I was going to wait until Boxing Day for this, and make it a post-Holidays sale, but … what the heck. Time to deck the halls and jingle some bells! Kindle sale !!! 🙂

I went and marked down the Kindle version of Blood Game to $2.99, which was as low as Amazon would let me go without doing something weird to the royalties structure. Obviously I’m hoping to get more readers and more reviews, drawing in the people who were squeamish about buying the book before. Now they can get it for less than what Amazon offers in digital rewards when you to agree to later shipments.

And then I did something similar for Crying Call, the sequel, which comes out on my birthday (February 3rd). I priced that one at $3.99, and made it available for pre-order.

So this is important … if you’re one of the folks who pre-ordered it before now, or if you’d like to join that group of people, please click on the image of the book cover below. It’s a link to where you can pre-order it in its Kindle format. Pre-orders in the old format should disappear in the week or so, so switching to the new one will keep you on schedule to get Crying Call on the release date. And the fact that it’s now less than half the previous price is another nice perk!

One thing I’ve learned in my first year of publishing is that I probably overpriced my e-books the first time. So this is me correcting that mistake. Hopefully I’ll get a lot more readers this time around, and a lot more reviews.

And it’s the reviews I really, really need. Good reviews are way more valuable to me than the teeny tiny revenues I’m getting. Having lots of reviews is the only way indie authors like myself can be seen and get promoted by the cold, blind machines of Amazon and other online distributors.

If you like my work, and want to help me out, please leave a good online review. Amazon is the best place for that, but Barnes&Noble and GoodReads reviews help too. And please do that for every other author you like, too. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it.

Buon Natale!
