Lower Prices on Previously Released Titles

Hi, everyone! We're more than halfway through 2022, and I don't know where the time has gone. I'm excited to announce that I've lowered the prices on my previously released titles: Clingstone, Watermark, and The Pretenders. My books can be found exclusively on Amazon and have dropped from $2.99 per ebook title to $1.99. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I spend very little time marketing my books, and for that reason they're buried deep, deep, deep in the Amazon vault, with very little chance of a reader stumbling across them. I think I'm ranked in the 2 or 3 million sales ranking. Oh, the horror. Anyway, here's hoping my books will be available to more readers now with the lower prices, especially with how expensive the world has gotten lately. Escapism for under two dollars is what we all need in our lives! And in the spirit of fresh beginnings, I've revamped the covers for two of my titles, Watermark and The Pretenders. I used the same cover models but just freshened up the covers a bit. It's the curse of the creative artist's brain; I do the same thing in the other areas of my life. Repaint the walls, remodel the kitchen, landscape the yard over and over. So, in other words, I chase my tail a lot! But hey, it's all good. I hope you enjoy the revisions!

Freebies on Amazon, Including the One with the Sexy Hipbones

2/26/2022

0 Comments

 
Clingstone and Watermark are free on Amazon in the Kindle Store from midnight February 26, 2022, to 11:59 pm PST March 2, 2022. Get your free copies and enjoy! Did you know that Clingstone won a contest award, was also nominated for another award in the romance-writing community, and has received several rave reviews from romance blog sites? And although Watermark never finalized in any contests, it has also received positive reviews from several romance bloggers and readers. Also, just take a look at that gorgeous cover, folks! Apparently, Malcolm's exposed HIPBONES are too risqué for Amazon, because even though they allowed the cover, they've never allowed me to run ads because the cover portrays "explicit sexual content." Oh, brother. I've seen far more explicit covers on other authors' books, so I've never been able to understand why exposed hipbones are so inappropriate. I love his sexy hipbones and refuse to change the cover. Anyway, if you can dig through Amazon's filters and find it, do give Watermark a try!

I've entered The Pretenders in the first annual Vivian Contest sponsored by the Romance Writers of America, and in commemoration of the usual fluttery excitement/dread that goes hand-in-hand with entering one's book baby into any contest, The Pretenders is free on Amazon from midnight  January 2, 2021 to 11:59 pm PST January 6, 2021. Get your free copy and enjoy! There's a wintry chapter toward the end of the book that will make the current ice storm blanketing the Midwest look like child's play.

New SBTB Ad

If you're a fan of Smart Bitches Trashy Books, you might get a glimpse of a new ad campaign I'm running for Clingstone for the month of June. This was the first book I ever published, all the way back in 2016, and it remains close to my heart. It took years to research and boy oh boy was it a labor of love. After a decade or so of traditional publishing house rejections, I finally self-published and haven't looked back since. I hope you'll give Clingstone a try if you haven't already. Only $2.99 for 384 pages of award-winning adventure, heartache, hilarity, angst, and one very ornery little boy named Owen Scott. And all that is topped off with a very happily every after, naturally, so enjoy, folks!

Giveaways, Giveaways & More Giveaways!

First off, I just had to write a post today because this date is the first worldwide palindrome day in over 900 years. That's fancy speak for the date reads the same forwards and backwards, but I love little factoids like that, ergo the necessity for a post to commemorate this date in history! And there won't be another palindrome day this century, so if it buzzed by you without you noticing, you snooze you lose.

Speaking of snoozing and losing, I have a couple of great giveaways going on right now, so don't wait too long! Sign up on Goodreads for my Giveaway of Watermark, and then pop by my Contest page to sign up for a chance to win a digital copy of one of my books through Amazon. This contest will be ongoing with one winner selected per month, so you've got a pretty good chance to win! Happy Contesting and Happy Palindrome Day!

The Pretenders Paperback Coming Soon!

The Pretenders will be available soon in paperback format on Amazon! As you can see, the print version is nearly identical to the ebook version except for some additional artwork of Ivy and Shane on the back cover. I'll repost once it's live on Amazon!
​
Also, I spent/wasted several hours on Friday redoing my author photograph...I am now a cartoon!  I think it has an artsy, pop-art feel to it. I uploaded it to all the appropriate sites: Amazon, Goodreads, and the Romance Writers of America, so be on the lookout for my avatar. Like I said, wasted time, but it was fun!
