Price point? ARGH!!!!
Yeah, so this whole "Sell it at 0.99 cents to create a HUGE boost in sales", isn't going so well.
I have spent ten times as much on ads than I have made so far. To be precise: 40$ in ads has equated to FIVE downloads in almost as many days. I made more than that with ONE sale in a whole week at 2.99/ea.
Maybe my readers are like me: When I see an ebook at 0.99, unless it is a big sale from a well known writer, I figure its cheap because...well, the book is cheap. As in not worth more than a dollar. I pass them over.
SO I think I will call this experiment a failure. Perhaps I need more patience, but I just have a strong feeling that this is NOT the price point I want or need to be at. Sale will be over by the end of the day. :)

Making Progress
Just a little update!
As I shared in my last post, the adiobook for The Mystery of Hollow Inn is out! It's been about three weeks now and so far, I have gotten six very favorable reviews, so I've gaine Just a little update!

This is especially good, since I have finished narrating Bloodline and am currently editing/mixing the audio. I still hope to have it out and available before the end of this month.
On another front, I have begun the second book in the Samantha Wolf Mysteries. The title (so far) is, The Secret of Camp Whispering Pine. I'm loving this fun story and I'm excited to have a panned release date for before the end of this year!
