Andy Holloman – Novel – "Shades of Gray"

I can’t believe how lucky I am to have a fan like Jill.  She took  Shades of Gray on a worldwide cruise (New Zealand to her home in England)  and had a few adventures.  So we all get a few great pics to look at!

I saw the request on your website in February for photos of your book in some of the places it was sent. That request came at an interesting time for me – I was about to leave New Zealand, where I’d been living for a year, to return home to England and I was taking the slow route back by sea to visit some places along the way. I thought it could be quite fun if I found somewhere good to get a shot in each of these. So your book lived in my bag for a couple of months and I took pictures of it everywhere.

  This is very valuable info from Russell Blake, who some call the “Hardest Worker Author in Indie Publishing”.   Others call him the “Biggest Consumer of Tequila in

Indie Publishing”.   Either way, he’s a smart, hardworking writer who is willing to share his escapades, numbers, and ideas.   He’s encouraging……  and funny.

Here’s his blog site –      http://russellblake.com/

and check out his latest release on Amazon,  The Voynich Cyper      (and, pssst, he’s got a BUNCH of other titles too)

Doug was gracious enough to share his insight and REAL numbers from his recent “freebie” days with KDP Select.  (this is a re-post from his blog, yeah, I know, I’m lazy this week.)   Doug’s info is packed with great data that will help other writers.

I read his novel and it is excellent.  Fast, exciting, and a GREAT “bad” guy.  (Hey, I love villains)    Click Here to get his book.

In this post I’m sharing the results of my second round of free days I used in my first 90 days in Kindle Select.

My second round of KDP Select I used my remaining 3 days of my 5. My first round or two free days was in January and had some modest success. I decided to wait two months to use my remaining free days to give readers a little break and to get them in in time for me to decide if I wanted to renew in Select for another 90 days.

Okay.  So there are reasons to whine and complain about the “Big A”.   Some would say the “A” stands for another choice word due to Amazon’s supposed evil actions in the marketplace.   I hear writer folks complaining about Amazon/KDP/Authors Central saying that  –  ”They never answer my questions.”  or  ”They mess up my rankings.”  or  ”They take forever to respond to email inquiries.”     I would say to those who whine,  time to GET REAL.
