Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd pop in on my journal and give an update.
As you can see, (my avatar) the cover is out for my next release, No Cords Attached. It'll be released on Dec 19th. I've really done no promo (more on that later) for it other than a Tweet, FB post and post here on the announcements board. I decided to put this one for sale at Amazon, Kobo, B&N, iBooks & ARe. I will not use KDP select again
I will be selling it for $1.99 keeping it the same price as my other novellas even though it's a little shorter word count than the rest.
I made a decision about something that I had been going back and forth with for quite sometime. I set Give Me Forever (the 1st book in my paranormal series) to Free everywhere. I'm waiting for Amazon to price match, but it's free already at iBooks, Kobo, Scribd, Page Foundry and I'm still waiting on B&N. I used D2D for everything but Kobo & Amazon obviously. I was hesitant to do this because this is my only novel, (the rest are novellas & a couple of shorts/novelettes) my highest priced book and my baby
BUT, I do think I made the right choice. The hope is that because the 1st book is free, people will love it and want to continue with the series, and maybe give some reviews too! I also set my book Give Me What I Need (book 2.5 in the series) free as well. It's a short story and really a sister book to the 2nd book and I thought it would be nice to offer that one free for those who are enjoying the series. This all just happened today, and I've already had quite a few downloads on ARe.
This series isn't selling well so hopefully this will give it a boost!
Intimate Desires is still my best seller.
I've had new business cards made & magnets too which turned out really nice! I put a QR code on the back of my business cards that leads to my website. I love it & Vista Print did a great job with them.
I still plan to release 3 books next year. One is actually not too far from completion. The other two are started already.
Rediscovered Love is suppose to be a group read for a new adult book club on Goodreads in Jan and I'm really excited & anxious for that to happen. I really hope they like it. I also hope some will seek out my other titles which brings me to the subject of promo...
It is my goal to start promoting my books more. I've been wanting to do this, have tried before (but life kept getting in the way) but this time, I'm going to make it a priority. I've got a list of places to do free ads, a list of blogs with FB pages to do promos and I'm hoping my free books will gain me more readers.
I have a couple of Arcs out of No Cords attached and a few review copies of Intimate Desires out now. I'm hopeful they will be favorable reviews.
I'm trying really hard to get more reviews because I would really like to purchase a BookBub ad. Maybe someday... lol
I guess that's all for now! Thanks to all who are still following me on this crazy journey!!!
