Immortality: This is Probably a Novel. The world’s best kept secret: dare he tell her? 0.99 until 16th Aug. Also on KU

[Anna]

A collection of five short stories:

Deep in the World of the Dead – Former Army soldier, Ben, tries to settle into civilian life and moves to a new town to audition as a Big Band trumpet player. But when his housing arrangements fall through, he learns how easy it is to become homeless through no fault of your own.
Judge Not – You know what they say about assumptions. A holidaymaker in Italy makes the mistake of misjudging and is humbled when, at last, she discovers the truth.
Angela – Angels come in all shapes and sizes, and some of us have entertained them unaware. As the poet says, “God moves in a mysterious way”.
A Wonderful World – The loss of a loved one can lead to loneliness, but new doors open that can lift the spirits even for those who have been recently bereaved.
One Stolen Kiss – Set in 1814 England, this is a prelude to The Dark Moon Trilogy. Daniel, a key figure in the smuggling community, becomes aware of a girl who will change his life.

FREE for a short while and on Kindle Unlimited

Thanks, Alex.

I haven't advertised this with any marketing sites nor am I paying Amazon to give away this little book, so your help is much appreciated.

I've only mentioned it in a few GR groups - India for example late last night and you might like to know that I've had a rare download from India. It might be a good place to advertise freebies and hope they'll move on to your other books. Also India has Kindle Unlimited, though I don't think you are in that game.

[Anna]

Thanks so much Alex. I'd love to do that in future. My free one One Stolen Kiss and other short stories is only on for a couple of days more, so I won't bother you.

I'm at much the same stage as you are re seeking sites.

I've found Book Gorilla to be one of the best at the moment. You could try theereadercafe too, though I'm not certain how many books were sold through them. MyBookCave has been good too. You have to go through some hoops to be accepted because their readers choose books according to their grading of violence, swearing and so on. My smugglers are a rotten lot but they've still let me in.

I've used most of the others so often that I don't get much return. If you have a new book out, then you've got more choice.

[Anna]

I've also mentioned ebookstage on the 'Where can I promote my book' thread.

[Anna]

I think eBookStage returned about 15 sales and 1 paperback. Difficult to be accurate, of course. As this was a free ad - it certainly worked for me.

[Anna]

Even without qualifying for a free ad, it doesn't charge much, if I remember rightly.

[Anna]

It doesn't matter where you're from, you might be having to stay home or maybe your life has been turned upside down with this tricky Coronavirus. Well, here's something that might help with taking your mind off the troubles:

Amazon #1 Best Seller in Books>Romance>Time Travel
A time travel romance : Laura finds herself washed ashore from a shipwreck early in the 21st century - she'd stormed off from her betrothed in 1814 so she's somewhat confused as to how this could happen. She likes her new life but she realizes she has made a terrible mistake.

Meanwhile, Xandra even hates her name as well as all the other bothersome things of modern day life and Laura happens to notice this. Could she...? Yep, she could, and she does. Back goes Xandra to 1814 only to be met with suspicious travelling companions, a highwayman and a delicious man who is still mourning the death of the girl he loved.

How do these two cope with their puzzling new lives? And how does Laura manage not to upset the course of history despite her meddling? And oh boy can she meddle!

If you like a romance with a little bit of mystery, a touch of humour and something of the thriller, then please grab a copy and visit another time, another place.

0.99 until 26th March or FREE on Kindle Unlimited

I don't write children's stories but here's something from Eugenia Chu for those of you who have children at home most of the time now.

Ages 7-11
Brandon and his cousins are on a trip to visit their grandparents in Beijing, China! While bonding with family, practicing Chinese, touring historic sites and feasting on local dishes, Brandon thinks he sees a tiny panda. However, every time he gets close, the panda disappears! Is Brandon imagining this small creature, or is it real? Will Brandon find out before he has to fly back home?

I've read it myself and it's real cute (educational too).

A bargain book that's also free on Kindle Unlimited. Immerse yourself in another place, another time, and take your mind off the world's current problems.

It is 1821 and smuggling is rife on the English coast. Lucy Yorton, dragged away from her privileged early life, must slave on a bleak, run-down farm.

Then two men enter her life:-

Lieutenant Karl Thorsen, sworn to avenge the murder of his father, is a King's man. He is determined to hang the violent smugglers.

Daniel Tynton has smuggling in his blood. Undaunted by Thorsen's threats, he is respected and feared.

The choices we make determine our futures and Lucy is torn between two determined men as the secrets and lies undermining her life are exposed.

I don't write children's books so if you have little ones in need of some new stories, here's a good one from Erica Graham:-


Erica Graham - Talking Tales: Catch that Chinchilla. Suitable for up to age 8.

Oh no! The chinchilla has escaped! Can Fletch and his sister, Rachael, find the sneaky chinchilla before Dad gets home?

Review: "The atmosphere of the story is one of fun, and I found myself quite unexpectedly smiling throughout the entire story! I definitely enjoyed the massive shock and surprise at the very end of the tale and wholeheartedly recommend Catch That Chinchilla to young readers." - Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite

And you can have fun reading it to a child as it has lots of ch, ch sounds in it!

[Anna]

Can’t get to the seaside? Foreign travel out of the question? Perhaps reading a book set in a coastal location in the UK will help to spread your wings and bring you closer as you get lost in the story. If you have read One Dark Night, you might like the second book in the series



It is set on an island off the south coast of England. (It’s not essential to read Book One first but, like dinner, it’s often preferable to have the main course before strawberries and cream.)

A ruthless smuggler - The Dark Star - is confronted by Lieutenant Thorsen who is entranced by a woman 'owned' by him. The Dark Star takes his revenge.

And it is FREE from 2nd to 6th June. Of course, it’s always free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

I don’t write children’s stories and some of you may have children at home who’ve run out of good books to read. Here then is something from Carole P. Roman, an award winning author, whose first big book of silly jokes lives on my bookshelf for all visiting children. This is her second book and it looks like it is also going to get that best selling flag from Amazon.

[Carole]
