Did you get a new ebook reader for Christmas? Or are you just looking for new content to read on an old reader? He’s With the Band has always been free, but from now to 1 January my other two ebooks are on sale as part of the Smashwords End of Year Sale. more “My ebooks are on sale”
Last year Smashwords, my ebook distributor, had their annual July Summer/Winter Sale and I put my non-free books on sale at half off. It’s that time of year again, and once again my non-free ebooks are half off. more “It’s time for another Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale”
I use Smashwords to distribute my ebooks, but there’s always been one store that’s been missing: Google’s Play Store. After several requests to Smashwords about the problem with no response, I went ahead and put my ebooks on the Play Store myself. more “My books are now in the Google Play Store”
Last week I was thinking it should be getting time for the 2015 Smashwords Read an Ebook Week and sure enough, when I checked my email this morning I see that it started yesterday. Read an Ebook Week is a promotion my distributor, Smashwords, runs every year to encourage people to read ebooks. Many Smashwords authors put deep discounts on their ebooks with some making their ebooks completely free. As I did last year you can get my two non-free ebooks at a 50% discount. more “It’s Read an Ebook Week!”
From the “I Couldn’t Do that Again If I Tried Department”, I was checking my weekend download numbers and sales stats this morning when I checked the overall rank for Somewhere… and More on Amazon and had to stop and grin.
I’m not grinning because of where it falls on the chart, mainly because it’s been a lot higher, but because of the last two sets of numbers. In the fourteen months that I’ve been a published author I’ve never seen a number where the digits on one side of a comma match the number on the other side of the comma.
I just had to share this. I’m still working on the rewrite of He’s With the Band but since I only have access to a laptop when I’m at the library every day I end up with a lot more to do every day than I have time to do and I have a new scene for the story to type up and I’d swear I hear the notebook the new scene was written in yell at me every time I look at it. Hopefully Santa Claws will leave a laptop and some catnip under the tree if I still don’t have a laptop by Chrismukkuh.

That song by Dinah Washington got cued up in my head as I was checking the stats on my books today. Not only have I seen He’s With the Band downloaded 80 times just this month, over the weekend someone bought Somewhere… and More over at Amazon. Of course that’s good news but I didn’t realize how much difference a single sale would make in my stats in the Kindle Store. How big a difference? Wow. more “What a diff’rence a day made…”
Two weeks ago I posted that my ebooks are half price 
for the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale. But I was thinking about it yesterday after I logged off for the night and decided to give my readers an even better deal than half off. How about free? more “Get all my ebooks for FREE!”
Back in March Smashwords, my ebook distributor, ran their annual Read an Ebook Week promotion and I made two of my ebooks half price for the occasion. I didn’t see the notice about it yesterday it this morning I learned that they have a Summer/Winter Sale every July to help people find ebooks they didn’t know they’d love, and as with Read an Ebook Week many of the ebooks on Smashwords are discounted if not completely free. Once again you can get my ebooks at a 50% discount but instead of just being for a week it’s for the entire month of July! more “Are you ready for another Smashwords sale?”
A week ago I posted that my ebooks were available on Blio but I didn’t have direct links to my books there. Thanks to the help of Raylene at Smashwords I have direct links for you, plus you can now find my ebooks on yet another store: ‘txtr! more “I have fixed links for Blio and I’m now available on ‘txtr!”
I just wanted to post a quick note to say that my ebooks are now available on Blio! It’s one of the latest stores that Smashwords has gotten my ebooks into. I’ll update the individual book pages soon but I did want to give everyone the links to each ebook on the newest store to carry my ebooks. more “Quick Hit: My ebooks are now available on Blio!”
