Start reading the DMB Files for only $0.99.

For the next few days, May 1st-3rd, DE NOVO SYNDROME will be available for $0.99. This three day sale is in celebration of the release of Desert Gods, the second novel of the DMB Files. So why $0.99 instead of free? Well, for a handful of reasons, free promotional events are losing their effectiveness. They no longer drive books up the rankings in ebook stores like Amazon, etc. And in most cases, the readers who are uploading free books tend to read only free books. In other words, they would prefer to wait around until the next book in the series is offered for free, rather than going out to buy it. $0.99 is the new free!!!

So, on that note…

DE NOVO SYNDROME will be on sale for $0.99 May 1st-3rd!!!

Available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Kobo Books. If you insist on paying the full $2.99, just wait until May 4th! The sale is for ebooks only, but De Novo is available in paperback as well, from Amazon.

BookBub is one of the key sites that will be advertising this promotional. If you are constantly looking for books on sale for cheap or free within your favorite genres, I recommend signing up. They will send you a daily email with the books that fall within your perimeters. I have found the site to be a quality, professional service.

Finally, you can always spread the word about De Novo Syndrome to anyone else you think would be a fan. (just share this post!) Keep your fingers crossed that this promo will be the perfect boost for the expanding series. Above all, enjoy the show!

Barnes and Noble has finally replaced their modest (I’m being kind) self-publishing platform with an all new and better titled one. Thus Nook Press enters the world about one year too late.

Congratulations, B&N. You have finally produced a practical and functional pubbing platform. Don’t pop the cork. I still like Kobo’s Writing Life and Amazon’s KDP better. But at least you’re in the same ballpark…finally.

I attempted to update a price on one of my titles today using Nook Press, and it actually seemed to work. That’s an improvement from the last couple of times I tried and failed with Pubit! (And now the name of your platform doesn’t sound like a frog vocalization!) [Read more...]

Just for Fun!

In a manner of speaking. Even more exciting, the DMB Files universe is expanding into young adult dystopian literature (similar to The Hunger Games) with my latest project, The Green Ones. For those of you who are new to the DMB Files, or have lost track (I’m shifty, I’ll admit), The Green Ones marks the third separate series of stories colluding within the same fictional universe (alongside the DMB Files and the Lost DMB Files).

While the Lost DMB Files sport a pulpy/punk flavor and range between 1912 and 1930, the DMB Files take on a sci-fi/fantasy thriller edge and push into the near future. Soon these two series will be joined by a dystopian crossover serial. The Green Ones will run concurrently with the DMB Files, but…with a twist. (Sorry, I’d hate to spoil the surprise for you. But if you’ve read De Novo Syndrome and Desert Gods, you know where this is going.) Here is a bit more as far as product description for The Green Ones: [Read more...]
