I
am afraid that the blog has been severely neglected of late. So much
going on, change of publisher, manuscripts to adjust, edit etc.
As
from the 17th April 2016 I no-longer have any connection with
Creativia, our working relationship had run its course, and it was
time to move on!
The
majority of my books are now published through Pronoun. I feel that
they offer a very good service as a one stop self publishing aid.
They
offer rank / sales tracking on Amazon.com (for any book!), but what
is most impressive... when asked for key search words, selection of
genre, Pronoun has a facility to highlight the most suitable genres
and most commonly searched keywords, which takes a great deal of
guesswork out of the publishing process and product positioning.
In
addition, from cover and manuscript submission to actual publication
on Amazon, (based on the publication of several books) it generally
takes around 5 hours to go live. (also 5 hours for Kobo, similar for
iTunes, a little longer for Google Play, and about 10 days for B&N
Nook) With Lulu, (who are also very good), from submission to actual
publication on Amazon has been taking 10 to 14 days.
Because
of the change in publisher, Traffik: The Stolen Girls has been issued
with a new Amazon ASIN (B01EGC638U), which
has sadly erased its former bestseller ranking, so now, rather than
hovering between #20 and #100 it has disappeared into the millions of
unranked books that make up the vast majority of Amazons listings...
Call
to Action:
Just
a few sales, especially when occurring on the same day, can make a
massive difference to a books ranking... and with this in mind, I am
asking a huge favour.
If
you enjoy contemporary fiction, stories of hardship and suffering
that make you angry, stories of redemption and victory that will make
you cheer. Then you will enjoy Traffik: The Stolen Girls, the tale of
four innocent girls stolen from their homes and forced into a life of
degradation. Learn about their former lives, journey with them as
they are trafficked into Spain, and find out if they can ever escape
and make their way back home.
Traffik
is for sale now at only $2.99 (about £2.00) See it on Amazon
If
you are looking for a 5 Star rated bestseller, maybe something a
little different to read, why not download Traffik now! Please help
me to get the top 100 ranking back. If you can't buy now, then please
consider reposting this message to your own network... please help me
to spread the word.
Two
other books have also been republished:
Peninah's
Passion, a spicy interracial romantic adventure. The story of a
couple (bwwm) who find themselves caught up in a police investigation
into a Colombian drug cartel. They find themselves on the run pursued
by a hired killer, but what is of greater concern to Peninah... her
past is beginning to catch up with her, and she worries that her
unadventurous husband Alex will not understand her true nature and
need for fetish.
Amazon
have listed the book, (once again) under Erotica... and to be honest
I'm not fighting their decision any more, for a year and a half I
have been struggling to keep it in Romance. All that I will say is
that while the book does feature some decidedly naughty scenes, it is
definitely not erotica.
(It's
rather ironic that at the same time I have struggled to keep Traffik
out of the Romance genre. Abduction and forced
prostitution are not exactly romantic subjects!)
The
Fountain of Saba has also been republished. The first book in my
Ayana Regassa Adventures series. (Tokoloshe – the second
part is already published.)
A
spiritual adventure set in the Highlands of Ethiopia. Ayana Regassa
is a researcher and historian, and she has a theory, an
unconventional idea that few are willing to consider.
She
wants to prove the existence of Makeda, the legendary Queen of Sheba,
and to do so she must track down mythological sites, many of which
are mentioned in the Prester John Letter. With the backing of a
wealthy German industrialist she assembles a team of experts, but
little does she know that her infirm benefactor has another agenda,
and he seeks far more than historical proof.
Here
are the new Amazon links for all three books.
