Price Perplexes the Publishing Poobettes

How to price our independent masterpieces? It's driving us all crazy.

I've put Space Junque on sale for 99 cents. That seems ludicrous to me -- like I'm giving it away.

On the other hand, I do like to have fun with these things. I think I had more fun though when I gave away a $100 Oberon gift certificate! As a reader, which do you prefer? Is there really that much of a differenced between 99 cents and 2.99 for a book you like?

Would you rather have a lot of cheap 99 cent reads, or novellas at 2.99 and novels at 3.99 that also come with great cover art, top notch editing, and the occasional fun contest with a great prize?

I know as the author, I like doing the contests and paying for great artwork and editing.

Anyway, Space Junque will be 99 cents until November 14 -- so grab it while you can at that price. Woohoo!

Space Junque Goes To 25-Hour Books

Tara at 25-Hour Books has given Space Junque a thoughtful and thorough review.

I certainly enjoyed reading it! Don't you love the tag line of the site?

We could all use an extra hour for reading!

She, like many, is intrigued by the ghosts. At first, they were almost throwaway characters, incidental artifacts of this world, but they definitely demand more page time. Don't worry! At least one ghost we've met by name appears in Spiderwork.

And in the Winter Extra Blankets for the Cold…

I love winter.

Here it comes.

Zombiepalooza Winners

Zombiepalooza is coming to an end, and Amanda has let me know who won copies of Space Junque!

She'll make the announcement on her blog Halloween, and I'll be sending the copies right after. Congratulations! (I know who you are...)

Space Junque at The Romance Reviews

I just read a review of Space Junque over at The Romance Reviews that put a smile on my face.

The one issue the reviewer has is that he feels Space Junque is too short -- though he notes this is a feature of novellas, ha! Now that I have some distance from the book, I wonder if I should have "made it longer."

Space Junque serves the purpose I had in mind when I wrote it, to introduce the world of the series. It never occurred to me that the characters in the novella would take on their own lives and demand a more complete telling -- what arrogance on my part!

I promise that we'll learn much more about Char and Jake and Durga -- and even Rani! -- in Spiderwork.

Space Junque on Sale for 99 cents

In the new tradition (?) of indie authors, I'm putting Space Junque on sale for 99 cents through November. I'd like to reach more readers getting ready for Spiderwork, so let's see how it goes!

The price change has not gone through at Amazon yet, but it's already effective at B&N and Smashwords.

Lynda Hilburn Wants To Give You A Kindle!

Thus begins a post at Paranormalcy:

Halloween/Samhain is my favorite holiday, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have some fun with it. How better to celebrate this spooky time of year than by giving away another of my favorite things: a Kindle!

What a fun contest she's come up with! You get to click around to the websites of a bunch of paranormal romance writers, ferret out information in your own sleuthing adventure, and send your answers in to Lynda.

And you could win a Kindle!

To help you out, the questions for this site are:

Question #1) What is Char afraid she'll run into on Baseline Road?

Question #2) What color is Char's card?

The answers are in the first chapter of Space Junque, conveniently located at the end of the Space Junque page.

Collect the answers and click over to Paranormalcy to continue in the rest of the contest.
