Lots of news!
I am very pleased to announce that Turns is now officially released and available on Amazon!
Want it for Kindle? Get it here!
Want a paperback version? Get it here!
After much consideration, I have chosen to enroll Turns in Amazon’s KDP Select program. What that means is that digital copies of the novel will only be available for the Kindle, via the Amazon website, for the next three months. While I am an advocate of spreading the written word as far and wide as possible, participating in the KDP Select program lets me do some things I couldn’t do otherwise. First, it means that readers who have Amazon Prime can borrow Turns for free. Participation in the KDP Select program also means that I can a run the occasional giveaway, where any reader can download the novel to their Kindle for free. The tradeoff is that I can’t offer digital versions of novel for the Nook, iPad, or any other digital reader while I participate. I recognize that this decision may frustrate some readers, but the situation is temporary. My current plan is to offer Turns in other digital formats beginning in late March, unless there is some deeply compelling reason not to do so.
I am also in the process of trying to get those nifty little boxes you see on Amazon, the ones that show all the available formats of a book, installed for both Turns and Falls. With luck, this will make getting the version of the book you want, digital or physical copy, easier on everyone. This isn’t in place, yet, but I’m working on it and will keep everyone updated on the process.
I’ve gotten my first review for Turns on Amazon, which you can read here.
I’ve also gotten another five star review for Falls, which can be read on Larry B. Gray’s website here. Thanks so much, Larry!
In case any of you were wondering if you’re going to have to wait as long for Book 3 in the Sam Branch series as you did for book 2 (a couple of years for some valiant readers), I’m sincerely hoping you are not. In point of fact, I may have already written a few pages of the next book! Having a group of alpha and beta readers in place should help to keep me on track and my goal is to release the next book within the next year, give or take.
So, like the post title says, Turns is live! Go! Go! Go!
