in this post here. What does my writing routine actually like? When I write, I make sure to have three things on me at all times (if not all three, then at least one) My phone (The Notes feature is handy) A notebook and pen/pencil My Ipad I write in the mornings and late into the night---whenever and wherever I can. There's no true routine to it. How do you handle burnout, writer’s block, or “this is trash” days? I'm learning to preserve ideas that don't work, characters who don't sing to my tune, and scenes that have no place. I collect them in a notebook for later projects. They will bear ...
