Derrick the Dog Paperback Sale!
Hello Dear Readers, I was scheduling some posts this morning when I happened to notice that the good folks at Amazon have put the paperback version of Derrick the Dog on sale. Normally $6.99, they've shaved $2.44 off the price to drop it down to $4.55. That's a 35% savings! I don't know when they put it on sale or when they'll raise the price back up (they don't tell me these things), so act quickly to save a couple of bucks. Oh, and everybody who buys the paperback also gets the Kindle version for free! How'…
Now on Google Play
It took me awhile to get around to it, but I’ve finally started putting the books up on the Google Play store. They’re not all up there, but I have titles from both BD Crowell and D Lee Warren up, and I’m working on the rest, updating the back matter as I go. I’m updating the Library with links as they go live in the store. Just in the short time they’ve been up, with no advertising or fanfare from my camp, Google has already moved several copies. I’m excited and looking forward to what we’re going to accomplish together. Historical …
Merry Christmas!!!
Note: Not sure what happened. This was scheduled to go live on 12/25, but it never posted. So, I'll extend the freebie days through the end of the year. Now, onto the original post. Or happy whatever-you-happen-to-celebrate. At our house, it’s Christmas . If you’re exchanging gifts this season, then I hope you’ve been a good boy or girl and get to unwrap a shiny new ereader. If you have, then I have a gift for you, too. In honor of this gift giving day, I'm giving to you, faithful followers, the gift of free ebooks. …
My Top 6 Twitter Tips
I’ve been on Twitter for awhile, now. It’s probably the primary outpost in my hub and outpost model , which I’ve been using even before I knew what it was called. I’m on Facebook and GoodReads , also, but Twitter seems to be what I’ve taken to the most. Maybe because it’s so quick and easy. It’s simple to jump in and out of the conversation. But it took me awhile to learn some of the subtle uses of it. To spur you on your way to Twitter greatness, here are my top tips. Some of these may be author-specific, or at least specific to thos…
Get Derrick the Dog for Free in September!!!
Derrick the Dog (DtD) has been very well received. It's gotten some nice reviews, and it even made it all the way to the number one spot in one of the sub-genre's on Kobo . However, it hasn't gotten a lot of visibility. So, for the remainder of the month, I've marked the ebook price down to... FREE!!! The updated price should trickle out to retailers over the next few days. Unfortunately, I can't mark it as free at Amazon or Barnes & Noble , but in fairly short order, their bots should pick up the change and pri…
Is it art?
I was on deviantART this morning, perusing the What's Hot section of the front page. It's a nice mix of photography, digital art, photo manipulations , sculpture, etc. I like to keep up with what my peers are doing. Zentangle trio by Kyla Reese . Used with permission of artist. I clicked on http://www.deviantart.com/art/Magic-Dress-01-462682323 and was reading the comments. Within the comments, the photographer got into a heated …
