I’ve been tagged: Lucky Seven

by

I was tagged by fellow author Candice Bundy and even though I was safe on home base, I decided to play along. šŸ˜€

The rules for this one are quite simple:

  1. Go to page 77 of your current ms.
  2. Go to line 7.
  3. Copy down the next 7 lines/sentences, and post them as theyā€™re written. No cheating.
  4. Tag 7 other victims, ā€¦er, authors.

This is from my next book in the Shadow Quest series called Demon Retribution.

Enjoy šŸ™‚

Like some twisted pack of hyenas, a group of those spider creatures trotted into sight. There were four of them this time, and looked to be the bigger brothers of the one Cale had ripped to shreds.

ā€œRun,ā€ he growled at her, placing himself between her and the approaching group.

ā€œI canā€™t,ā€ she whispered, glancing back.

ā€œDamn it, do as I say!ā€

ā€œCale, there are two more behind us.ā€

He followed her line of sight and cursed.

Intense right? It get’s pretty dicey after that. So now I’m off to tag seven others.
*skips away with glee*

 

Win a Signed Copy of Demon Possession

by

In coordination with the lovely Rainy of the Dark, we are offering a free AUTOGRAPHED COPY of Demon Possession, book 1 in the Shadow Quest series. This giveaway is limited to the US. Enter below. Good luck !!! šŸ™‚

Excerpt from the book: Sebastian’s head swiveled between the two of them. Then his eyes dropped to her cheek, which made her notice the sting thereā€”she was probably bleedingā€”and then to her torn blouse. Only now did Xandar perceive Sebastian and he winced as he tried to straighten himself.

She felt the change instantly.

One minute there was Sebastian, and then, poof, something else entirely stood in his place. Only a second had passed for her to notice the energy shift, a thickening pulse that seemed to push out at her.

So fastā€”faster than even Calic movedā€”Sebastian had Xandar around the neck and slammed him against the wall with so much force that the metal let off a vibrating ring.

Amazon’s KDP Select

by

With an inordinate amount of trepidation, I clicked the button to enroll Demon Possession in KDP select. The trepidation was a result of the required three month, or ninety day, commitment. Once I clicked to enroll, I was informed that I have roughly three days to back out. So I guess that lessened the blow a little.

Why did I enter? Curiosity, for one. Would it hurt or help sales? For two. I recently had Demon Possession re-edited by Rainy of the Dark (who was my editor for Demon Slave), because, apparently my two previous editors had been inadequate. Now that I feel all the editing issues are resolved, Iā€™d like more reviews that arenā€™t tainted. I figure, the more people who read book one, the more people who will love it, and thus review it.

Getting my book off the other sites, which is one of Amazonā€™s conditions, was a bit of a pain. Especially Smashwords. I had to wait two months for the books to be pulled off of all the sites they published it on. But Iā€™m a silver lining kinda gal, and this turned out to be a good thing, because it gave me time to go through and fix all the little issues.

Amazon has done some wonderful things for authors that is quickly being taken for granted. I read blogs and forums grumbling with fears that Amazon is trying to stifle or screw indie authors, which is ridiculous. Indie authors have become a huge part of Amazonā€™s business model. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot? However, they are a big corporation, and profit is the bottom line. To expect otherwise would be idiocy.

Theyā€™ve provided a way for many, including me, and Iā€™m grateful for that. Iā€™m excited to see if Amazonā€™s newest endeavor will actually be a powerful tool for authors, or just a way for them to corner the market.
