Why I’m Removing My Books from Kindle Unlimited (and Where You Can Find Them Next)

October 3, 2025 by Sharayah Maurice

Friends, I have some big news to share with you. After much thought and consideration, I’ve decided to remove my books from Kindle Unlimited (KU). This wasn’t an easy choice. I know many of you love borrowing books through KU, but I want to take a moment to explain why I’m making this change, what it means for you as a reader, and what exciting things are coming next. 💖


Why I’m Leaving KU

When a book is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon requires it to be exclusive to their platform. That means I can’t offer my ebooks anywhere else, not on other retailers and not even directly to you.

Over time, I’ve realized I want more freedom to share my stories with readers everywhere, not just through one channel. By leaving KU, I’ll be able to:

  • Offer my books directly to you at a lower price 🎉
  • Make them available on multiple stores in the future (so you can choose where you prefer to shop)
  • Build a more sustainable way of continuing my writing journey

What This Means for You

✨ If you read my books through KU:
There’s still a short window of time to borrow them before they’re gone. (So if you’ve been meaning to, now’s the perfect time!)

✨ If you buy ebooks:
Good news! My books will still be available on Amazon at their regular price (Book 1 starting at $4.99).

✨ If you’d like to save a little money:
You’ll soon be able to buy my books directly from me through my shop! Book 1 will start at just $2.99 when you buy direct. This also means more of your support goes straight to me as the author.

I know this change brings up a lot of questions, so I’ve put together a quick FAQ to make sure you have all the details at a glance:


Reader FAQ

When are the books leaving KU?
My books will officially leave Kindle Unlimited on the following dates:

🩵A Bounty of Secrets and Rebellion: November 18, 2025

💚 A Battle of Past and Present: October 23, 2025

🤎 A Game of Truth and Lies: December 13, 2025

If you’d like to borrow them through KU, now’s the time!

When will I be able to buy direct?

I’ll start selling my ebooks directly from my shop page as soon as they leave Kindle Unlimited. Dates are as follows:

🩵A Bounty of Secrets and Rebellion: November 19, 2025

💚 A Battle of Past and Present: October 24, 2025

🤎 A Game of Truth and Lies: December 14, 2025

Will they still be on Amazon?
Yes! You’ll still be able to buy them on Amazon at their regular price (Book 1 starting at $4.99). They just won’t be available to borrow through KU anymore.

What if I don’t have a Kindle?
No worries! When you buy directly from me, you’ll be able to download a version that works on any device—Kindle, phone, tablet, or computer.

What about pricing?
Buying direct will actually save you money. 🎉 Book 1 will start at $2.99 in my shop, while Amazon prices will remain the same (Book 1 at $4.99).

Will your books ever be available in other stores?
That’s the plan! My long-term goal is to make my books available wherever you love to read.


Looking Ahead

This decision opens up new possibilities, and I’m so excited to share what’s next. Whether you keep reading my books on Amazon, or grab them directly from me, you’re helping make my dream possible. I’m deeply grateful for your support. It truly means the world. 💕

Thank you for being here with me on this journey. I can’t wait for what’s ahead!
