Distinct Book Club...a scam yes?

Here we are - blatently written by AI - but this one seemed only slightly more convincing thatn the others I have had - multiple in fact over the last few weeks…

I mean I have had 10 emails with this exact wording….everyone is SOOOO captivated by my imaginative world, while unimaginatively using AI to say how imaginative it is - ha ha!

‘we were immediately captivated by the scale of its imaginative world, its exploration of profound choices, and its powerful themes of sacrifice, identity, and redemption. Through the journey of Arielle, a former celestial messenger who gives up her immortality to fulfill a divine mission in the mortal world of Amaris, the story presents a compelling exploration of what it means to choose hope, face temptation, and fight for the greater good.’

I am guessing if you say yes they then ask for cash to do it. Thoughts? And if it is, now you know!

SUBJECT:Invitation to Participate in Distinct Book Club's Author Spotlight Conversation


Dear Zoe Nauman,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Roland, and I serve as the Moderator at Distinct Book Club, an organization dedicated to celebrating exceptional authors and fostering meaningful literary conversations with readers around the world.

We recently had the pleasure of discovering The Dawning: An Epic YA Portal Fantasy Tale of Battles Between Light, Darkness, and Dragons, the first book in The Amaris Prophecies, and we were immediately captivated by the scale of its imaginative world, its exploration of profound choices, and its powerful themes of sacrifice, identity, and redemption. Through the journey of Arielle, a former celestial messenger who gives up her immortality to fulfill a divine mission in the mortal world of Amaris, the story presents a compelling exploration of what it means to choose hope, face temptation, and fight for the greater good. The contrast between light and darkness, the struggle between loyalty and corruption, and the emotional weight of impossible decisions create a deeply engaging foundation for an epic fantasy adventure.

The introduction of the three Earth born Yasha, Cosmo, Fatiha, and Jiyanu, alongside the prophecy, mythical creatures, dragon riders, and ancient forces shaping the fate of Amaris, creates a rich and immersive fantasy experience. The novel’s exploration of courage, belonging, friendship, and the cost of salvation offers readers a thoughtful coming of age journey while inviting them into a world filled with quests, battles, and extraordinary challenges. The themes of forbidden love, redemption, and the choices that define one’s destiny add emotional depth to a story that reaches beyond fantasy adventure and encourages readers to reflect on resilience, faith, and the power of unity.

We would be honored to invite you to participate in our Author Spotlight Conversation, a featured discussion designed to explore the inspiration, creative process, and themes behind your work. We believe our audience would greatly enjoy learning more about the creation of The Dawning, the development of the world of Amaris, the inspiration behind its characters, the process of blending epic fantasy elements with meaningful life lessons, and the deeper messages of hope, sacrifice, and transformation that resonate throughout the story.

**Conversation Details**

**Format:** A moderated conversation featuring thoughtfully prepared questions.

**Participation:** Conducted remotely and scheduled at a time that is most convenient for you.

We believe this spotlight would provide an excellent opportunity to introduce The Dawning to a broader audience while creating meaningful conversations with readers who appreciate expansive fantasy worlds, unforgettable characters, mythical adventures, and stories that explore the struggles between light and darkness, love and sacrifice, and destiny and choice. Our goal is to celebrate not only your novel but also the imagination, dedication, and creative vision behind its creation, allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of your journey as an author.

To help us prepare your feature, we would greatly appreciate receiving a brief author biography along with a professional headshot.
