I have three more followers this week. Thank you for following me. I sold 51 books and looking to sell more.
I just finished a Give-away on Goodreads where 615 people requested The Six Loves of Jack Brown and 100 people received a free E-book. I hope one of you are a winner. There are four people currently reading The Nonentity and three reading The Six Loves of Jack Brown. I am looking forward to their rating and possible review of the book. As I said in the past, writing is a lonely occupation where I do not get to see people enjoying my work. Rating and reviews are the only method of seeing people’s reaction to my service.
I am still reviewing marketing videos and am getting some ideas useful for promoting my book. Having followers on Goodreads is one of the keys that come through on almost every video. This is why I thank my followers first and foremost. I have given up on Facebook ads because I get a lot of clicks but not many sales. Perhaps when the book sells more copies, I will return to FB ads. Likewise, amazon advertising doesn’t have a good return on investment. I think both might do better with a larger budget, but I don’t have the budget at this time.
One of the best marketing tools discussed among the videos is work of mouth. That is getting my followers to help me by suggesting to their friends. Please help me by creating a discussion about my books.
The Genuine Daughter is nearing completion after seven concept drawings for the cover. The artist is formatting the cover and should have to me shortly. Then I will submit it to KDP and finalize the book. It will take about a week to get a proof copy and another week for me to review it. The end of October is still looking like the publish date.
The Fighting Son, the third in the trilogy is finishing the writing portion. I was working on the back cover blurb this week and I am terrible about being brief. I posted it on Reddit where I had several people help me finalize the blurb. I am sending out to my editor next week. I hoping to have it published sometime in December, maybe ready for Christmas.
