Paperback giveaway + RIFT scene 5

Well, here we are, January 31st, which means signed paperbacks! The lucky winners will receive an email from me before the end of the weekend, and hopefully the paperbacks should be in the mail within a few days.

Speaking of paperbacks, I guess I haven't mentioned that all my paper books are enrolled in the Amazon Match Book program. The cool thing about Match Book is that when you buy a paper book enrolled in the program, you get a discount on the e-book as well (when you buy through Amazon)....

Signed paperbacks, and an update

 

Here's a quick update, and a little something that you might like!

First of, to those of you who aren't following me on Twitter or Facebook, or doesn't subscribe to my mailing list (you should!), I want to wish you a happy new year!

So what am I up to these days? Well, first and foremost, I am working on Genesis (third of the Exodus Trilogy), and man, are there many threads to tie up! The main ones should already be covered, but still, there are a lot of details. But it's fun! And be...

RIFT - scene 4

I've got another scene from RIFT for you, but first I want to make you aware that EXODUS is currently FREE on Amazon. It's just a few days, so if you haven't got it already, you should head over and grab your copy now! http://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Trilogy-Andreas-Christensen-ebook/dp/B00AI9BMHS/

So, let's move on to RIFT then. As you might already know, I'm posting every new scene of Rift, my next book to be published after Genesis, the third and final installment of the Exodus Trilogy. This i...

RIFT - A scene in between

I just finished another scene for RIFT. If you haven't read the previous posts on this, please go do so now, to understand what this is all about.

You ready?

Okay. So, I'm writing this book where you can follow the progress, scene by scene, right here on the blog. Unedited, raw material, typos and all. Yeah, I know - crazy... Anyway... As long as Genesis is still my number one project progress on RIFT will most likely be slow, but once the Exodus Trilogy is complete, things will defin...

RIFT Scene 2

I'm writing this book where you can follow my progress right here on the blog. Whenever I have a scene ready, I will post it up here - first draft, completely unedited. Some of you may find you don't particularly enjoy reading such raw material, and if so I advise you to skip these posts. On the other hand, if you'd like to get a glimpse of my writing process, and see how this goes, you may get something out of this. Either way, I hope you understand that the book will change significantly th...

RIFT - Blogging a book

I want to share an idea with you that have been on my mind for some time now. You see, I like to have more than one project going - it's a way to nourish my creativity and keep things interesting. Of course, every writer is different, and what works for me is not necessarily what works for others. But what I'm going to tell you is something I've wanted to do for a while, and it's about time I got on with it!

There's a story that's been churning around in my head for a while (yeah, I'm weird th...

MY KDP SELECT EXPERIMENT, PART 3

It is time to assess the results from my KDP Select Experiment. Mind, these are the results approximately two weeks after running the promo, and I might write another post assessing the more long term effects in a few months.

So, to recap, my KDP Select Experiment consisted of two main elements. 

1- Enrolling Exodus into KDP Select, and 

2- Targeted advertising. 

If you haven't already read the first and second post on this, I strongly recommend you do that before going...

Science fiction and reading

EXODUS is currently free, and will be through Friday. If you haven't read it yet, or if you only have the first edition, you should grab your copy right now! When writing this post it has been downloaded more than 8000 times, and it's only been free for a few hours!

I have to attribute a lot of this to reader sites, and I'd especially like to mention Kindle Books and Tips at http://www.fkbooksandtips.com/ and Digital Book Today at http://digitalbooktoday.com/ and the World Literary Cafe a...

Reviews, and the art of not caring (too much)

I've just seen the first reviews of AURORA on Amazon UK, and so far they look pretty good. On Amazon US I'm still waiting, but hopefully I should start seeing a few reviews soon.

 

Today I want to discuss reviews, and their impact on readers, sales and even the writer. That's right, reviews impact writers as well. So here is my take on all this.

 

Reviews are an important part of selling books. If a book has no reviews it's either brand new or nobody has read it. That's how it looks, an...
