I've already moved mine from Createspace to KDP Paperback. It was a smooth transition. So I was glad about that. I thought it would be a hassle.

Missing Remnants now has two 5* reviews on Amazon. I’m really thrilled. :-)

Carole’s review takes me up to three so far. Thank you Carole. That’s almost the most I’ve ever had! I sold a book on Kobo the other night to someone who must have been desperate or clicked buttons by mistake. That one was a direct result from the Twitter promo I’m running with Books and the Bear. I’m getting clicks on my AMS adverts but no sales.

It's a great book, DJ

Nice one, Eldon!

Excellent, let me know when I can get it at the Kindle store. And don’t wear out Stone too much, he sounds out of breath.

Oooh there were title options. I missed that. I like 1 or 4.50k is still longer than Missing Remnants. I like short books. I have the attention span of gnat. (Do they have short attention spans?) My latest book may just scrape into the novel category. If not, it'll be a novella.
I have ordered Poetic Justice using my brand new Kindle Voyage. I hope to get some reading done this summer.
I buy all your books. The theory is one day I'll get around to reviewing them on Amazon and we know how tricky that process can be. I don't think I have read that one, have I? Isn't that the sequel to book 1 WHICH I HAVE STARTED NOW (Insert Fanfare Here)
Why thank you very much, I'll have another one for you to buy very soon. Well, within six months I hope.I've actually started reading about six books this year. I've finished none of them, not because I couldn't get on with them, purely because I haven't yet justified the time to read them. I'll get there. Oh I lie, I finished your fourth. There. I finished one. Yay.
Just got Poetic Justice, Alex. Looking forward to reading it!

shared. That title is priceless.
Thsnks. I had to write it down quick before I forgot it. I don’t get much warning lol.
Congrats to all on their success big and small. Earlier this month I did take part in a local Sexual Prevention Awareness Walk in which I was also asked to read a poem from my new book in which I had donated a copy to the local shelter. It went well. No increase in sales but I am happy that I took part in such a great cause.Most recently I was a Guest Blogger for another blogger/author's website. She told me she will post my piece next Saturday. Will share the link when it is up.
I am hoping to eventually land a writing job so hopefully this will be something I can use to help me accomplish my life long dream. I have submitted an application to one online magazine but no word yet. Looking for more job openings dealing with remote writers with the freedom to write on a variety of topics.
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!
Good luck, Kimberly. That last sentence looks like an interesting way to make a few extra pence/cents.Not for me, though, I'm plugging on with novels, as I take too long to write them!

Welcome to your weekly round-up from the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi)'s self-publishing advice blog. See below for news, views and advice, freely brought to the indie author community by the ALLi blog each day.
I also wanted to let you know about a fundraiser for a cause that's dear to my heart. Here in the UK, government cutbacks are closing libraries against the will of local communities. My local library was saved, against all odds, but it now needs to be kitted out and filled with books, and I'm doing a fundraiser: a reading, interview and Q&A with author, Zadie Smith. The event will be recorded and available online and there are two aspects that might be of interest to you.
1) We're running a literary lottery. You could win a full manuscript evaluation and publishing plan from me (value £950) for the cost of a £15 ticket. Further details here.
2) We're running a literary auction on the night in which we'll offer free books and other book-related goodies. If you'd like to promote your wares to an engaged audience of writers and readers, in London and online, send your offer to sarah@ornaross.com.
