My Sale on The Fire-Moon . . .
. . . raised twelve dollars, so I just sent that off to Oxfam. I realize that doesn’t sound like much, but I’m not an established author and twelve sales is actually quite a lot for me. Hopefully, twelve dollars will buy a bit of bottled water and make someone’s life easier.
Sale Announcement
I’ve just put The Fire-Moon up for sale on Smashwords and Amazon. (The price change on Amazon may take a while to go into effect; if it isn’t ninety-nine cents, check back later.) For the next five days, while the sale lasts, all the money from the sale will go towards Oxfam’s hurricane Irma and José relief program, which specifically mentions the Dominican Republic and Haiti as areas that they’re concentrating on. They’re working on clean water and sanitation, two pressing needs in the wake of the storms.
For those who haven’t been following my publishing saga, The Fire-Moon is a quasi-Egyptian fantasy featuring a girl named Teshar, who may be the only person who can stop an evil sorceror. The two reviews I have so far have both been four-star. Here’s the one from Goodreads: “Lyra Belacqua meets The Mummy. This novella had some unique world-building and a strong female protagonist. This left me wanting to read more about Teshar and more about the Khemtesh empire. If you’re looking for some dark sword and sandals action, this is it.“
Reminder
The Fire-Moon is still for sale for ninety-nine cents to benefit hurricane victims. You can find it at Smashwords or Amazon.
It’s a Egypt-inspired fantasy with all PoC characters and a female lead. You can see a blurb at either of those links, and probably read a bit of the book through the preview feature. Drop by and see if you like it.
Final Reminder Post
My novella The Fire-Moon is for sale for ninety-nine cents to benefit Hurricane Irma victims. You can find it at Smashwords or Amazon. I’m going to end the sale tonight around eleven, when I (theoretically ought to) go to bed. So, basically, last day of the sale! Go consider buying, if the story matches your tastes! (I’m rotten at being a pushy salesperson, can you tell?)
Just noticed I had a review on Goodreads
A good review, for The Fire-Moon. Four stars, and it credited me with "some unique world-building and a strong female protagonist.” Whee!
(For people who are not tired of my endless self-promotion, the book is here. Or here. The review is here—scroll down.)
The Fire-Moon Is Live On Amazon
For $1.99, which means I’m only getting thirty-five percent of the royalties for it, so I’d encourage you to buy it on Smashwords instead if you have a choice—still. Here it is, and any sales are deeply appreciated.
I know that on Smashwords and any of the stores that got it from Smashwords, like Apple and Barnes & Noble, you can download a free sample. I think that on Amazon, you have to leaf through and read it online, but there’s still some ability to preview the book before you decide to by it. I encourage everyone to do that. And, of course, if you want more samples of my writing, there’s “Quantum Writer” and there’s my fanfic, which reminds me that I’ve got to move another story over to AO3 this morning. Anyhow. Enjoy.
I feel like I should point out . . .
That you can download the first part of The Fire-Moon as a free sample. (If this is not working, message me and I’ll fix it.) But anyhow, the point is, you can read the first part of the story for free and figure out if you like it or not.
Given the number of people who downloaded Quantum Writer, I feel that “free stuff” is probably a pretty popular option. (Although I still need to figure out how to get more people to see my stuff. Maybe I’ll see if facebook ads are remotely workable . . . I dunno.)
The Fire-Moon up for pre-order at . . .
. . . Barnes & Noble and Kobo, as well as Smashwords, which is sort of the hub I’m releasing it from. Still unsure about Apple, which is not cooperating with my searches, and Scribd, which requires a subscription. Still, this makes me happy. More distribution channels, yay!
