Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁🌟
Now through January 1, 2026, get a copy of my eBook The Playgirl for half-off its original sale price! Far cheaper than a tiny cup of Starbucks coffee, and a lot more ethical as you’re supporting an independent artist with no corporate ties at all! Did I mention my work is also 100% free of A.I.? And racists and transphobes need not bother with my book; they’ll hate the hero. *hint-hint*
This sale is exclusive to Smashwords–nowhere else!
Some happy news for fans of The Playgirl: my eBook will be part of Smashwords’ Summer/Winter sale! Throughout all of July, you can get a copy of it for half-off its original sale price! (It’s fitting that the sale takes place on her birth month.) The sale is exclusive to Smashwords.com, and if you’re up for a good modern-day naughty, soap opera-esque drama that’s also LGBTQ+ & POC-friendly, get your copy today!
It’s still Saturday where I’m at (for a few more minutes), and guess whose book is currently in the Top 10 of Free LGBT Fiction books on Amazon right now? 😀 That’s its highest ranking among all the charts it’s been on since its release, by the way. (It’s also currently in the Top 30 of Free Women’s Fiction books.) Now to figure out how to keep it up there when the book goes back to regular price tomorrow…🤔
All the credit to @TheBookTweeters, Freebooksy, and The Fussy Librarian for all the book promo this past few days. And starting next month, I’ll be going exclusive with KDP Select. (It won’t be immediately on October 1st, despite what I may have said before, as I have to delist my book from other sites, and that could take a while.) I’m intrigued over the idea of earning coins from page reads there, and hopefully things work out from the exclusivity. To Draft2Digital, Apple Books, Smashwords, Kobo, and B&N, all my thank-yous, and adios.
Who wants a freebie? 😀 My work will be leaving Wide Distribution at the end of this month, as I’ll be going exclusive with Amazon’s KDP Select starting in October. (It’s temporary, but I’ll see how that works out for me for the time I’m with KDP Select.) For those who prefer getting their eBooks on non-Amazon sites, this is your last chance to get my book, and for free! (You can also get it at no charge on Amazon as well.)
This “Goodbye To Wide (Distribution)” sale (I know–not a catchy name) starts now and ends 11:59PM PDT 9/30/23.
Link to Amazon (and I finally got my first rating there, and it’s not a bad one, too!)
How do you like my mockup? 😁
Late night confession time…
So, I may be a writer, and have been writing for years. But I’m a rookie in this self-publishing game, and I must have misinterpreted some rules on Draft2Digital when I was originally publishing my eBook The Playgirl a few weeks ago.
Seeing this made me think, OK…so it’s either my eBook goes to just Amazon/KDP only, or I sell it to the other non-Amazon outlets. Wanting my book to be sold at many sites instead of going exclusive with Amazon, I chose the latter. Who knew I was making quite the rookie mistake? The more I read into where other self-published authors sold their books, the more I realized that, yes, you can do business with both Amazon and other non-Amazon outlets. I also realized how damn green I am with self-pub. In the words of thee Homer Simpson, “it’s my first day!”
Anyhoo, this Friday, you’ll be able to read The Playgirl on your Kindle, so place those preorders now! Also, for a limited time only, you can score my book on either Amazon or non-Amazon sites for only 99 cents! That’s cheaper than the stuff at Dollar Tree these days! 😆
