2023 is Here
Hello everyone, It has been awhile since my last post
However, I have not disappeared, I have had a lot of things to work out in my life, and have been working hard.
First goal is to constantly challenge myself, and I have been working on many storylines and getting things ready for many different series I plan on introducing very soon.
Second goal is to entertain, which leads to challenges in the first goal
There are many other goals, but there must only and always be seven
Enough of that for now
The second reason I have posted today is to announce January's Free E-Book promotions
"The Telling of Two Worlds, Vol. 1: Exiled" will be free From 1/17/2023 Through 1/21/2023
"Cornelius Montegue: Unlicensed Junior Private Detective, The Case of the Displaced Art Class" is on 1/5/2023 Through 1/9/2023
Plus, more to come, in 2023

New Updates
Took yet another course to further my knowledge towards self-publishing
Learned I about keywords and the correct way to use them
Therefore, I am in the process of updating my books keywords, categories, and have already launched the new prices
Also, I have started a new advertising campaign trial on Amazon for "The Telling of Two Worlds"
I hope it helps it move up
On another note, I have started Detective Big Hat, the beginning of the Montegue Investigations Series, and the Prequels to Cornelius Montegue, Unlicensed Junior Private Investigator

Website down, but rising up again
Had major hack on the website, nothing that can harm anyone, just enough to screw it up
Taking the opportunity to upgrade it once again.
Looking better than ever.

The Price vs The Product
I have been doing a lot of research and in the end pricing of my books comes down to two options
1st. an industry standard keep the prices the same, and rely on the quality of the product
2nd. make the books so you can make some money but let the quality of the product sell the quantity
In short, I have devised a new plan to make money and keep the cost of the book down.
Therefore, the new prices for the books shall all be different, instead of the same for e-book, paperback, and hardback.
The new prices shall reflect the minimum I can sell them and still make a living
