ICARUS Now Available Directly from the Author

ICARUS is a high-stakes science fiction novel about survival, rebellion, and fragile hope on the first human colonies of Mars. It follows the struggles of pioneers caught between corporate interests, geopolitical rivalries, and the unforgiving Martian environment. At its heart, ICARUS is both an intimate drama and a sweeping chronicle of humanity’s attempt to start over on the Red Planet.

Until now, the book has been available through Amazon and, most recently, Google Play Books. These platforms are great for global distribution and discovery — but they are also giant storefronts where an indie book like mine can easily get buried under thousands of new releases every day. That’s why I’m excited to share a new way to read ICARUS: directly from me, via Gumroad.

Gumroad is an independent platform designed to give creators direct control over their work. Instead of going through big retailers, Gumroad lets me sell the book straight to you. When you buy ICARUS on Gumroad, you instantly receive both the EPUB (for e-readers and apps like Google Play Books, Apple Books, or Kobo) and the PDF (print-ready, easy to read on any device). One purchase, two formats, with no restrictions.

But more importantly, Gumroad removes the middleman. Your support goes directly to me as the author, without the commissions and algorithm games of the large platforms. It also opens a direct line between us. Gumroad has a built-in community space where I can share updates, behind-the-scenes notes, extra artwork, or even ask for your feedback on future projects. It’s not just about selling a book; it’s about building a connection between writer and reader.

For readers, buying indie means joining the journey at its most authentic level. Every purchase, every page read, helps me continue writing, developing new stories, and expanding the world of ICARUS. Instead of being one name lost in a massive bookstore, here your support has a real impact — and you can see the results in the growing creative universe of The Mars Chronicles.

So if you’d like to explore the world of ICARUS while supporting independent publishing, you can now do so directly. Instant download, both formats included, and the knowledge that you’re helping fuel a truly indie sci-fi project. Mars is harsh — but with readers like you, the journey is worth it.
