Kindle Unlimited, Pricing Changes, Book Revisions, Etc…

Books and a coffee cup on a windowsill

I spent the better part of yesterday morning changing prices, delisting books at distributors, and making lists of things I want to do with the next few months.

I am putting the majority of my self-published books in Kindle Unlimited for 3 months. You may wonder why and you may not. But the simple fact is that my books aren’t selling anywhere. Not really even at Amazon. It’s worth a try in Kindle Unlimited, but I understand I may make less. Honestly, though, for the last 3 months at other bo...

10K Weekends For Writers – Week Whatever

10K WEEKENDS-2-532

it’s totally time to get back on this train!

Summer saps all my energy and strength and ability to think. It’s the worst time of my year and depression hits me hard, no matter how I try to force myself out of it, I just sink deep into the darkness until late-July. Once August comes around, I’m moving again,forward, rather than downward, and I’m filled with determination and motivation and I’m ready to go! So, that’s what I’m going to do!

If you’d like to join in, I’d love to have you along....

The Last 10 Books I One-Clicked Are…

Welcome to Wordy Wednesday!

It’s been a while. I’ve revamped things. Not in the look of the site, but I’m working on what content I want on the blog. I’m not even sure anyone still visits the blog (this is where I should go check Google Analytics, but, nah. Not right now.). Maybe though with this new fangled schedule/plan/not by the seat of my pants this time thing in place, I’ll be able to build up the following again. More on the plan, later.

Today I want to talk about reading. More specifi...

Tempting You On Tuesday – Wind & Fire by T.J. Michaels

Wind&Fire1

Buy Now!

T.J. Michaels is an awesome lady. She’s a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary and paranormal interracial romance. If you haven’t read one of her books, you’re truly missing out. Her voice is real, her descriptions beautiful, her books worth it.

Her latest release, Wind & Fire, Volume 1, is a unique and epic post-apocalyptic romance. With her permission, I’ve added an excerpt below…

Damned woman. He couldn’t believe how badly this was going. But this was,...

Music Monday – Uncharted

I chose this song and well, it’s a bit on the ironic side because I’m doing something new starting this month which is planning…charting… measuring… But this is one of my very favorite songs and the message in it, is exactly what I feel…

Music Monday – What Happens Tomorrow

With everything going on, the one thing that always holds true is that we don’t know. Life changes on a dime now. In the space of a heartbeat both good and bad can happen. We just simply don’t know, but we have to keep pressing on and pushing toward tomorrow…

This Is My Brain Trying To Connect The Dots…

So, I just had a new release (and yes I did sneak that buy button in there). It’s getting some great reviews and I’ve received some interesting, supportive, and bordering on obsessive emails and messages regarding the series. I love that people enjoy it, especially since I’m so far out of my element with what’s contained in the rest of this post.

The following image is one of my whiteboards. It has arrows and colors and a very, very, very loose idea of how I’ll be connecting several shifter...

New Release – Bearing The Ink

a little different from other shifter books…” Oh My God, y’all… I LOVE that! One of the reviews says it. And yes, it IS a little different.

BearingTheInkUSAKW300 kindle_buylink

Bryson City, North Carolina. It was her home. It was her childhood. Now it’s the key to a horrible reality.

Poachers. Unscrupulous hunters who take the lives of full blood animals and shifters alike. Sport for most. Revenge for one.

Confronted by a man she believed to be dead, Bex, along with her newfound family, and Gus by her side, face down a stunn...
