Self-publish With Less Stress and More Ease
To my fellow authors I want to recommend four books that may transform your life! Reading them, studying them and taking their advice at heart is a must for the successful launch of your books and their fruitful life online. We have to be realistic, writing a book comes easy to the most of us. Handling our books afterward is for most of us a nightmare and enigma.
Why don't our books succeed if they are so good? Why don't readers buy them? What did we do wrong?
Please take time to check the following books. Read them at random order or by choosing your priority and urgency, but skip none of them. Each of them will be helpful to you.

Be My Early Reader!
Wanna be my early reader?
Next month I am launching my new novella Look for Me Under the Rainbow (scheduled date April 17).
Look for Me Under the Rainbow is a story of the harp seal pups Danny and Jon and the plight of seal pups in Canada hunted and clubbed for their soft fur, and the group of environmentalists and activists determined to save them. It carries a strong ecological message and is a loud call for humanity. My editor says, "Anyone not moved by it has no heart." I couldn't agree more!
I'm opening up to 50 spots for a special team of fans to be early readers.
Interested? Please subscribe at www.bernardjan.com and I'll get back to you! If you are already subscribed and on my team, please ignore this.
Thanks!
This is a short extract from my novella to get you motivated and help you make the decision to join my ranks.
***
“What is man, Mom?”
“Man’s a great mystery. We know not where he comes from, nor where he’s going. Elusive, like a shadow, he leaves wasteland in his wake.”
“This... man, is he dangerous?”
“Very dangerous, son. You must try never to meet one. If you do come across man but it’s too late to run, be brave. Wait for him. Whatever happens, never, ever turn your back on him. Look him straight in the eye. It’s the only way you might save your life. That’s the moment when he’s most vulnerable and won’t harm you.”
“But how can I not meet a man? How do I avoid him?”
“You’ll sense him coming close. You know, son, man has a special smell. The scent of fear, misfortune and pain. He feeds on it. You’ll recognize him by this scent.”

Cruel Summer eBook Launch Day on Amazon!
All I wanted to do is to publish this book. But I had other books plans before that one.
After many years of preparations, testing, trial and error, waiting and burning excitement, Cruel Summer launch day is here, and the eBook is available at Amazon marketplaces!
Cruel Summer is a gripping, unexpected, strong, and emotional YA cross-genre story about an abused teenage boy and a poet in New Manhattan, Michael Daniels, who only wants to skate and enter skateboarding contests, and the loyalty of friendship that stands as the shield between those with power and his freedom. Michael’s skateboarding friends, Alien and Victor, are his only hope when things go wrong and mysteries and secrets start to unfold, threatening to turn their society into an authoritarian dystopia. Because when there is no hope left, friendship is what remains.
All he wants to do is skate. By they have other plans for him.
Cruel Summer has elements of family and social issues, extreme sports, conspiracy, murder, mystery, teen romance as a subplot, and even sci-fi and dystopia as a touch of alternative history. It carries a strong message of friendship.
Although the main protagonists are three friends, skateboarders from New York City at the end of the millennium, Cruel Summer is not just a novel about extreme sports. It is a deep story of a family and sexual abuse, and the exploitation of power by those who have the means to use it over the individuals and the population in general. Having a strong human rights and environmental message, it will also appeal to those who love reading these books.
Originally published as Okrutno ljeto in Croatian in 2014, Cruel Summer is still a hot topic today.
