Two Marilyn Vix titles will be on sale all week!

Each year I like to participate and encourage people to join in the joy of reading an ebook. I found myself slowly falling into ebooks back in 2009, and haven’t looked back. I noticed it helped get the number of books I was reading a year higher than ever before. They are so easy to buy, without waiting in lines. In fact, it can be so easy, it borderlines addictive.

To make it easy for you to see what I mean, once a year Smashwords has a big promotion to encourage people to try reading ebooks. Of course, if you are already part of the faithful, this is a great way to find some awesome freebies and deep discounts.

I am happy to say that I’ve put the first of my Beware of Warlocks series, Never Marry A Warlock, as a FREE TITLE all this week. The entire series box set will be on discount(Over 75%) at $0.99.

Join us! Become an ebook reader. If you’re already there, enjoy this week of freebies and discounts. It only comes once a year.

Everything For Love Up On Netgalley For March and Marilyn On Reviewing in General

[image error]

Marilyn Vix’s new novel will be available on Netgalley for the month of March only!

So, as part of my second month of launching my new novel, I’ve uploaded Everything for Love (Time Rogues Book 1) onto Netgalley for reviews. If your not familiar with Netgalley, it’s a website that hosts ARC and Review Copies of books from publishers to give to blog reviewers and book lovers. A lot of people on the site are Goodreads.com regulars as well as book bloggers. My new novel will only be available on Netgalley for the month of March.

Link to Everything For Love (Time Rogues Book 1) on Netgalley:

So, those of my followers that follow my blog or newsletter, here’s your chance to get a Review Copy and review Everything For Love if you would like to.

Marilyn Vix On Reviews: From The Author Perspective

I think the tradition of giving out ARC/Review copies goes back decades in the publishing industry, and the digital age has just made it a lot easier for people to get a hold of them. I remember being a Vine Reviewer back in the days when Amazon first started the program, but I just couldn’t keep up with reading fast enough. I did manage to read about 4-5 books, and then just got far behind. But it’s fun to do, and it’s cool to spice up your blog with reviews. I’ve always thought reviewing books are important, and think it’s cool that now anyone can leave a review about a book and have it mean something to fellow readers.

I also know how much it means to writers. It’s funny how people might forget how much authors read themselves. Having an ereader has really picked up my reading speed, and I know I’ve doubled my amount of reading over the years. The Goodreads Reading Challenge helps me keep track of how much more I’m reading. I do read my genre, because EVERY writer should read what they write. Really. It’s the only way to get better. But I also read memoirs now, especially 80s memoirs. If it wasn’t for ebooks, I don’t think I’d be reading as much, because driving to a book store is so much of a hassle. It’s very easy to click and buy a book from your ereader, even in the bathtub.

Then, I try to review on every book I read, even if it has a lot of reviews. I know that a lot of writers read their reviews for feedback, and it is like an applause to a writer to receive a good review. You don’t really know how well people will like your book until they write a review. I mean, back in the day, book critics were the main voice. But now you can hear from the regular reader, the common person out there on whether they like your book.

Of course, there is a drawback. There are troll reviewers, people that tend to be a bit nasty in their review to stand out among the crowd. But I guess there have always been reviewers like that. Many well known movies and books have received bad reviews, but still did well. Nobody remembers the reviews, just the book. It could be that later generations understood the artistic parts of the book better than when it was released. So many artists are ahead of their time, like Van Gogh. A movie or book isn’t appreciated sometimes until decades later.

I’m thinking of “It’s A Wonderful Life” with James Stewart since I just finished reading his biography. That movie was considered a dude, a flop, when it came out. And now it’s considered an American tradition at Christmas. So, you just never know. Reviews are helpful for readers and can help or hinder a book. But what matters is being able to review at all. I do like the fact that I can write my two cents about a book, and help other readers. But as I’m writing it, I can imagine the writer reading it as well. So, I will usually give some positive feedback, points of improvement, where the writer can gain some insight to help with further books. As a writer, that’s why I read my reviews.

Sorry, didn’t mean to go on a diatribe. But at least having a blog, it gives me an outlet for my POV on reviews as a reader and writer. It’s considered bad form to comment on reviews. But at least here, on my own blog, I can let others know what it’s like to be a writer in relation to book reviews in the digital age. It’s a brave new world, and it’s exciting to be a part of it.

Hope you have a fabulous March. May your reading be enjoyable! I’ll be right along reading with you.

All Romance Ebooks Closure Drama Continues

[image error]Well, I was surprised to see in my inbox a message from All Romance Ebooks CEO, Lori James. I’m going to post it in its entirety to see if some of the facts stated are really happening. So, below, is the email just received an hour ago:

“I wanted to take this opportunity to update all contracted publishers on some key elements involving the winding down of All Romance eBooks, LLC. First, we have completed the process of refunding all 2017 Pre-orders and Advertising. Next, all book files and images have been deleted. On Saturday, February 4, 2017the remaining server content will be wiped. Once the server content is erased, you will no longer have access to the publisher portal (https://www.allromanceebooks.com/publishers/index.php). Please make sure to log in and download any reports you might need prior to that date. We remain on schedule to remit payments byFebruary 28, 2017 of payment of the settlement amounts for those who agreed to accept our 10 % settlement offer. Finally, those who are due to receive a 1099 for the 2016 tax year will be receiving them via the post. Those who are due to receive a 1042 for the 2016 tax year will be receiving password-protected files via email. We will be sending a password protected document to the email address we have on record. The password to unlock the document will be sent via a separate email. As per our terms of agreement, we will be using the information that was in our database as of December 31, 2016. If you need to update any information for the 2017 tax form distribution, please send a request to allromanceebooks@mac.com.

Sincerely,

Lori James

All Romance eBooks, LLC”

So, a couple of questions have come out of this email.

Did the people that agreed to a 10% settlement (To note, I did not) really get their money?
Are readers really getting refunds for their preorders?
Did the authors that bought advertising REALLY get their money back?
Will I really get a tax form 1042 for amount earned in 2016?

I’m not sure if to totally believe her or not. After all, it sounds like a lot of promises for someone that swindled her partner and screwed over small publishers and authors.

So, if you can answer any of the questions above, please do in the comments below. I’d love to do a follow up post to keep on top of how this whole situation is going. I know a lot of authors, publishers and readers are affected by the closing of ARe, and I’m happy to keep on top of the info when it becomes available.

Remember, support authors! Read our books and review! It really helps!

All Romance Ebooks (ARe) Author Emails Exposed

[image error]So, I know there has been a lot of speculation out there about what authors were getting before All Romance Ebooks closed. But I thought I’d set the record straight and show you the last emails I got from ARe the weeks before it sent out notices through emails of its closure. I’m just putting it out there so you can see they were operating as business as usual until the time of the closure emails on Dec. 28.

Here is the Boxing Day Promo that was sent to me on 12/19/16. It was the last promo email I got. I had also received one for a promo back during Halloween and for Black Friday. So, it looked like it was running as usual. I had done a promo during the earlier part of the year and past other years. This year, it didn’t seem to generate any sales as compared to other years. So, I didn’t sign up for either of these sales.

Boxing Day Promo Email received on 12/19/16. It also includes a blurb about their Daily Deals program for 2017. So, they were clearly trying to promote advertising for 2017.

“FREE Promo Ops at All Romance!

Participate in our  Boxing Day #AReBlast

This promotion will be held for 1 day only, on December 26. In celebration of Boxing Day, we’re going to b e promoting a 25% discount from select publishers.

You are receiving notice this notice because you have books available on AllRomance.com and an active author page. This mailing list is only used for important business communications and promotional opportunities. Author pages usually contain author contact and website information as well as a bio and author headshot. If you wish to update your author information or remove your contact information and thereby unsubscribe from future notifications, please email Audrey.Sharpe@allromanceebooks.com.”

So, I thought this would be helpful since I’ve been noticing a lot of speculation and rumors about what emails authors received. People didn’t seem too sure at times or know exactly what they said. I like to read the actual article to make my own opinions. So, I’m posting the emails to let readers know the behind the scenes for authors affected by ARe’s closure.

The actual email of ARe’s closure is available in my original post when this all began on Dec. 28, 2016.

I hope this answers questions and helps others in their research of this romance publishing/retailer failure. If there is any other information available, you can be sure I’ll post it. Until then, keep writing and reading,
