My book? … "Before, Afdre, and After (My stroke ... oh what fun)""When Maureen Twomey was only thirty-three years old, she experienced a massive stroke—one that took away her ability to read, write, walk, and even speak (AAAAAAAHHH!!). Well, she wasn’t about to go down without a fight. In Before, Afdre, and After, Twomey offers a sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes comical, and ultimately inspiring account of what it is to lose everything when you’re supposed to be in the prime of your life—and what it takes to get it back, piece by tiny piece."
(This book is humorous too?
Yes)

Sun and Moon have started pouting, she is yelling, he is shouting,
both declare and both protest,
"I'm the one who's loved the best!"
"Tonight," Sun so boldly claims,
"no one will take out my flames.
I will shine all through the night;
then you'll see that I am right.
But if I'm wrong, I'll be a wreck;
to the stars I'll have to trek.
The skies will have just one sole light:
a lonely moon, a darkened bright."

Here's a little bit about the book:
Garrett and Tiffanie Bate had it all—youth, money, and a perfect marriage. Until Tiffanie is killed in a suspicious accident. Neither the police nor the insurance investigators can prove she was murdered and the case turns cold.
Two years later the insurance company asks an intern—former college professor turned private eye Ray Courage—to reopen the investigation. He uncovers little new evidence to support suspicions that Garrett killed his wife for the insurance money. Garrett has the perfect alibi—hundreds of witnesses that place him more than two hours from the scene of Tiffanie’s death. Ray knows he’s missing something. But what? As his search for the truth unfolds, Ray’s life is put in jeopardy and he realizes his adversary is someone who’ll kill before he’ll be caught.
In this prequel to Courage Matters, Ray Courage begins his private investigation career, displaying the skills, abilities and sense of humor that have made him a fan favorite around the world.

just a thought!with the take up of kindle unlimited by so many people, does the free book as a means of promotion have any significance any longer?
faced with the choice of a free book or an unlimited one I always take the unlimited. it costs me nothing still but gives the author something for their trouble!

That is an interesting point, Charlie, I'd like to think that those who are signed up to kindle unlimited would rather use that to give something towards the author.
I'm going to shamelessly plug it in my next post but the book I uploaded Thursday has had one KU download as opposed to 63 free. I'm perfectly fine with this as I am not looking for money, this is just something I enjoy doing in my spare time and I'm hoping for reviews and feedback. I can't seem to find any numbers on how many subscribers are out there, but perhaps they aren't interested in books that are going free at the time. Any thoughts on the matter?
Gavin
gavin, I have one golden rule, no free books! I have never seen the point myself. I set my price and stick to it.subscribers to unlimited, well as you may have noted, amazon are throwing money at authors to subscribe to unlimited so I'd assume that its a lack of authors rather than sign-ups that's a problem.
I once pointed out to someone who was selling on amazon for $0.99 that if he put his books into unlimited he'd get far more than the $0.35 cents commission he was getting from a sale, and that he would get higher rankings and nil returns. he saw the light.
so no there are no reports on subscribers but from my own sales I'd say as many are now using koll as are buying now.
oh and gavin, if you post your book cover instead of all those links, the cover will take readers to your book on GR and thence onto their own particular country/ amazon sales point.free tip for you. :o)
To be honest I wanted to charge 99c/99p etc for the book because its, a) my first attempt, b) amazon wouldn't let me offer it for free, and c) I'm new to all this and don't have a clue what i am doing. But others advised me that setting such a low price point might make potential readers weary that there was no quality, so I stuck it at $2.99/£1.99 and then used the 5 day free promotion. Like i said, complete newbie here and I'm not expecting big money to suddenly come my way.I am enrolled in kindle select, and would be thrilled at people lending it, but only one person has been interested in doing so this early in the game.
Out of curiosity how long has your book(s) been enrolled in kindle select? And are you entirely against using free promotions?
Gavin
Out of curiosity how long has your book(s) been enrolled in kindle select? And are you entirely against using free promotions?Gavin
I put all my books in select and unlimited right from 2.5 years ago when I first self-pubbed. I now find that my sales to loans ratio is around 50-50.
yes 100% against free books, I sell at between £3 to $4.5 which is still pretty cheap in my opinion. it helps to recover my artwork costs if nothing else.
also use the community posts in the reports section to learn more about using amazon. its full of good advice.
Well that is a lot more promising than I expected, it's great going for you. How many books have you got out there?I've used a basic placeholder cover whilst the person I've contacted for a cover gets through their current workload, so I don't currently have any real costs to recover, but I think that is a fair price point you're aiming for.
I shall add the community posts to my must read list haha.

Gavin wrote: "Well that is a lot more promising than I expected, it's great going for you. How many books have you got out there?I've used a basic placeholder cover whilst the person I've contacted for a cover ..."
thirty five or six to date. I have up to now pubbed one each month but now I'm cutting back to every two months because sales have dropped lately.
I pay £88 per book for cover and setting up text. so I too don't expect a profit overall, but its nice too recover something.
Wow, that is an impressive workrate. Do you not find it a rush to get a new book out in such a short space of time?Also, I've only just now seen your tip about the book cover. Thanks for that, complete oversight from me though haha.
nope, my books are normally 100 pages long, 35000 words. I usually have the next one in my head while writing the previous one. I'm also retired so this is like my interest now. I write for about three hours a day but not every day, and usually when I'm online with my group on GR.

When Max Montgomery finds a car washed up on the river bank in the middle of a winter storm—the very same car his daughter disappeared in over three years ago—he has no idea that an unknown enemy lurks close by, waiting to strike. Desperate to find out what happened to his daughter, he approaches the vehicle and discovers an unconscious woman and a ferocious wolf inside. Locked somewhere inside the woman’s amnesiac brain are clues to what happened to her, and possibly Max’s daughter. Max intends to uncover the truth. No matter the cost.
After an online search of missing persons, they discover the woman’s name: Jennie Jones. And as evil creeps closer, Max begins to suspect this is not about Jennie—it’s about him.
Tormented by the past and his distrust of Jennie, Max fights his attraction to her, determined not to let her get too close. But he needs Jennie’s help to uncover the truth.
A truth that might well destroy him.

This New Adult romantic comedy is free until June 10, 2015! If you like the story, read it for free!http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XYEFFJ0
Sophie Rosenbaum and Anton Akhmerov have one thing in common: they can’t stand each other.
Sparks fly, tempers flare and cultures clash when the quirky Sophie is hired to become the PR assistant of the Russian Bad Boy of Tennis, a former world number 1 more famous for his fiery temper and for dating supermodels than winning Grand Slams. The Russian may just have met his match in the feisty Sophie... that is—if they don’t kill each other first.
Sophie Rosenbaum, a 21-year old former child prodigy and now Harvard dropout, wants to prove to everyone that she's "okay." Her plan: become independent from her well-meaning but smothering family by getting an internship at Bergstrom & Bergstrom PR, which coincidentally ran her stepfather's gubernatorial campaign. What she didn't plan on is the plot twist who walks right into her life (or rather, her psychotherapist brother's waiting room) in the person of Anton Akhmerov, more commonly known as The Russian Bad Boy of Tennis.
Anton Akhmerov, five-time Grand Slam champion (except for Wimbledon, which continues to elude him), seems to have everything—money, fame, and a supermodel girlfriend—except his ranking has fallen to 200 after a shoulder injury. The only thing he cares about is becoming number one again. His manager tries everything to help him get his head on straight: first there's psychotherapy to deal with his racket-breaking problem; and then there's that devochka, Sophie Rosenbaum, who thinks he's nothing more than an entitled, self-conceited jock.
They might be from different worlds, but as their paths cross, they find their lives inevitably changing in new and unexpected ways.
Book 1 of a new adult culture clash romantic comedy series written in a multi-POV he-said she-said style with the main protagonists and minor characters alternately telling their side of the story.

Hi - Just to let you know that the books 'Corpalism'
and 'Daydream Believers'
will be FREE from Amazon for Kindle/PC download from Tuesday 9th June to Saturday 13th June 2015, all I ask is that you kindly leave a review.Click this link for Corpalism and Daydream Believers on Amazon.Co.Uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_n...
Click this link for Corpalism and Daydream Believers on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...
To help you decide if these are your kind of books I've attached a brief description of each
Corpalism -
The first part is based in an economically dystopian future, a fast-paced thriller that moves in a believable way between fact and fiction, the second part plunges the unsuspecting reader into the distressed mind of Stephanie White a political activist from the new Independent party and victim of the latest terror atrocity locked in a coma fighting a trivial persona her mother has imposed upon her through years of brainwashing, whilst the third has several characters, including Stephanie and Donald from the previous volumes, in a pub arguing various topics from various points of view; the reader being left to decide which is valid. Part four brings all the threads together and the final part is set 20 years in the past.
Daydream Believers-
Revolutionary pensioners who are fed up with unchecked immigration and hell bent on removing corrupt politicians, sexually predatory murderous fat ladies, Machiavellian political intriguers, a mad-eyed Preacher trying to reach the souls of a disinterested public, a chivalric knight, men at work, an avenging 'hand of god', a celebrity 'golden' couple sleeping with everyone but their partner, jackpot winners and a homicidal diarist all combine to create an entertaining story of modern-day Britain.
If you know anyone else who might be interested please feel free to let them know.
Cheers
Arun
Free in Amazon!!! Captured in Time: A time travel romance Captured in Time A time travel romance by Stephanie Green http://amazon.com/dp/B00YHIZB2I
Jennifer Dickens's older sister is getting married, and her little sister is not her sister at all. As the small Southern town of Dixieville prepares for the Wedding of the Year, trouble-and some very juicy secrets-is brewing behind closed doors.
Lies are revealed, truths untold and past deeds, good and bad, come back to haunt the prominent Dickens family. Every Dickens has a secret or two, or maybe more. All, except straight shooter Belle Jackson, the real head of the Dickens household. Or, does she?
Everything every Dickens family member has ever hidden in the darkest reaches of their hearts and souls, comes emerging to sour Dixieville’s, and the family’s, biggest day of the year. From blushing bride Joelle’s urge to call off the wedding, to nine-year-old Jacie, Jennifer’s little sister (and her biggest secret), the blessed event could go to hell in a hand basket, if feisty ole’ Mama Belle can’t shut the drama down first.
All are invited to the hilarious and dramatic revelry in Mae Daniels’ Wedding Day Blues “Sistas”: A Southern Family Comedy. Tears and laughter included.
