First KDP Promotion for Tied
I wrote back in November 2015 that I don’t like free promotions. Well six months later, I’ve changed my mind. Here’s why.
Hope and disappointment
What new novelists (and seasoned ones too, I’ll bet) haven’t thought at least once how nice it would be to have their newest book become a bestseller right off the hop? I know I have.
Alan Moore on writing and publishing
A while a go I wrote about whether being self-published is the same as being published. The next question I ask myself on a regular basis is: am I a writer? Are you?
Shifting priorities
I’ve been going hard on the social media and blog posts for the past six months. It’s taking its toll on me. Here’s what I’ve decided to do.
Tied is now available!
She would kill for a better life… Rejected by her older sister’s gang, a teen-aged girl from a troubled home joins a rival gang and fights for her own place on the streets of South Los Angeles.
My second novel begins
After spending months in production and promotion mode, I am finally beginning my second novel. It’s great to get back into it, but will I do things differently?
Sales statistics, a good thing?
Now that I have my first novel Tied published as a paperback and ebook, I can see sales statistics coming online. But is that a good thing?
Am I “published” or published?
When I mention that I self-publish my novels, my credibility as a writer in the eyes of others seems to take a hit. At least that’s what it feels like sometimes.
Using lyrics in my novel
There’s nothing wrong with using a line or two from a song in my novel, I thought. Fair use, and all that, right? Wrong. Dead wrong.
Start as I mean to finish
As I venture forth into self-publishing, I need to wear many hats. The question remains: What if I’m not good at a particular skill?
