BOOKBUB INTERNATIONAL RESULTS

In my last blog I mentioned how excited I was to have been picked for an International Bookbub Deal for my novel, I Wish I Could Remember You. Well that deal has come and gone and if anyone is curious at what a Bookbub ad can do for you my results are below.
 
Amazon the international sites I roughly had around 162 downloads.
Apple Books the international sites had 151 downloads.
Kobo international sites had 144 downloads.
 
Since my promotion ended, I have seen a small uptake in eBook sales.
Was it worth it?  I would answer yes!  I made back the cost I spent for the promotion and maybe a few pennies more.  Lol   I would say it was good exposure for the book and gained a few more reviews—actually it gained me way more reviews, since I didn’t have many reviews on Apple or Kobo to start with…especially the international sites.
 
All in all, I will keep trying for another Bookbub deal.  I was happy with the results.  Hopefully if you try…you will be too.

BookBub International Deal

I’m happy to announce my novel, I Wish I Could Remember You has been selected for a BookBub Featured Deal.  I was only accepted for a BookBub International deal but I can live with that for now.  Lol   I Wish I Could Remember You, will be $0.99 cents on Friday July 19, 2019 until Sunday July 28, 2019 in Australia, India, Canada, and United Kingdom.
Even though I wasn’t accepted for a US Featured Deal, I decided to make, I Wish I Could Remember You $0.99 cents in the US at Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well.
If you like sweet contemporary romance pick up a copy.  If you do, I hope you enjoy it!
As far as BookBub International goes I’ll let you know the results after the deal is over.  I’m happy to help others see what a featured deal can do for their Amazon stats as well as Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Apple Books.
I’m eager to see what all the excitement over BookBub is all about.  I will also keep trying to get a US featured deal which I understand is much harder to get. I’ve read articles and blogs from authors who apply to BookBub once every month.  Maybe I’ll have to start doing that as well.

THE RIGHT BOOK AT THE RIGHT TIME

​Sometimes I go to read a certain novel and for some reason I just can’t get into it.  I find myself putting the book back on my to be read list. I decide to save the book for another day.  Months later when I pick the book up again, I find myself really enjoying it. 
I feel like you have to be in a certain mood to read certain books.  I try not to give up on a book until I’ve tried a second time to read it.  Has that ever happened to you?  Do you have to be in a certain mind frame to read certain books?

READING

​I’ve been busy writing, and now promoting the second and third novels in my Extinction series.  Sad to say, there has been little or no time left for reading other novels.  I miss reading.  I miss going into another world that’s not my own.  I miss the feeling I would get when I couldn’t wait to turn the page and see what happens next.  I miss staying up all night to finish the chapter I am on. I have a list of novels I would like to read. I hope to get back to reading one day soon.  Maybe I should learn to manage my time better.  How do you find the time to read a novel when you’re writing one?

TWO NEW BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED IN THE EXTINCTION SERIES

I can't believe it's been over a year since my last blog post.  I’ve been so busy working on the Extinction series. Time goes by so fast, but I’m pleased to say that I have finally finished. I enjoyed working on the series even though it was a lot of hard work.  The next two novels in the series were released this week.  Journey to Territory M and Journey to Territory U are now available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and Smashwords.  I hope everyone enjoys reading them.

A KIND WORD OR GESTURE

It's funny what a kind word or gesture can do.   A friend calling you awesome when your feeling down can put a smile on your face.  Someone holding a door for you instead of slamming it in your face can make a difference.  Someone contacting you to say they really enjoyed the novel you wrote can brighten your day, week and month.  Someone saying please and thank you goes a long way.
