“From its dramatic opening lines and spectacular world-building depth to the visceral emotionality of the prose and Jesse's remarkable story arc, this novel exceeds every expectation for the genre.”

..“Combined with existential quandaries that we're facing in the real world, Bihagia has crafted a stunningly multifaceted first instalment, emphatically demonstrating a mastery of both sci-fi and fantasy storytelling.” — Self Publishing Review

“I had the chance to work on this fast-paced science fantasy as a proofreader, and I was mesmerised by its richly realized setting and characters. I also may or may not have threatened Sill that I need more books set in this world.” — Danai Christopoulou, Pushcart-nominated author and editor at Hugo-nominated khōréō

“Unique and haunting science fiction fantasy with incredible worldbuilding and memorable characters.” — Reedsy Discovery’s Viktorija Blazheska

Red Demon will continue to be promoted through a combination of social media, reviewer outreach, library and bookstore outreach, and live event. The print version has been out since Sept. 2025 with a growing following. It's in 52 bookstores, 42 libraries, and Sill now has hundreds of books they sign and sell out of their home office. Their next social media will feature a "box couch"!

There is an ongoing Kickstarter to fund audiobook production running through Oct 20. If you finish the book quickly and love it, please share this with your friends!

The audiobook will be promoted through my social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, and YouTube, with particular emphasis on reaching science fiction/fantasy readers and audiobook listeners. I will use NetGalley to provide review copies to reviewers, librarians, booksellers, and other book-industry professionals.

The audiobook WILL NOT be Audible-exclusive. Please request art your libraries! This goes a long way both in paying for production and ensuring I find readers.

Sill submitted the Red ebook to Kirkus. She also submitted the audiobook to Kirkus, as well as Booklist, and Library Journal. Being that  this is and an indie title, they are most likely to ignore the submission and assume it sucks without reviewing it. Then most libraries will ignore the title because it lacks a Library Journal and Booklist review... unless readers request it.

So YOU, reviewers who may enjoy this book and vouch for it, are my most important marketing plan. I paid for professional production with an award winning narrator who rocked the recording of this book. I made Brandon Francis cry, and please don't let that be for nothing. The kickstarter reached it's first funding goal in 2 hours from existing print readers, but that goal only covered 15% of the actual costs. I need the support only you reviewers can provide to be able to afford to keep writing new books.
