Tomorrow and Thursday, July 25th-26th, Elseerian will be available for FREE. Anyone can download it for free through the Amazon Select program. I look forward to seeing the results this weekend, and I will post them sometime in august. Enjoy!
Here is the link.
Elseerian has officially sold 60 copies as of this morning. It's current ranking is under 20,000, and it has even sold abook in the UK. I am astounded that it has done so well in just 3 weeks. With the exception of 4 sales on smashwords, all of them have been on Amazon. For that reason, I dropped Smashwords so I could enroll in the KDP select program. It will allow me to do free promotions of my book, and allow amazon prime members to borrow it for free. I will post here when I put my book up for free.
For any Twitter or facebook users. You can connect with me and follow for additional updates.
I finally did it. Elseerian is e-published on smashwords and Amazon. I posted both about a week ago. So far I have sold 19 on Amazon and 4 on smashwords. Now would probably be the appropriate time for me to express my complete suprise that anyone besides my family has bought my book. (I know of at least 4 of those purchases were family.) For anyone interested, here is the link.
I am off to prepare my second novel. If possible, I want to e-publish my second and third books by christmas this year. We will see if I can do it.
Oh, and for any twitter users, I finally joined. My name is BenHale8. Send me a tweet if you would like!
I am still moving towards epublishing as I wait for traditional publishing. Today I recieved the final design of my book cover. It is exactly the way I pictured it. The image of the assassin behind Taryn is perfect. The artist (Kendall Hale) did an amazing job. I hope you all enjoy it!
Oh, and for anyone curious, the seal on the bottom left has a special meaning, but I am leaving it up to my readers to figure it out . . .
Good luck!
