Aliens in the Barn:

Excerpt from Aliens in the Barn:
As Miaxa’s current form grew larger in the rearview mirror, Bazin took control of the truck again. Alex threw up his hands. "Come on, Bazin!"Bazin revved the truck, no intention of speeding up. The arc of lightning that passed from Miaxa just as she connected with the bumper? That was unexpected. When Alex started jumping and yelling as if the cab were suddenly full of rattlesnakes, he knew he had been unsuccessful in preventing the electric shock from passing through. When a thrill like he hadn’t felt in a long time coursed through his system, he knew he was unsuccessful in preventing the aftershock, too. The console was covered in arcs of lightning, jolts of electricity shooting through his system in wave after delightful wave. The human was obviously not having the same thrill, yelling and cursing, trying to stand up off the seat, only to be electrocuted through those spindly legs as soon as his booted feet hit the floor. Alex tried pulling up on the steering wheel, but judging by the loud crackle of sparks that traveled from his fingers up his arms, Bazin was guessing that didn’t help at all. "Owww! Bazin? What the hell…Argh!" Alex screeched.It was difficult to tear away from the wonderful sensations, but Bazin managed to speed up the truck, edging a little distance from the Jeep. "Quantus, Miaxa," he sent through their bond. "You're going to make me electrocute my human."

What does it mean? Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets. I’ve been giving you a glimpse into Estelle’s secret life as Super Starrella. Starrella’s winged mare, Rockette, was rescued by a large cat. You can read last week’s snippet here: http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-moving-shadow-snippet-from-super.html Last week, a masked man in black appeared. Here is the last line: “Toby!” Starrella cried. “What the heck is going on?”
She stepped closer, holding out her hand to show the small flame rising from her palm. His eyes glinted in the light and he drawled, “Super Starrella’s firepower! Great, we’ll need you for the mantis attack.” “No, not the mantises.” She waved a hand at him and pointed back at herself, “You, me, and these silly costumes? What does it all mean?” “Didn’t they tell you at the Clinic?” She raised her eyebrows, “I was shown how to change the colors of my nanosuit. Cute, but doesn’t explain anything. Rockette told me more than Dr. Netta did.”
I may give you one more snippet, but soon I’ll move onto the sequel, Starrella Falls.

Analysis of an eBook Promotion Strategy #MarketingTips for #IndieAuthors

I used a two part strategy to promote The Lady is Blue – FREE June 3-5th followed by 99c June 6-10th
Buy Links:US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K1N951QInternational: http://authl.it/B00K1N951Q?d  
The Lady is Blue is Book 1 of my science fiction romance series, Atrapako on Eden. This series has only two books at present. Dragons of Vkani is Book 2 and was set at 99c to encourage sales during the promotion of FREE Book 1.

Caveat: I do not know if the book appeared on several of these sites. I used free options in all cases. 
Amazon RankingsBest Free (June 5th)Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #400 Freein Kindle Store (See Top 100 Free in Kindle Store) ·       #7 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction >  Alien Invasion

Brutally Honest Results of PromotionTotal of 704 free copies.Book 1: 13 sold by June 14th (most at 99c) Book 2: 4 sold by June 14th (all at 99c special price)Also about 6000 KU reads. Total income ~$30
Not spectacular, but the promotion kickstarted the book sales for about a week after it was free and the KU reads continued for a couple of weeks. Patty Jansen's promo of Science Fiction & Fantasy eBooks works well, with cross-promotion by contributing authors (100-150!). 
My Conclusions: The two-part promotion of Free eBook followed by 99c sale helps bring in sales. Apparently I need to run promotions about every two weeks for my books. As far as I can tell, sales are worse than a year ago, presumably due to the large volume of competing books. Having books in a series helps in the sense that you need only promote Book 1, or else you can run Book 2 free and Book 1 at 99c. Also, I need to publish more books. New releases are good for sales. 

A moving shadow - Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa #Superhero

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets. I’ve been showing you a glimpse into Estelle’s secret life as Super Starrella. Last week, Starrella’s winged mare, Rockette, was rescued by a large cat. You can read last week’s snippet here: http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/20...
Starrella raced to her mare. The big cat turned to face her, bared its curved fangs and snarled. Halting cautiously, Starrella tossed her hair back over her shoulders and stared at the powerful black cat. Nearly as tall as the mare, its sleek black fur had the pale yellow splotches of a South American jaguar. A faint sound called her attention to the dark side of the building. A man stepped out of the darkness, all in black except for his eyes. In the dull black material of his close-fitting suit, he was almost invisible, like a moving shadow. Even so, she recognized his distinctive broad shoulders and muscular arms. “Toby!” Starrella cried. “What the heck is going on?”
What indeed? So here you see another facet of the mysterious Toby. 
Would you like the next snippet from this scene? Reply in the Comments.I won’t continue much further, but hope to start giving you snippets from the sequel, Starrella Falls.

Read this Excerpt for a Hint to Starrella’s Favorite Animal“Come and meet your animal companion.” Beckoning for Estelle to follow, Dr. Netta walked out of the room and along a white-walled hallway to another door. Opening the door, the severe woman ushered Estelle into a long greenhouse with a domed roof. She pointed at the far end. “Go through the door. Your mare is waiting at the back of the garden.” Beyond the door, the brick path continued into a sunlit garden under a blue sky with white puffs of clouds. A thick hedge of tall bushes enclosed formal lawns edged in box and flower beds blooming in bright colors. At the end of the path, she glimpsed the white coat of her mare half hidden behind the rose bushes. The small horse tossed her head and pranced towards Estelle. Her eyes were bright, her mane rippled free of tangles, and her coat glistened in the sunlight. Huge feathered wings were folded along the mare’s flanks. Brown feathers sprinkled among the white matched the tawny dapples on the mare’s hindquarters. Reaching out to stroke the mare’s soft nose, Estelle breathed, “Spotty, you’ve grown wings. Beautiful wings!”“Spotty. That’s a stupid name for a winged horse!” The mare snorted, exposing her blocky teeth.   Astounded by the mare’s caustic complaint, Estelle asked, “What do you want to be called? Pegasus?”  “Pegasus is a stallion, not a mare. I’m Rockette Farleon.” The mare tossed her head, swinging her long, blonde mane. Suddenly realizing the mare had spoken inside her head, Estelle cried, “All right, Rockette. You can speak in my mind and you’ve grown wings. What’s going on in this weird Veterinary Clinic? Do you know?” The mare’s soft nose poked Estelle’s chest. “The explosion at the army base induced our superpowers. I can fly!” Feathers brushed Estelle’s hand as Rockette stretched her wings to their full extent. “Superpowers?” Estelle blurted indignantly. “What superpower do I have, apart from being able to talk to a winged horse?” Rockette leaned her head on Estelle’s shoulder. “I don’t know what superpower you have. We’ll find out. Now we’re paired as Farleon companions, we can send thoughts to each other.”

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets. Leading up to Estelle’s next meeting with the mysterious Toby, I’ll give you a glimpse into her secret life as Super Starrella with her winged mare, Rockette.

Slipping off the mare’s back, Estelle circled the space, alert for another attack from the injured mantis. Behind her, Rockette snorted and stamped her hooves, impatient at the delay. A rush of air and the mare squealed, her hooves shuffling on the asphalt. Swiveling towards the sound, Starrella bit her lip; mantis mandibles clamped onto a feathery wing, pinning the mare on the ground. In a blur of white feathers, Rockette struggled to free her wing, twisting and kicking with no visible effect. Starrella pointed her fingers and hesitated, unsure of her target. White mare and green mantis writhed together, and she was afraid of hitting the wrong one. A black shape bounded out of the darkness, resolving into the lithe body of a large cat. Leaping onto the struggling combatants, the cat’s teeth snapped into the neck of the mantis. The mare jerked away and stood shuddering as the mantis legs scrabbled on the tarmac.

My Game is about my heroine, Estelle, who is transformed into Super Starrella.

This Excerpt has the Clue to the Correct Answer “Come and meet your animal companion.” Beckoning for Estelle to follow, Dr. Netta walked out of the room and along a white-walled hallway to another door. Opening the door, the severe woman ushered Estelle into a long greenhouse with a domed roof. She pointed at the far end. “Go through the door.

BlurbTeen superhero, Starrella, and her flying horse combat vicious killers in the skies of Atalanta. The quiet summer before her freshman year turns frighteningly weird after Estelle Wright trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air and knocked unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower. Not to mention a winged horse with a snarky attitude and a mind of her own. Back home in Atalanta, a serial killer is targeting the students at Goldman University. Before long she must juggle college classes with sneaking out of the house after dark to battle alien monsters. Estelle’s life is in danger, but who can she trust: handsome Captain Copper from military intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster with a motorbike? Both men have secret agendas, but falling in love is not in their plans. Young adult superheroes, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.

Super Starrella in Action - Snippet for #WeWriWa #Superhero Mystery & Romance

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets. See Special Promotions at the end of the post. Last week I finished the scene where Estelle is surprised to meet Toby, the hunky biker, at Goldman University, and she learns he studies Engineering. In the next Chapter, she meets him again under unusual circumstances. First, leading up to their meeting, I’ll give you a glimpse into her secret life as Super Starrella with her winged mare, Rockette.
Flying with Rockette a few nights later, Starrella spotted the shadow of a giant mantis swaying back and forth against a moonlit brick wall. In the dark alley below, the crisp footsteps of a lone woman echoed faintly. The intended victim peered from side to side, nervous, yet unaware of the terror lurking above her head.  “Rockette,” Starrella warned. “Seen it,” spreading her wings, the mare glided down towards the mantis. Her silent descent brought them within ten feet before the mantis noticed. It lunged for the flying mare. Focusing her energies, Starrella shot a beam of fire at the huge insect. It screeched, clawed at its head and dropped into the darkness of the alley. Meanwhile, the pedestrian had trotted round the corner into the safety of the well-lit main street.
