#75!

Love or Lust has hit #75 on the Lesbian Fiction top 100 on Amazon.com!


Okay, so my overall rank on Amazon is 24k and Amazon’s ranking algorythm means I could go up twenty slots five minutes from now without selling another copy, or go down twenty slots after selling one (no one can make sense out of how that works) but that’s totally not the point.


It’s exciting, full stop.

It never fails

No matter how hard we try there’s alwayssomething in our final, published to the public, books that is just plain wrong.


Today I noticed three.


The first came from the beautiful (truly, these are juststunning)print copies ofLove or Lustthat arrived today: in the print version there’s a blank page between chapters 20 and 21. It’s not there in the .docx file. It’s a quirk of converting to PDF – something I had to do to get the very pretty fonts for the title page, headers, and chapter names.


The s...

God, I’m sorry folks, I got distracted and completely forgot to schedule a post announcing a sale!


Luckily it is for the entire month of July, and if you shop on Smashwords already then it would have kindly told you to use code SW50 to get Love or Lust half off.


Lots and lots of books 25%, 50%, 75%, even 100% off today. A lot of authors presenting their hard work at discount for us. So today I’m posting my link to the promotion. Err … There’s a lot of erotica on Smashwords. They kindly turn on...

What book sales teach us

Well, the up side: Love or Lust is selling; yay for me.


In fact, this is the first lesson: contrary to logic, it is easier to sell a $3.99/£2.62 book than it is to give it away. DriveThru and Smashwords report no one has taken a free copy. According to Amazon the paid copies are just traipsing along at a steady clip. I won’t ask. I mean, really folks, I appreciate that people are paying for it but I’m not starving – my day job pays terribly, but it does pay.


Next lesson: approximately 1/3 of Am...

A free copy, as promised

smashwordsFor the Smashworders theres this code: GG53A

That will be valid until 8am PDT 1 July 2013


dt-fiction3dwebFor those with a special place in their hearts for DriveThru Fiction simply click the cute little logo to the left.


Sorry folks, but until I’m in iBookstore that’s it for places I can do any kind of promotions. Amazon’s program for such things are just a free give away and only if I agree to exclusivity with them. I can’t, in good conscience, do that to my readers who don’t use Kindle.


When will I be in iBoo...
