I know my progress on The Second Beast has been agonizingly slow, but I am making progress and thought I’d share a small treat with you today: the back cover text.
I hope you enjoy.
All in Ramblings
No matter how carefully you plan, prepare and execute, you don't really know how the story will unfold until you wade in waist deep. Things that look and feel ideal in the beginning of the project reveal themselves to be the wrong direction once you actually get to them.
In June, I ran my second Kindle Unlimited Countdown deal, where His Name Was Death was $0.99 for a week. I got a little bit of a sales boost as a result, but that boost didn't last after the sale.
It's almost that time again.
That's right. It's been almost three months since my last KDP Countdown deal. Within the next few weeks, I'll drop the price of "His Name Was Death" to .99 cents for one week.
Got another great question today from a fan on Goodreads
Do the characters ever just talk to you in your head? Like say no thats not what I am going to do I want it to go this way?
Not exactly.
A fan on Goodreads recently asked me if I was going to release His Name Was Death as an audiobook.
The short answer is: no, there are currently no plans to make an audiobook for His Name Was Death.
The long answer is: no, there are currently no plans to make an audiobook for His Name Was Death, but I'd love to.
Another month has drawn to an end. April was the first full calendar month in which His Name Was Death was available for sale. For those keeping track, my debut novel was first available on March 13th. In the month of March, I sold 40 eBooks, 2 paperbacks, and had 16,815 pages read through Kindle Unlimited (for roughly another 35.8 copies).
The outline for The Second Beast is progressing. Outlining is always slow, probably because it's my least favorite part. I love writing, but hate planning. However, without the planning, I wouldn't produce a high quality, highly polished book.
The eBook of His Name Was Death has now been available on Amazon for one whole month (3/14/2016 - 4/13/2016), so how is it doing?
The Goodreads giveaway is done! 540 people entered, far more than I expected. 5 people won.
If you didn't win, but still want a copy of the book, the eBook is now on sale for $0.99. Grab your copy before the price goes back up!
I'm somewhere around 200 books sold now (if you count Kindle Unlimited page reads). I've got twelve reviews on Amazon, all very positive. I have four reviews on Goodreads and six positive rankings. It was only a matter of time before someone didn't like my book.
I'm sitting here, way too late on a Saturday, working feverishly on getting jehance.com up and running. My first book, His Name Was Death, is a couple weeks from publication, and I'm really looking forward to unleashing it upon the world.
That's all for now, but I hope to be sharing a lot more soon.
