April is going to be a busy month. Not only is it National Poetry Month, but the last books of my science fiction trilogy, The Final View, is coming out on April 17. In hindsight, I should have released it later, but there is a reason for the date I chose. On the Prime Reading front,Continue reading “Free Book Friday March 17: No Conversation but a free short story!”

Tuesday Tirade: In Praise of Amazon. Wait, What?! (Made you look. Now how about a cartoon a day early?)
No, I’m not going to go that far, but the Prime Reading situation has been rectified and The View from Here is now included in the amazon.com Prime Reading catalogue. Sure, it’s on the last page, but you have to start somewhere. What caused the issue? No explanation was given. Pi goes on forever, whichContinue reading “Tuesday Tirade: In Praise of Amazon.

Free Book Friday March 10: Freeders vs. Readers
A few months ago, I wrote about the marketing approach that many authors use to get readers to give their book(s) a chance: Free books, as opposed to discounted books, always get more downloads, although I have heard that many of those free books go unread or are forgotten. An indie author’s mailing list isContinue reading “Free Book Friday March 10: Freeders vs. Readers”
Tuesday Tirade: Amazon Prime Reading
Amazon Prime Reading. As I understand it, it’s the kinda the same as Kindle Unlimited but different. Kindle Unlimited is a paid monthly subscription where you can read as many (hence the ‘unlimited’ moniker) books as you want, the catch being that the books need to be enrolled in the KU program, which is dominatedContinue reading “Tuesday Tirade: Amazon Prime Reading”

Free Book Friday Feb 24: What Bugs you and a no spoiler book review (spoiler: I didn’t like it)
I’ll tell you what bugs me. Books that have stuff that doesn’t make sense. As a writer, I try my hardest to eliminate plot holes, inconsistencies, and continuity issues in my books. My beta readers have pointed out things that I wasn’t aware of, like having a character walk on sharp rocks in bare feetContinue reading “Free Book Friday Feb 24: What Bugs you and a no spoiler book review (spoiler: I didn’t like it)”

Free Book Friday Feb 3: Brrr…
Depending on where you are, you might think it’s cold, and depending where you are, you might be wrong … or right. What people can tolerate is relative to what they are used to, which is why when it hits the freezing point, out come the winter coats or the t-shirts. The first time itContinue reading “Free Book Friday Feb 3: Brrr…”
Free Book Friday Jan 27: Review copies are free books, right?
Why are there no new promos this week? If you are a reader, you might be asking that. Well, not that there is any reason behind it, but most month long promos start on, well, the beginning of the month, so, yeah, I guess that it a good reason. Easy to keep track of andContinue reading “Free Book Friday Jan 27: Review copies are free books, right?”
