Smashwords Affiliate Marketers Get 50% Commission on my new release Werelord Thal: A Renaissance Werewolf Tale

When I published my newest novel the historical paranormal fantasy Werelord Thal: A Renaissance Werewolf Tale I decided to bump up or "juice" its affiliate commission at Smashwords to 50 percent.

Granted, it's just a $3.99 ebook, but it is a digital item that can be sold and delivered around the world. Any sale of this ebook achieved through an affiliate's link will earn the affiliate approximately $1.79. The 50 percent commission is figured after the payment processing fee of $0.40 is deducted from the price.

Affiliate marketers interested in diversifying their product lines, especially with a product with international availability, can learn about the Smashwords affiliate program here. Smashwords has hundreds of thousands of ebooks in all categories, fiction and nonfiction.

People signed up with Smashwords affiliates can grab their affiliate code from the bottom of the Werelord Thal: A Renaissance Werewolf Tale listing on Smashwords.

Look for the affiliate percentage and link at the bottom of the listing page. This example shows my affiliate ID, but when you visit the page it will show your ID after you sign up.
Product Information Available for Affiliate Marketers

Additionally, affiliates wishing to add this ebook product to their selections can get supplemental promotional materials from the Werelord Thal press kit. You can also get an easily shareable 4-chapter preview of the novel at SlideShare.

Smashwords Authors can be affiliates too.

If you're already an author earning quarterly payments from Smashwords, affiliate earnings no matter how small will accrue in your account. So even if you don't expect to make heaps of cash from ebook affiliate commissions, every little bit will still add up and be sent to you along with your author royalties. Because many authors often support other authors on their blogs, we're a natural fit for this affiliate program. Just be aware that you can't earn affiliate fees on your own books.

As an author myself I use my affiliate id whenever I link to something at Smashwords. Every extra sale is welcome money and I get to help sell an ebook for someone else.

I'm offering the juiced 50 percent commission on Werelord Thal as an experiment. If I detect any resulting sales from the boosted commission, I might juice more of my novels.

I've Got the Breaking Bad Bug

I know I'm probably the last person to watch this popular television series. I've heard about it for years, but cancer and crystal meth are pretty grim subjects, so I steered clear.

What finally made me take a look was Bryan Cranston. I enjoy him immensely as the Dad in Malcolm in the Middle. And because I consider comedic talent to be the highest form of acting, I figured he would be quite good in a serious show too.

I'm 5 episodes into Breaking Bad. Five episodes in 5 days is about as close as I get to binge watching. I don't have time to sit and watch 6 hours or more of TV in a day. But if anything could tempt me to binge watch it's Breaking Bad. It's just so powerfully written. The dialogue rings true to life. The social commentary is deep in so many categories. The situations are an artful blend of tragedy and comedy. Walter White's cold calculations alongside his loving heart are like a complex gourmet sauce.

And Skyler White has really captured my heart. How can I not empathize with a fiction-writing woman selling online? It's the pity and disappointment displayed by Skyler's sister that touches my heart. I can relate to family members thinking of one as a silly dreamer wasting her life.

And I officially want a talking pillow.

I'm looking forward to watching more of this show. Although Breaking Bad is not exactly doing for Albuquerque what Portlandia is doing for Portland, it is brilliantly written.

2014 Wizard World Cons Have Exclusive Variant Marvel Comic Covers for VIPs

I've started following news about comic cons so I can learn more about the scene. In October I attended a regional convention the Grand Rapids Comic Con and really enjoyed the experience. A comic con is a fun venue to work in and it was a good audience for marketing my fantasy fiction.

Wizard World Inc. that operates many major events around North America recently announced a deal with Marvel Comics to offer VIP attendees exclusive access to comics with special cover art at its 16 conventions in 2014 attendees.

Better Late Than Never - Giving iBooks as Gifts Now Possible

I wish I had noticed this bit of news before Christmas so I could have mentioned it to last minute gift shoppers, but I just saw it today. There's always next holiday season and all those birthdays until then to give ibooks as gifts. I think ebook gifts provide an affordable way to give digital gifts, especially when you don't have time or inclination to ship a book.

Third Novel of Unlife Legend Series to be Free on Kindle Week of Christmas

I just found this news release about emerging fantasy author Jason J. Bilicic. His fantasy series that comments "on mankind's vanity and the impact of misused power in religion" sounds like my kind of fiction. I'm inspired by similar themes in my writing because the power religion can exert on societies always boggles my mind. The third novel in the Unlife Legend series The Visions of Men will be free on Kindle on Christmas day through December 29th.

New Release for Kindle Azrael's Wrath by Joseph Lewis

As an author I have many contacts among indie authors. This week I received an email from Joseph Lewis announcing the release of his Azrael's Wrath: Book 2 of the Tales of the Magi. He's got some fantastic artwork and great story concepts. Take a look and see if you want to read his work.


At the age of seventeen, the brilliant young seer Iyasu was sent to the west to help a mighty kingdom prosper in peace. But instead, he has brought them to the brink of war. Devastated by his own failures, and haunted by the bloody nightmares he unwittingly unleashed, Iyasu escapes to the jungle in search of the angel Raziel and the help of the magi clerics.

Now he must return to the kingdom he destroyed, accompanied by a healer, a falconer, and three mysterious djinn to confront a blood-thirsty warlord and his legions. But he no longer trusts his own visions, two of the djinn hide terrible secrets, and the Angel of Death herself now stalks the land to punish the wicked for all the death and suffering she has seen in the world. Available now on Amazon Kindle. And if you email me a promise to post a review on Amazon as soon as possible, I will send you the book for free this week.

Thanks!

Joseph Robert Lewis

Nook Reader Appreciation Barnes & Noble Gift Card Giveaway Drawing

To show my appreciation for the thousands of people who have supported me and my novels at the Barnes & Noble Nook book store I'm running a giveaway drawing for a $15 gift card. 

The winner will be able to spend the gift card at Barnes & Noble stores or online at Barnesandnoble.com. I know these little gift cards are popular. I've seen them get stolen at white elephant gift exchanges as frequently as bottles of wine.

My fantasy novels have been in the Nook store since 2010, and I've enjoyed consistent sales across all of my titles there. Nook readers are paying my property taxes and homeowners insurance, and I am saying THANK YOU with this humble gift card giveaway.

To enter, please use the link to join my email list:
Enter Gift Card Drawing
You can always unsubscribe later, but please wait until I send you an email at the end of the drawing. If you unsubscribe immediately instead of confirming that you wanted to join the list, then you won't be among the entrants when I draw the winner. Giveaway is taking entries through December 31st. I'll pick the winner on New Year's Day and email that person an egift card for $15. Drawing is open to U.S. based Nook users. I could not determine if the egift card will work in the Nook store in the UK. Sorry. I love my UK readers too, but I don't make the rules. If anyone knows if a Barnes & Noble egift card will work in the UK store, let me know. I could not find anything in the terms and conditions that said one way or the other. 
My audience of Nook readers is important to me. I'm continually grateful for the steady sales that come along month after month. This is how I make my living. I pour my heart into my novels and some people enjoy my artistic endeavors.


Please peruse my list of Nook books to see what I have for you. I've been writing since 1997 and I have 9 novels and 3 nonfiction works published.

Nonfiction My Grandma's Vintage Recipes: Old Standards for a New AgeIn 2012 I discovered a handwritten cookbook that my Grandma started writing in 1926. I've salvaged 64 vintage recipes for cookies, quick breads, cakes, fruitcakes, main dishes, and canning recipes. This was a memorial project I did for my late grandmother.
      The Home Canning Guide for Everyone Who Eats 
I like to grow and preserve food. Over the years I've taught myself home canning. This is my short how to guide with tips I've learned along the way plus a few recipes.

Preserve the bounty of your garden, support local growers, claim control over ingredients, increase your food security, and enjoy great tasting foods better than anything from a factory.
