Staged Release of Books
One of the pieces of advice authors are given is to release all the versions of their book at once, to maximize the promotional power given by a new release. I’m going to disagree.
As an independently published author, I’m responsible for all my promotional efforts. I place the ads, I write the copy for my email newsletter, I post on my social networks. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with something Read more of this blog post »

clever mystery I always enjoy books that can teach me something in the course of an exciting plot, and this one did the trick. So many interesting things to learn! And two great characters to follow as I did so. |

Fast-paced and sexy Emma Jaye knows her Formula 1, and she knows how to keep a reader turning the pages, from the race scenes to the sex scenes. It takes a while for Karl and Dren to get together, but when they do it’s explosive. |

“On my way to the parking lot, in quick succession, I saw students wearing t-shirts which read, “Save the whales. Collect the whole set,” “Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now,” and “Half the people you know are below average.” Typical for the Eastern student body.”

Neil,Thanks so much for your friendship on GR:)
Regards,
Colton T. Freelove
I'm honored to be on your favorites list. Thank you.James Thompson
Hi Neil. Thanks so much for Friending me here. Lovely to catch up with you. How's the writing going?
Congrats on the release - it posted a little early. I've been waiting for this one.
Will do, Lori, once it's available at Amazon (in about a month or so). Right now it's only at the Loose Id website.
Neil, congrats on the new release! Gonna add it to Goodreads? :)
Thanks so much! I love Liam and Aidan too and am always glad to hear that others do! The third book in the series, Teach Me Tonight, sends them on assignment together to a summer study program in Bizerte, on the Mediterranean coast, to protect a student who has been threatened. Aidan rediscovers how much he loves teaching, and Liam's friend Joey shows up... leading to all kinds of complications! It's in the copy edit stage now so should be out in the next month or two.Best,
Neil
thank you so much for the friend acceptance Mr. Neil :)Tame
Hi Neil, thanks for the donated books for the contest at ebookaddictreviews! I won a few I wanted to read! Lori
