When I sat down to write The Invisible People, it wasn’t just a story about suspense and science fiction—it was about the hidden patterns in life that we don’t always see. Moments when reality feels like it skips a beat, when something doesn’t quite fit, and you’re left wondering if the world just glitched.

That question—what if the people we overlook aren’t gone, but rewritten—was the spark that grew into my debut novel. It’s a story about identity, memory, and the unseen forces working at the edges of our world. Writing it taught me as much about myself as it did about the characters.

This blog will be my place to share more of those stories at the edge of reality. Expect reflections on the writing process, the real-world science and philosophy that inspire my fiction, and updates on where the series is headed next. If you’ve ever had a moment that felt like a glitch in your own life, you’ll feel right at home here.

Have you ever experienced a moment that felt like a glitch in reality? Share it in the comments—I’d love to hear your story.

Los Invisibles: Edición en español (The Invisible People — Libro 1)“They come in silence, but they return with voices not their own.”

I’m excited to share that Los Invisibles—the Spanish edition of The Invisible People—will soon be available in paperback. This release means more readers can step into the shadows of the city, where the forgotten and unseen are vanishing… only to return as something else.

For those unfamiliar, this story follows Ava Chen, a former journalist who can’t ignore the disappearances happening around her. People society has overlooked—neighbors on the edge, faces you pass every day—are quietly erased. When they come back, they’re clean, different, and chillingly unrecognizable. As Ava digs deeper, she discovers the truth: reality itself is being rewritten by forces working just beyond the edge of perception.

This paperback edition of Los Invisibles is more than just a translation. It’s an invitation for Spanish-speaking readers to join the world of The Invisible People series—a world that blends science fiction, conspiracy, and psychological suspense into one relentless question:

👉 What happens when the people society ignores stop being themselves?

Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey—from early readers to those who’ve spread the word. Your encouragement has helped bring this book to more shelves, in more hands, across languages.

The paperback will be available worldwide through Amazon and major distributors. I’ll share links as soon as they go live. Until then, remember the tagline that started it all:

“You didn’t see them before. You won’t recognize them now.”

If you’re an indie author just diving into Amazon Ads, you’ve probably done what I did at first — launch an ad, check it the next day, panic when there are no sales, and start tweaking everything.

The problem? Every time you adjust your keywords, bids, or ad copy, you reset the learning process.

What Amazon doesn’t tell you is that their algorithm needs 7–10 days of uninterrupted data before it can even begin optimizing your ads. That first week isn’t about sales — it’s about teaching the machine who your readers are.

What the “Learning Phase” Actually Means

Keywords — which searches trigger your ad
Placements — where it shows up
Audiences — who clicks and who buys

During this phase, it’s experimenting. When you touch the ad too early — changing bids or targeting — you erase its memory. It starts over like a goldfish with amnesia.

Why New Authors Waste So Much Money

Increase bids to “force” impressions
Add more keywords to “cast a wider net”
Rewrite ad copy to “grab attention”

The result? Constant resets. Your campaign never matures enough for Amazon to find your buyers. Think of it like baking bread — if you keep opening the oven, it never rises.

The Reality: Ads Need to Breathe

Which keywords bring actual buyers (not just browsers)
Where your CPC (cost per click) stabilizes
How your ACOS (ad cost of sale) begins to drop

That’s when your data becomes meaningful — and profitable decisions can finally be made.

The Three Golden Rules

Let it learn (no edits for at least 10 days).
Separate Kindle and paperback campaigns.
Duplicate to test — don’t edit a running ad.


Indie Author FAQs: The First 14 Days

How much should I spend while it learns?

Treat it like paid market research. Spend $1–$5/day per ad for 10–14 days.

$1/day = slow data. $3–$5/day = balanced. $10+/day = faster but riskier if untested. Separate Kindle and paperback campaigns.

Should I run multiple ads at once?

Not at first. Multiple ads split your data and slow learning. Start with one campaign per format, let them stabilize, then expand.

What happens if I change something mid-learning?

You reset the campaign. If you must test something, duplicate the ad and let the original run untouched.

When can I judge performance?

After 10–14 days or ~15–20 clicks per ad. That’s when CTR, CPC, and ACOS stabilize enough to make decisions.

How do I know if it’s working?

Early signals: CTR 0.3–0.5% is solid for fiction; CPC under $0.50 is healthy; sales can lag a few days after clicks.

Is there a simple budget formula?

Daily Budget = $3 × Number of Formats × 10 Days.

Example: 1 Kindle + 1 Paperback ≈ $60 total learning investment.

Mindset Shift: Data Before Dollars

Don’t treat ads as gambling; treat them as education. Your goal isn’t to win clicks — it’s to understand your readers’ behavior and learn what cover, blurb, and keywords convert browsers into buyers.

The Takeaway

Your first week isn’t wasted — it’s tuition. Your second week is data. Your third week is where profit begins. If you have the patience to let Amazon learn, you’ll outperform 90% of authors who don’t.
