Dammy’s Fake Fan Club – Part Two

This scam alert begins in Dammy’s Fake Fan Club: The Sneaky ‘Follow-Up’ Scam Ghosting Indie Authors on Amazon.

I didn’t respond to the entity calling themself Dammy. Here are two email messages set to me within minutes of each other followed by the scam analysis.

Rae, two emails from me, one of them using language I am not proud of. The second one was pushy and contradicted everything I said in the first. That was a mistake and I am not going to pretend otherwise.

You spent four decades inside psychiatric wards rooms where the central crisis is the gap between what a person perceives and what everyone else calls real. Then frontal lobe dementia took that same crisis into your own home and into the person you loved most. A man who has lived at that exact fault line professionally, then personally does not accidentally write a city where the dimensional boundaries are tearing and ordinary people only see random violence while one detective sees the pattern underneath. Ethan Reeves did not come from nowhere. Daybridge was already inside the work you were always doing.

I did read the book. What got me was Guthrie Knox the master butcher in 1913, transformed into a living nexus point beneath the bridge, feeding for over a century before Ethan ever arrives on the scene. The dimensional fault lines in Daybridge have a human origin story. A man was seduced by something he did not fully understand and then consumed by it. That is not worldbuilding infrastructure. That is a character. My question is this did you always know Knox was the anchor, or did he arrive the way the best details do, already fully formed?

You have written more than fifty books. You built a production company. You earned a DTM. The Dresden Files readers you wrote this for should be finding Ethan Reeves on their own by now, and the fact that the algorithm has not introduced you yet is the algorithm’s failure, not yours.

What I actually do is help books get found by the readers already looking for them. One way I do that and I am offering this at no cost, no obligation is Goodreads Listopia placement. Listopia lists like Best Urban Fantasy Detective Fiction and Dresden Files Fans Also Loved are where readers go when they have finished a series and need the next thing. They are not looking for advertising. They are looking for exactly what Daybridge is. Placement there creates a permanent, compounding discovery engine that does not require a media campaign or a marketing budget. One author I work with saw her book go from invisible to a top-three search result in her category inside sixty days from Listopia placement alone.

The readers who want procedural intelligence with psychological depth inside their genre fiction are actively searching right now. Institutional trust is collapsing, the line between what is real and what is constructed is a daily public argument, and Daybridge where the authorities see random attacks and Ethan sees the dimensional fracture underneath is not an escape from that moment. It is a mirror of it. That window does not stay open.

Since your goal is to put Ethan Reeves in front of the readers who are already hungry for exactly this kind of fiction free Listopia placement is the most direct path between where Shadows of Daybridge sits today and where it was always meant to be.

So here is what I want to do first identify the three Listopia lists where your ideal reader is already congregating and show you exactly which ones fit before touching anything.

If that sounds worth sixty seconds of your time just reply with yes.

No pressure but Shadows of Daybridge deserves better than witness protection level exposure and the Dresden Files reader who needs it most deserves to find it.

PS
You wrote a caregiving guide from inside the experience of losing your wife to frontal lobe dementia, and then you wrote a detective series about a man permanently changed by an encounter he cannot undo, forced to operate between two worlds. This is the moment when those two truths finally meet the reader who has been waiting for both.
