Thanks, Ted. I feel like Danny in Ocean's Eleven, getting the gang back together. lol

After four years, I have decided to publish independently. My books languished in my fancy NYC lit agent. I gave up and took them back. Grady Whill and the Templeton Codex will be available as a Kindle on July 18, 2022.https://www.amazon.com/Grady-Whill-Te...

Thanks for the tip, Anna!!

Great book!!!

Great book!!! Congrats on the Reader's Favorite. I'm not surprised!!

I like promo stacking. I think it works.

Sounds good!

How do you plan to market in the coming year? Has Covid changed anything for you? What has changed in the last two years? Are book sales moving in the right direction?

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzq and Happy New Year! Best wishes for any holiday you might celebrate!

My pleasure. Make sure you read and follow the rules. You'll be fine. Make a spreadsheet so you'll remember.

Believe me, I was too. It's all about just pressing buttons and seeing what happens.

It costs nothing to post to groups. Look for groups in your genre- ones with interested readers. I have joined dozens of FB groups. They have names like Free book promotions or Authors promote your books here. It's boosted my sales substantially.

lol. I hope not.

I was hoping we could get a discussion going with this group.

Thant's great, Anita!

I searched for Facebook groups that say promote your book here or readers/author groups. I never ask for a review and I try to adhere to the rules of the group. I spend maybe a half-hour two or three times a week posting- I post straight from Amazon along with a quote from a review, then I tweet it as well.

I have been watching my numbers and definitely when I post to FB on assorted promotion sites my sales rise. So, from selling a couple of paperbacks per day- it goes to 10-20 sales per day (paperbacks). I have been doing at least one book free book a week and average 100 'purchases per day. Kindle sales are still flat, never more than 4 or five a day. What are your thoughts? Posting takes five minutes- I look for sites that invite authors to post. What are your thoughts?

Happy Hanukah to those who celebrate!!

Wishing everybody who celebrates a happy Thanksgiving.
