Promo swapping - indy authors helping each other
It's funny i've never really got along well with other writers. I've been to a few meet up groups for this kind of thing when starting out and honestly i fucking hate people giving me opinions on my work, who haven't actually bought it. I never really though i'd get to the point where i would have mates who we're also doing what i'm doing. People who know what i am sayiung when i'm discussing if ingram or KDP is better.
So my friend Caz has brought out a great book called ''Creeping Shadow' and it's been awesome for me because she has done it though KDP, done her free days and done her print book through create space. Where as i use Ingram mostly and KDP only for the first book, so i can do free days when the second book is out.
So i was thinking of how my first book got around 4k downloads and a lot of my readers would like her stuff too, I could blog about her book but no one reads my blog, but 4,000 people did read my book. So i've re-released my book and now on the very back page it has a promo for hers, and another guy i like called Micheal DeAngelo. It's a test. I want to see if indy authors could put in promos of others work and do a kind of swap and thus get more sales. If it works i'll let you know. Also make sure if you want to do this, you get an Amazon Affilates account, so you get 8% on any sale you refer to them! helping has perks!
If you're a writer in a similar dark vein as me and want to do a possible promo swap, get in touch, my second book comes out in a few days.

Take the Body and Give me the Rest: Book 1
Seth stood and watched the nightmare creature as it tore its past master into bloody shreds and tried not to let the gripping fear show on his face. He could feel the man's life force, his memories, his talents and hard won skills filling his own mind and body, turning him into something much more than the lowly soldier he'd been just mere moments before.
Take the Darkeness and Give us the Light : Book 2 A sound fills the Wolverns ears, familiar, yet one that never should not exist in this place of endless night and cold. The sound, the boys heartbeat, rang out loudly like a dinner bell calling all of the hungry creatures of this place to the feast. It had finally found one it could work with, one that had enough enemies to keep it satisfied, but now he was on the wrong side of things and in danger of being taken away. The Wolvern began to run towards the sound, it knew there were much worse and older things than the dead here, things even it avoided, they too would be waking from long sleep and starting the hunt. It just hoped Seth could stay alive until it arrived.

Book Launch: Melbourne: Take the Body and Give Me the Rest
So i quit my job and today is the first day of freedom and i get my book delivery! such good timing. Now i have fifty copies of my book and i think my mum will probably only buy around five, hence a book launch. If you live in Melbourne and want to have a drink with me to celebrate feel free to come on down.
It will be a low key event because it's a school night, but FAD is an awesome place to have a few quit ones anyway and i won't ramble on too much! cheers.

audio books
So a guy emails me and says you should do audio books. Quick check, apparently they are great and everyone loves them. One visit to Allens music and a mic later and i'm starting to do it. Anyone listen to audio books? i think its sounding ok but i want a few weeks to practice and then some people who actually listen to them to give some opinions. cheers

Second and third books
So I've been wondering what to do and thought I would just ask people. With this series I have indeed. Already written the second and third part. Number two is very close to perfect I'm just taking a lot more time in getting a million people to proof read it so I can avoid past mistakes. The thing I want to know, as a new writer is it better just get all three up as fast as I possibly can, or is it better to delay for say six months between each one and do proper launches and all that stuff? Thoughts?
