Reviews
Hi everyone, sorry I have not posted here in awhile. Been working on Shades of Darkness, so I've been busy.
I would like to thank everyone here who has posted ratings and reviews. I appreciate it greatly and I just wanted to let you all know that I am grateful for your readership.
I would ask everyone who is here and reading this however, that if you have not put your review on Amazon or what ever sight you bought my books from, if you get the chance would you please add your review there as well.
I appreciate it if you did.
Thank you
Martin

Sale
For the record it's now official, Shades is 0.99. I'm really surprised how quickly Amazon and B&N changed my prices. I seem to remember at least Amazon taking several days before to do it.
Shades of Twilight sale
For those who have been waiting to pick up Shades of Twilight, now might be the time to grab it. I just changed the price for the ebook on Amazon and Barnes & Noble to 0.99. It may take a day for Amazon to update the price, so keep your eyes pealed. If not later today, then I would expect it to change tomorrow then.
why is it going on sale? In anticipation for it's sequel...Shades of Darkness. Anyways I hope you enjoy it.

Just an update
Well, with the tour now over it's time to start writing again. I always find it so difficult to just find the time to write and to blog. Not to mention Facebook. It seems just so redundant to post the same stuff over and over, but in a different site. Hm... Oh, and let's not start with Twitter and my blog at Goodreads. Egads, it's just too much! =( I'll live, I'm sure, anyways I've been reading other Indy authors' blogs to just get a feel of what the heck are they writing about. I mean I don't know about you, but I would get bored if all the posts were nothing but ads for my books, which unfortunately that's just what they seem to be becoming. So, what to write, that's interesting and not boring?
Well, from that comes a big blank. One thing I did notice is that a lot of authors seem to use their blogs like an extended Twitter. Rather than just a small comment, they actually talk more in depth about whats going on with them and their projects. So with that in mind I figured I'd make this little post to try and warm up to blogging.
I'm currently working on the sequel to Shades of Twilight. It's current name (which will be subject to change if all of a sudden I don't like it =P) is Shades of Darkness. I'm currently elbow deep trying to get the next installment fit for consumption. The biggest trouble for me is Melissa. I'm torn by the sheer dislike of her by a lot of readers. I know she whines a bit, but the reality is that the poor girl has lived a sheltered life. She really has no real experience with any adversities in her life. She's had a wonderful Plesantville type of life, and for the first time she's finding that the world isn't all peaches and cream.
My original plan was and still remains, to watch her develop and grow as a person. I'm taking this series as a whole from start to finish rather than just as separate books with a similar story. If that makes sense. Anyway, I just wanted to update you all. So I guess I need to stop here and get to writing. After all, it's not going to write itself. Anyway, take care everyone.

Well I thought about it, and thought about it. Today I decided to put Fallen Blood on sale for Christmas. I just updated the prices on Amazon Kindle, and Pub-it for the Nook.
I'm not sure how long it takes to officially change the price, but it should be done hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
So if you have been waiting to pick up Fallen Blood, now's your chance.
