Sale extention

Due to all the grief and nightmare getting the book to discount for all of you who prefer Smashwords … whatever you like, you’ve got an ex...
Pre-ordery goodnes!!
So I was poking around on Smashwords today and discovered something wonderful! They offer pre-order!
This is outrageously awesome.
Now, a few things to bear in mind: I do not distribute through Smashword’s Premium Catalogue. I go to each marketplace myself. Apple, Kobo (if I recall correctly), and (now) Smashwords allows this. Amazon does not, DriveThru Fiction … I don’t think so, and neither does Nook (unless they’ve changed something, too). All Romance eBooks, I’m still getting the hang of, t...

Getting fed up with Amazon
Warning: I’m highly annoyed, in a foul mood, and not much inclined to be remotely charitable to a certain major corporation just now.
Well, my 75% off sale is up and going. … except Amazon.
They were one of the first places I set the sale, but they haven’t seen fit to post the new price.
I contacted their support and, after an unprofessionally long wait (most others respond within hours if not minutes, Amazon typically is best measured in days) they replied … the price change page hadn’t loaded...

Love or Lust (ebook) now on sale!
Until 2 March 2014 you can getLove or Lust in ebook for 75% off!
I wanted to celebrate how very close I am to having
Ready or Not on shelves and this seemed a good way to do it.
I desperately wish I could cut my print price too — but that option still is simply not possible.
Follow the links to the book’s page, from there it can take you to your favourite ebookstore.
If your favourite still shows the normal price — give it a couple hours to a day. Ijust launched the sale, and some stores don’t upd...

An idea for anyone interested …
I love to hear about new books as much as the next person. And I’ve noticed that some of my readership is comprised of writers. And a simple fact of life is that some have more and others less readership than I do. Certainly it’s a given that we all have different readership.
I’ve heard of blog tours, guest bloggers, etc. And this isn’tso different as that; but a little bit, yes.
I’d like to, on Sundays I think, have one or maybe a few authors post their books. Just cover image, the blurb, link...

Finished!
As I sit here enjoying a bit of pizza while waiting for my power to be restored (gas stove, lights by match … modern gas oven with buttons? Not so much) I’ve hit the end of Ready or Not!!
Okay, I feel very good about what I have. I still have to give it back to my editor, though. Still … depending her own workload this could be out as early as next month, but expect April or May with June on the outside.
I’m thinking I might put Love or Lust on sale to celebrate. I’ll get back to you on that. S...

Why the cruelty?

I don’t propose to have an answer. I’m just contemplating a question that I simply have to get off my chest — one that’s not new to humanity, and is probably a good deal of the basis of both religion and philosophy throughout history: why are we such horrible bastards to one another?!
Differences are often cited. Oh, let’s look down on him because he’s gay...

Half way there
This edit pass ofReady or Not is going amazingly smoothly. I’m already about half through it all and have mostly been fixing typos. This bodes very well for moving up the release date!
I’m hoping, if this pace continues, to have this in my editor’s hands by the end of the month — maybe end of the first week of February at the latest. She has to do another pass; no way to avoid it, my grammar and orthography can get pretty lousy at points — my schooling included little education, and less where...

Literary License
Oh wow, I just found the most awesomely hilarious thing!
Part of me really wants to get one.
A real literary license!(Well … sort of).
Filed under: Good stuff.

Getting somewhere
Ready or Not is a step closer to release.
I’m in the process of another proofreading pass. This one, sadly, is less a polish run and more of a revision/redraft/rewrite than when I’d don’t this forLove or Lust, but such is life. The importance of that distinction is that it means I’m that much more likely to need till June to release. With luck things will be swift and smooth enough that I’ll be done with this by March and able to give over to my editor for that last check for typos and grammar...
