A small press. Finished books.
Leonel Richard spent years caught in a cycle of constant scrolling and burnout. After his own dopamine reset, he started writing the dark romantasy he wanted to read — and the bedtime stories he wanted to hear. Inkbound is the press. Tampa is the desk. Twenty-five finished titles live here.
Direct from the desk
No algorithm deciding whether your next chapter exists. Twenty-five ebooks ship from the author in Tampa — independently published, sold here first.
A press with a range
Dark romantasy for the night. Literary fiction and thrillers for the long sit. A seven-day reset for the mind. Picture books for the people you read aloud to.
Built to be finished
These are complete books, not fragments. Novels with last pages. Children's titles that end. A reset that is seven days, not a lifestyle brand.

What the week actually feels like.
Composite notes drawn from common patterns readers report after The 7-Day Dopamine Reset — not celebrity endorsements.
I used to spend four to five hours a day on my phone. After the 7-Day Reset, I got more done in one week than I had in the entire previous month. My focus came back, and I actually enjoy doing things again.

34 · reader note · The 7-Day Dopamine Reset
Day 3 was pure torment. I felt restless and angry. But by Day 7, I felt a calm I hadn't felt in years. I can sit still now without reaching for my phone.

I have not cried like this over a book in years.
Reader note

Close this book. Set your phone down. Look up. This moment, right now, is what you got back.
