Can you tell us how to get there? I don't know anything about cypher codes.
Oohhhh. Got it. Thanks! Fun little thing to add in a mystery novel
That's great, Alex! So excited for you.

A = E
B = F
C..."
That makes so much sense now. I was close to getting it without the clue but just couldn't fully crack it. I don't know why I didn't think to shift each letter forward 5. I was trying to figure out something with the fifth word and a play on words with your clue lol. Good puzzle!

I look forward to seeing your new cover. All your other ones are really attention grabbing!

And I agree. I wish that they'd just have all the reviews in one place.
My review has been up on Goodreads for a couple of weeks! I've put it up on Amazon now, too. It's only short, but, then so's the story. :)I think Amazon used to have all the .com reviews visible in all stores, but for some reason they changed it a year or so ago. It's really annoying.
Congrats on the reviews. Love and cherish them! And for the cover. I got my covers pro made and loved loved loved them. I just want to go around and get covers and then think about the books to go with them.
Oohhh you got a new header too. I love it, it all just elevated your whole blog.
Awesome cover. Captures a lot of emotion.
Love your new cover! Very eye catching!

Great stuff, Alex! :)
Ooooh, that's a good-lookin' cover, Alex!! I dig the composition and font choice/placement. Plus, the contrast is super duper. Okay, I'm done haha!
Haha, Alex. I reckon you're actually a designer's dream cuz gonna guess it's much easier to create a fantabulous product without a ton of author input XP

That's great, Alex. Congrats!
Good on you Alex. Dog and me send affectionate congratulations....

Dog is mostly fine. If he gets his five miles in the morning. Tends to sleep a lot after that. BUT. If he wants attention he plonks his big furry bottom on my lap. Then I'm truly stuffed....

Why make choices when you can have it all, eh?I gotchu ^_~
Aieee! There's an errant comma chasing me. Heeeelppp!
Mod
Oh My...I didn't think they were such a problem. Maybe it's time we call the BPE (Bad Punctuation Eliminator). I'm afraid it might cost a little fortune, but one's gotta do what one's gotta do! :P
Mod
I say continue doing what you're doing. I'm sure you can take care of the problem by yourself. Especially that you have Jane pointing the runners and Annie slicing them. What more can a guy need? :)
I just saw your Bargain Booksy placement, Alex! Hope it goes well for you. :)

Congrats Alex!

I am catching up all over the place today! ... hi!
Alex wrote: "Since this is my thread, I figure I should introduce you all to my blog, where I put up all kinds of things: information about my books, posts about and from my fellow indie authors, reviews, rando..."Looks great, Alex! Good luck with getting the diagnosis you desire. :)
Alex wrote: "Thanks Jennifer, always nice to hear people like the way my blog looks, especially with visuals being so important."Perhaps sad that visuals are so important for getting people to look at our books (!!) but in this Twittery world, having a nice looking site does help tremendously.
Well done! It's always good to take a day off, guilt-free, to reward yourself for something like that.
I arrived last night and it's great! I'm so happy to be home.On days like that I tend to put on a movie in the background and do marketing stuff. Write blog posts, set up a queue on social media, do research, that kind of thing. It makes me feel productive, but I can chill out a bit more. I don't know if that will help.
Good luck! I found AskDavid was good for the freebie tweets. It got me a few downloads and then sales of my other stuff when I hadn't had a sale for a few days. I hope it all works out for you!
Good plan. I like that you can schedule them to get the maximum number of eyes on the tweet.
I'd like to read it, but you warned me it has violence against women and animals, which are two of my no-go zones in books. I'm too sensitive! I'm really sorry, but maybe one day I'll be able to!
Mod
Gotten and shared. Then I noticed this hahaha...haha...ha...I'm a creeper. x
Yeah, that's really annoying. If you could stop that'd be much appreciated.And my pleasure ^_~
Aiya, Mr Alex!!1) Congrats on the pre-order!
2) I'm a fan of disclaimers so I'd personally include it ^_^
3) More congrats!!!
Big hugs,
Ann
