Author's Thread #12

[RJDiogenes]

It was the best of threads, it was the worst of threads. It was a dark and stormy thread. The thread was the color of a television turned to a dead channel. Call my thread Ishmael!

Okay, now that I've gotten us off to a good start, let's get posting!

I sent off my first round of edits. I suspect my editor and I shall do battle often as she loves adding had and I freaking hate that word.

[RJDiogenes]

I've had enough of it myself.

[blablover5]

My one book is off to line-edits, I should really start working on the sequel, and my short story was accepted into an anthology.

[RJDiogenes]

You're on fire. What's the anthology?

[blablover5]

Shifter Between the Sheets. It's what I wrote Reefcake for.

[RJDiogenes]

Apparently not up for pre-sale yet on Amazon.

[blablover5]

Oh no. It's not coming until November.

[blablover5]

I figure it's finally time to get the ball rolling on setting up a Street Team. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ellenmintstreet/ On Friday I'll send out a mass email to see who's willing to join up.

[RJDiogenes]

I'm certainly willing to join if it will help you. I can't promise to read everything. I'll more likely be able to check out the short stories.

I published Gettin' Lucky on amazon, but I need some help getting the price down to free.

Go to the page for it -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2R84HN then scroll down to the "Tell us about a lower price" and put in 0 and the link to it on smashwords. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/944207

Thanks for the help!

[RJDiogenes]

Okay, all set. But how can you make any money if it's free. I bought it before I submitted the link, so you'll at least get a few cents.

[blablover5]

It's my magnet book, and it was already in an anthology so this way it'll hopefully lead to people clicking to check out my profile and more books.

[RJDiogenes]

Sweet. I hope it works.

So, 'Catching Light' is up on Amazon, but I wonder where else I can put it, now I've converted it to mobi and epub. The Amazon T&Cs say the agreement is "non-exclusive", so I assume that means I can place it with other eBook publishers., I also want to place it with a print-on-demand publisher, as Amazon Aust don't do hard copies Down Under, and one would have to come from the UK at about $30/copy. Any thoughts about ebook publishers? I'm on a learning curve here, and I ALWAYS struggle with those.

Also have it in for review at a couple of Aust SF magazines.
