Awesome! I've just kicked off Nate and Day on freemium, hopefully someone will get to chapter whatever and feel the need to buy it without waiting a week. If I only get people waiting a week for each chapter I'm using premium for everything else I write!

[Erica]

Best of luck Amy!

[Erica]

And congrats Aislinn!

*Doing a happy dance* My interview with Reading with your Kids podcast just went live! The actual interview starts at about 09:50. Here it is if you are interested: http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/i...

[Carole]

Shared, Nice interview.

[Angel]

Awesome interview. Congrats Carole! Shared.

[Erica]

Wow Alex! Fantastic! Wishing you continued progress with your sales. :)

[Carole]

Love hearing that!!! Maybe they heard us shouting about how great it was on the show!!!!

[Carole]

Great news, Alex.

I want to announce when I loaded my manuscript Bulwark, on Radish- I put two very different endings. One a HEA and the other very dark. I wonder how it will be received by readers. lol

[Carole]

hahahha. I hope so, Alex. Either way, I'm having fun genre jumping.

[Aislinn]

Congrats Alex! That's fabulous news!

[Carole]

Check out the giveaway on The Children's Book Review. Bianca Schulz does it right!

Children's and YA authors- this is a great site with lots of followers.

Hurray Alex and Carole!

I've been releasing the beta version of my sequel to fan volunteers in chunks that I'm calling "episodes" and I'm loving the feedback I've been getting. Some of the stuff is very helpful but my favourite is just the comments that say "Nooooooo!!!!" or "Next episode please!!" It feels so good.

[Amy]

Everyone is doing very well. Keep it up.

[Amy]

Hmmm. I don't sell books. I can give them away for free OK. I sold a copy of Nate and Day to a friend as an ebook on 27th July. I require book sales before I consider I'm doing well.

[Amy]

I hope you're right.

[Carole]

Amy, the sales will come.

I love that idea, CL. I think it's so much fun to watch your work being appreciated the way you'd like it to be. I love when the characters become real for people and they are engaged enough to write and say MORE~!!!

[Elina]

Alex, that's amazing! Congrats!

[Elina]

I don't know if this belongs here, but I'm so excited and happy! I discovered the perfect person to do the cover for my book. It was a bargain and it's a really nice cover. :)

Tonight I'll send my MS to my editor.
First time ever! I can't believe I actually did it - I finished the MS.

I'm excited!!!!

[Carole]

Great news, Elina.

It's so exciting and I'm all bouncy and restless and can't concentrate on anything else. :D

[Nat]

I have a small press book out and it's on a big promo right now and I've hit 29 in it's genre, beating out Joe Abercrombie, and VE Schwab, and Stephen King, and Diana Gabaldon. It's got me quite buzzy. Though, I don't think I've had that many sales.

It's hard to promo the small press/trad book because I'm not in control of anything, not the price or what not. I asked my publisher to drop the price to 99c for the promo and he agreed. And he has to report to me how many I've actually sold.

But, it's exciting to see my ranking drop.

[Erica]

That's great Nat! Take a screenshot. ;)

[Carole]

Great Nat!!

[Nat]

I did take a screenshot. *blushes* Seems silly, but I'm still mighty pleased.

[Carole]

It does feel good.

[Erica]

No judgement here. I do the same thing. :) Gives me a boost when I am feeling in a slump with my books.

[Nat]

I just hit 20. I'm on the FIRST PAGE for my genre. WEE!!!

*takes another screen shot*

Yeah, I shall cherish these when shots when I'm slumping. Thanks for the tip, Erica. Thanks for the support, Carole!

[Erica]

Woo hoo! Way to go!

[Carole]

My pleasure, Nat. It's really exciting to watch it happen for anybody.

[Aislinn]

Angel, the smaller the ranking, the better. So if you rank 1,000 it's better than 1,000,000. It's where you book sits on Amazon's popularity out of all the books they have listed on there, with #1 being the best.

Hope that helps!

Ok, Thanks Aislinn. I was just wondering.

That's awesome, Alex! Congrats.

Can you guys share?

[Carole]

Thanks Alex- I'm pretty proud of them.

[Carole]

;)

[Erica]

Shared, Carole!

[Carole]

Thanks, Guys! Erica you should write this person- She might be interested in your books. Watch for my name in the next few weeks. 100 homeschoolers will be reviewing all my books. It will be a good source for children's books authors to write and pitch their books.

Wow! It doesn't get any better than this. Congratulations, Carole.

[Carole]

Thanks Ted. Just wanted to share with all the folks on Radish. I spoke to them about reviews and they suggested to ask for readers to leave them on Goodreads on the authors notes at the end of each chapter. I put a little note in but just on my last chapters.
