About this audiobook

Eight books. One mission. The Indie Author's Bible is the complete blueprint for how the entire Scam-Proof Guardian Series was built — every tool, platform, and strategy that turned painful experience into a published mission. If you have a story to tell, this book gives you the same toolkit S. Shields used to launch eight books, an audiobook catalog, a multi-platform distribution system, a trademark-protected brand, and a Guardian Network — all without a traditional publisher. From manuscript to market in 180 days. Writing, editing, formatting, cover design, audiobook production, Amazon KDP, wide distribution, email marketing, and building a readership from zero. If S. Shields can do it, you can do it. Book Six in the Scam-Proof Guardian Series.

About the author

S. Shields

S. Shields is a U.S. Army veteran, retired cybersecurity professional with fifteen years in the field, and ACA-certified Master Caregiver. After his wife Patricia died of dementia in May 2021, Sam lost seven thousand dollars to a romance scammer — and turned that loss into the Scam-Proof Guardian Series™. Each book protects a different group scammers target hardest: seniors, caregivers, widows, travelers, and the families who love them. The mission is simple: 10,000 Guardians protecting 1 million people. Sam writes from Las Vegas. Patricia's last words built the series: "Protect them all." Not on our watch.View all by S. Shields
