Huh — 'Incesss' is a tricky one to pin down from just that title, and I’ve run into this kind of mystery more times than I can count while hunting for weird, out-of-print, or self-published books. From the way you typed it, my first thought is that it might be a misspelling, a transliteration from another language, or a tiny indie/web novel that doesn’t show up in major catalogs. I’m a book-nerd who spends too much time trawling Goodreads, WorldCat, and r/tipofmytongue, so here’s how I’d go about finding the author — and why you might not see a clear name right away.
If the title really is 'Incesss' (three s’s), try these quick checks: look at the cover for any visible author name, open the ebook file and inspect the metadata (right-click the EPUB or check Kindle’s book info), or search for an exact phrase from the first page in quotes on Google or Google Books. I once tracked down a tiny novella that vanished from searches by pasting a single odd sentence into Google Books; it popped up in a scanned anthology. If you have even a snippet of text, that can be far more useful than the title itself. Also search sites where indie writers hang out — places like Wattpad, Royal Road, Webnovel, or even AO3 — because authors there sometimes use stylized titles or experiment with unusual spellings.
If those routes turn up nothing, broaden the search: try variations like 'Incess', 'Incessant', or 'Incesss (stylized)', and include possible languages or transliterations (for example, add 'translated' or the language you suspect). Use WorldCat and Library of Congress for formal listings, Amazon and Google Books for commercial listings, and ISBNdb if you can find a numeric identifier. Don’t forget reverse-image search (upload a cover photo) — I’ve saved myself hours by finding a tiny-press cover through Google Images and then seeing the author’s name on a bookstore page. If it’s a fanfic or a forum-posted serial, the author might go by a handle rather than a real name, which makes platform-specific searches essential.
If you want, tell me any extra detail you remember — a line, a character name, where you saw it (Reddit, an ebook store, a forum), or even what the cover looked like — and I’ll help you chase it down. Sometimes it’s a matter of finding the right search engine trick or the right community that remembers an obscure title. Either way, I love mysteries like this; tracking down a lost author feels a bit like being a literary detective, and I’m down to help you sleuth it out.
