Happy New Year

Bit late with this, but it’s still the first month of the new year.  Happy New Year all!

As usual, remember, Alyssa can be purchased at Amazon.co.uk HERE and at Amazon.com HERE

So, a lot has been happening in the last few months.

With book 1 out and launched, I spent most of the last few months of 2021 pitching Alyssa and hoping for sales.  I did indeed get sales but not as many as I had hoped.  Still, I learned a lot.

All of January I ran a series of Amazon free book deals for all 3 of my other books. I likewise advertised on Facebook and A LOT on Twitter.

The results were mixed.

On the one hand, I sold over 200 ebooks (as in they were picked up free.) And also a few people downloaded my books on kindle unlimited, reading well over 500 pages.  Additionally, my work on Twitter raised my follower count to nearly 4400.  And this time, not all of them were other authors!

But so far I’ve only seen 1 ebook purchased and no copies of Alyssa seem to have sold yet. I had hoped that purchases of the other books would in turn make people curious about book 1.  Still learning experience.

I intend to use February to concentrate solely on pitching Alyssa, but also, I hope to write book 5.

Yes, book 5 is officially being written!  I have a new idea on an old story plan and am now modifying and improving it.  A couple of thousand words already.

If I can maintain momentum, I hope to release it sometime toward the end of 2022 but I will see how things go.

Anyway, that’s my brief blog update.

Take care all of you.

For those who have been following my social media accounts, you’ll have noticed I’ve been busy.

So yeah, all my books are now available in both eBook and paperback

What happened back in the day is that I did have Alyssa, Kalla and Shade (my first 3 books) in paperback via Amazons ‘CreateSpace' platform. This worked for a spell, but there were 2 big problems.

First was that whilst the first 3 books were in paperback, my fourth book ‘Anna' was not. In addition, due to the way I formatted the books, they came out very big and expensive to produce. Hence, not a lot of them sold.

However, now all that has changed.

I have been able to use Amazon KDP to reformat the original paperbacks and also set up a paperback version of Anna.

As a result, all 4 books are now available alongside the recently republished Alyssa in a similarly size format.  And better priced.

 

You can now buy all 4 books in paperback and they will look pretty good on your book shelf!

Enjoy!

Another model I'm hoping to paint soon. He shall be my "pirate Captain" villain!
