About the author

K.S. Brooks

49 books59 followers
K.S. Brooks has been writing for over thirty years. An award-winning author and photographer, she has written more than 20 titles, is currently the co-administrator for the superblog IndiesUnlimited.com, and is founder of "Authors for Hurricane Sandy Library Recovery" and the "Liberty Library" for soldiers and veterans.

Ms. Brooks penned her first book, a swashbuckling action-adventure based in 17th century France, when she was fifteen years old. Since then, despite working for a living in the electronics industry, Ms. Brooks continued to write. In 2001, she left the high-tech arena in Boston for the Eastern Shore of Maryland to pursue her writing.

That same year, her first novel, Lust for Danger, was published. That action-adventure novel won Ms. Brooks Honorable Mention in the Jada Book of the Year Awards, and invitations to speak at the Maryland Writers' Association Writers' Conference, the Bay to Ocean Writers' Conference, and numerous other venues. She has been honored by the Maryland Writers' Association three times by participating as a judge in its annual novel contest.

As the business world and health issues took up more of her energy, Ms. Brooks set her sights on moving West to an environment more suitable and affordable to a writing career. Since her relocation to the wilderness of northeastern Washington State, late in 2008, Ms. Brooks has completed the following works which have been published by Cambridge Books: the suspenseful romance, The Kiss of Night (2010), Night Undone (2011) and three children's books: The Mighty Oak and Me (2009), Postcards from Mr. Pish (2010), and Mr. Pish's Woodland Adventure (2011). She has six more novels planned in the original Agent Night Adventure Series, two in the Agent Night 'Cover Me' series, a horror novel, and a number of Mr. Pish children's books in the works.

In addition to her writing, Ms. Brooks is an award-winning photographer and poet. Her articles, photographs, poetry, and blogs can be found in books, magazines, newspapers, galleries, and web sites worldwide. She currently writes three different blogs, and is a guest blogger for a number of web sites and is currently Co-Administrator at http://www.IndiesUnlimited.com.

Quite possibly the greatest book ever written in the history of Mankind. Well, the stuff I wrote is. They had to throw all that other stuff in there for filler, you know.

Seriously, this is an excellent book for the beginning writer trying to get into the self-publishing game. The tutorials will make a lot of things seem a lot easier for the neophytes, and many experienced self-pubbed writers may find some tips that will makes things easier and better for them.

Although the title is Tutorials and Tools for Prospering in a Digital World, it should be subtitled "to increase sales and revenue in a digital world. If your book or blog is not making money or as much money as you think it should, it might be because you haven't tried some of the things listed in this book. Things like Social Media, SEO strategy, video trailers, Google alerts, and drawing publicity. I am currently reading the second volume in efforts to grow my online presence and earn more money.

I cannot begin to list all of the 'marketing' books I have downloaded, websites I've surfed, or groups I have joined in the past two years in hopes of learning the tricks and trades of social media and ideas for getting my books into the hands of more people without spamming or begging. THIS BOOK is a rare gem in a pit of cubic zirconias. I have learned more from Indies Unlimited than all other resources combined.I recommend this book to every author - every PERSON - who wants to use social media to get their product and name out there. The Indies Unlimited blog is also full of great ideas.

I wish I had bought this book before I made so many mistakes. It had so much helpful information, things I haven't found in books on this subject. This is an impressive how to book that I will go back to when needed. Indies Unlimited do so much for the Indie author and then some.
