This year I celebrated 8-years of self-publishing. And eight years later, I still feel I could do a better job recommending books to readers who are new to my work.
My book world is diverse. Most of my books aren’t like the ones before it in my catalog. And while there may be similarities in my stories, if you are looking to read a book exactly like a book you’ve already read in my catalog, it won’t be an easy find unless it’s in a series or shares a similar trope.
That’s because my vision for my catalog is to create a book world like the melting pot I call home. Filled with a variety of characters with varying personalities, from different upbringings, and having experiences both good and bad that differ across the board. But regardless of how different they all may be to each other; the characters will all connect in some way. The unspoken idea in my storylines is based on the idea of six degrees of separation. Meaning, all my characters connect to each other by six or fewer other characters in my book world.
Like life.
While my first response whenever I get the question, “I’m new to your work. What book do you recommend I start with?” is for readers to read my books in the order I have released the stories, often that isn’t necessary.
The guide I’ve created below will allow you to read my stories based on your reading preferences. And unless the stories are books in a series, or have spoilers related to another book (which I’ve done my best to note), you are free to read my stories in whatever order you choose.
I created a similar guide last year, but this one is more in-depth and takes in account your reading preferences.
I hope this is helpful!
*I will update this page as new stories are added to my catalog.
📌 There is a holiday spinoff to this series! The eBook box set is available exclusively on ByBK.
