Pride & Primers
Hello awesome people! You are appreciated and I am thankful you are here. If you haven’t seen Nimona yet on Netflix, go check it out! It’s beautiful. I’m watching it again this weekend.
Check This Out!
First up, lots of things happening on the Facebook page lately. I’ve spruced it up a little so folks can find things. If you’re a fan of The Saint George Chronicles, you want to check out this FB post that was recently part of the 3 Peachy PA’s pride promo.
The Lyndon Family does Pride! This is a short story about Greg as a kiddo. There are a few new characters and some backstory. Like ever wonder how Jennifer was Greg’s first grade teacher but he was also home schooled most of his young life? This short story answers that and more.
Next, if you are following my Facebook page or my website, you’ll have caught the new blog post I did recently. It talks a bit about my influences, process, and Gregor.
This character has been on my mind a lot lately. Mostly because I’ve been thinking about the last two books of the Saint George series were we find out more about Greg’s extended family beyond Philip and Jennifer. I explain some about my process in the blog post, so if you’re excited for the last two books of the series, you might want to check that out. No spoilers yet, promise!
Sales & Platforms
Until the end of July, all of my novels are available for 50% off at Smashwords. I like distributing through Smashwords for a lot of reasons. One of them is profit share. It’s higher than the Zon even when I have a sale.
Ex: If my book is priced at $3.99 I get $2.68 from Amz. From Smashwords: $3.24. It’s the same exact book, same exact epub file. But Amz takes a bit more of the profit. I read recently that Amz is set to have control of 80 percent of the publishing market by 2025. It means that authors will likely have to make tough choices. I’m one of the lucky indies that I can afford to be in a lot of places though the income varies a great deal for the same product.
If you’ve been waiting to pick up my other books, check out the link below for them and a bunch of other LGBTQ+ books on sale right now through Smashwords. Best deal you’re going to find for your epub addiction!
Don’t fret if you’re using KU or Amz because that’s in your budget, or for the ease of technical use. I get it. I have a KU account myself. My kindle and phone app are PACKED with reads besides the physical books I carry around. I also side load epubs I purchase other places onto my kindle app via my phone.
I’m a writer as much as a reading addict! Always need something to read with me especially to stop the doom scrolling. ( Sidenote: what the hell is up with social media these days, am I right!? Before I add any more platforms to my list, I’m going to wait for the dust to settle a bit more. You can always find my links via Linktree. So bookmark it if you need to! )
Anyway, Rare Temptations is coming out of KU! It will be there until July 19th, so if you want to read it, jump on that soon!
Starting in August, I’m going to add one of my other books to KU for at least 90 days if not longer depending on how it does. So help me out by answering the poll!
