Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

The Internet is an interesting place, but not so confidential and safe. Many people here come to satisfy their own interests, and needs, and to take advantage of someone. Every woman gets a tone of friend's requests, it doesn't matter how old is she, is pretty or popular. So, if men are chasing you on the internet, don't be pretentious and don't feel special. Trolls don't have a big standard. They chase all women and pick those who are naive. How do you know your virtual friend is a troll? I will help you with a few tips, based on my experience. Look at his profile and his behavior in the first days since you added him. Then, answer these questions: Does he like your every post? Does he contact you privately? He sent you messages even though you ignored him? He talks to you in public and asks you to reply to him after you ignored him privately? He sent naked women and filthy photos in your inbox? He asks you for money? If you answered YES on this question, you have ...

I f you are an indie author, you will get offers for paid reviews, sooner or later. Someone of money hunters will approach you through your inbox or in groups, offering their reviews for your books, in exchange for "small fees." Indie authors are struggling with book sales, but some reviewers are like vultures, trying to get money from authors because we need reviews as a marketing tool for our books. Some reviewers will ask 10 dollars for one review, some even more. I advise you: don't buy it. Don't accept it. Why? Paid reviews are not objective . Someone will praise your book, and you paid for it. Do you remember when you go shopping and a saleswoman praises you for how you look good in a new dress? She does it because she wants to sell a dress. So, if you paid for a review, it will be praised, because you give money. You will get 5 stars, and a person even did not read a book. Amazon will punish you . If they discover you paid for reviews, you are breaking their ru...

My book "Husband For Rent" is in pre-order and it will release on 18 October. This is my book number 10 on Amazon. I am a Croatian multi-genre author. I  started with a blog and self-help books. Then I turned to romance stories with a reality check. This year I changed the direction. My role model is Agatha Christie, so I wanted to give a chance myself to write thrillers. "The Player Without Luck" is already available and got 18 USA reviews on Amazon. Husband For Rent is thriller suspense. If you love fast action, provocative dialogues, intrigue, sarcastic humor, and unpredictable events, this is a book for you. A short blurb: Viktorija is a psychologist. She is working in an office sponsored by Government and helps migrants with asylum applications. Her ex-husband Boris tries to maintain their connection after the divorce, and she wishes to be rid of him. While on her lunch break, Viktorija meets Jamal, a waiter who is a migrant from Algeria and befriends him. Jama...

When I started to write, I met many interesting people who are reading and writing. I got some advice, various kinds. Some advice was useless and ego-bursting, and some were good for my progress. I also realized that is a dangerous world of competition and some people are like vultures, ready to remove you from their path or to ask for money to fill their pockets. So, what kind of indie authors you might face? Smartass. The one who offers you editing for a suitable fee even though you did not ask for it. Also, he will lecture you on how you must work on your books and read other writers.  The snitch . He will report you if you have bad formatting, a title that is provoking, or content that damaged his moral standards. For example, my title "Seduce her with a fist" is a metaphor title, a book is against violence, this is an example story. But, the indie author reported it as violent and abusive. Luckily, social media did not pay attention to it. The beggar. That is the kind o...
