Updates upon updates
First, I liked to say a big thank you to anyone who downloaded Barely There! The book made it all the way to 197 in free paranormal, werewolf romance category. Since this wasn't the first or heck, even second, time Barely There had a free giveaway I wasn't expecting the response it received. So thank you again. After the third, I have seen a boost in sales and pages read, which is amazing because I've been absent for over a year and it showed.
Second, I knew I had said Bearly There would be coming out of Kindle Select and therefore KU. However, after looking over and thoroughly google searching the internet. I definitely fell down the rabbit hole for a few days as the deadline to stay or go approached. I realized that taking Bearly There out would still get me into hot water because of the bundle pack. With Redwater Volume One staying in Kindle Select it meant any material inside it couldn't be sold on another retailer.
Meaning I would've had to take the bundle pack out of Select as well. Even then though, I wouldn't have been able to put Volume One on any other sites, because Books 2-3.5 would've still been enrolled. I would've been stuck sitting with Volume one out of Select but unable to go anywhere else. While it sucks because I would've liked to try Bearly There out on other sites, most of my readers come from KU. Even I have KU and read all of my books with it.
I just couldn't see letting the bundle sit there, not in KU, but not anywhere else either. Not to mention, any new readers to the series could use it to catch up and save some money. Anyway, I think that a future series or standalone will test the waters of self-publishing on all platforms later.
Lastly, I am awful at keeping up with my author Twitter. For a millennial, social media is not my thing. However, my marketer (also known as my mother) is trying to talk me into having an author facebook page. Is that something you'd like? Or would it be a no-go for you guys?
Much Love,
