It's Time Again.
Based on the Christmas decorations now showing up in the stores, it must be time for Halloween.:)
It's also time for some zombie-based book sales. I'm running a Halloween Kindle Countdown deal with Sometimes We Ran. Only 99 cents for a limited time.
Here is your link zombie fans:

Thanks, and Happy Halloween (or maybe early Christmas).

Oops!
Okay ...Here's my story, and I sticking to it.
One of the cool things about being in KDP Select is the ability to run Kindle Countdown deals on your books. You set a discount price and a period of time for the sale, and Amazon takes care of the rest.
In preparation for the holidays, I planned a week-long, 99c sale for Sometimes We Ran 2. So, I went into my dashboard and set it up.
Or so I thought.
Yesterday, no matter how many times I checked, the price refused to change. I messed something up.
I'm having the sale anyway.:)
I manually changed the price to 99c, and the sale is on! I'm calling it I-screwed-up-my-Kindle-Countdown-but-my-book-is-on-sale-anyway-Holiday-Extravaganza-Sale. Just for the heck of it, I'm throwing Sometimes We Ran on sale as well. Both books will 99c until 12/31/14.

Happy Halloween
Judging by the Christmas trees going up for sale at my local Wal-Mart, it must be Halloween.
Halloween has a special significance for me. I had a story in my head for Sometimes We Ran, but I didn't have the disaster that ended the world. I thought about a few ways the world could end – nuclear war, chemical warfare, pandemic, global government collapse, famine – and none seemed right. I even envisioned a scenario where a planet crashes into Earth, but it was too flashy.
A somewhat popular zombie apocalypse show with everyone's favorite unhinged sheriff was having a Halloween marathon. I watched, and jotted down creative descriptions for zombies and ways to eradicate them. Sometimes We Ran was born.
Two sequels followed, both as a result of that night. The third part of the series, Sometimes We Ran 3: Rescue is celebrating its sixth month of publication. A fourth and fifth part will follow, and then I won't know what to do. Maybe I'll nap a bit. :)
Like I do every year since writing these books, I've put them up for sale. Until 11/02, all three e books in the Sometimes We Ran series will be 99 cents each – if I set the Kindle Countdown deal correctly. You can also borrow all three with your Kindle Unlimited subscription. I thank you for your support. :)
Until next time, and Happy Halloween.

Sometimes We Ran 2: Community - 6 Years Published!
Hard to believe it but Sometimes We Ran 2: Community is six years old.
I've said this before, but I didn't think a sequel was going to happen. The original ending I wrote for Sometimes We Ran was a lot darker. Hint: Nobody makes it to the next book. :) I decided I didn't like that and went in a new direction. Writing a few new paragraphs of the continuing story of John and Claire got the ideas flowing again.
To celebrate, Sometimes We Ran 2 will be on a Kindle Countdown Deal for 99 cents for a another day or so.
Thanks to all that gave my zombie book sequel a chance. :)
