Ebook booster. I read about this over at J.A. Konrath’s blog ages ago. It’s only for free books, so I’ve never actually used it before. It costs $40, which is hella cheap as far as promotion goes. They submit your free book listing to a whole bunch of places and save you the time. So […]
Before we move into today’s post, I wanted to announce the WINNER of our little big of flash fiction FUN from the other day. Bragging rights go TO L.S. Engler! Next order of business, today’s stop on the Red launch blog tour is my dear CP and BFF Susan Bischoff’s blog, Hunting High and Low […]
I totally stole that term from pal Jessica Corra, who just had her first book deal announced the other day in PM. Congrats Jess!

In Part 1 of this series, I talked about The Blog Tour. Costs you nothing but time and helps build some recognition for your name. Today I want to shift gears and talk about something else that costs you nothing–the freebie. Now when I say freebie, I mean a couple of different things. A freebie, […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about promo lately, looking at what I’ve done, what others have done, and trying to gauge what the best bangs for your buck are. This is totally relevant to an indie because starting out, you don’t have many of those bucks to spend. So anyway I thought I’d talk about […]
I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday. Talk about disappointment. I was SO LOOKING FORWARD to sleeping in tomorrow. C’est la vie. As I’m prowling my Bloglines this morning, looking for something interesting to talk about, I came across this article at Galleycat about Boyd Morrison’s Kindle to published success. Inspiring.
