ThunderClap

Hey all,

So I’ve decided to try out this ThunderClap thing.  I ran across it a few months ago, and since then, I’ve seen it used by a few different authors.  I’m not sure about its effectiveness, but I understand the basis of it.  What happens is that people sign up, by which I mean that they agree to either Facebook post or Tweet or Tumbler the person’s message on they day they want it shared.  By sharing it in mass, it is visible to more people and gets more exposure in a concentrated time frame.  Once you agree to share, the share happens automatically on the day of.  I figured the next sale of Otherworlders would be the perfect time to try a thunderclap.

thunderclap
The only downside I’ve seen so far is that if you don’t want to pay for the service, then you have to amass at least 100 supporters.  That said, if you could support the campaign, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks!!

Last Week’s WW: For Love or Money

Some people will tell you that writing the first draft of a book is the hardest part of the process.  Others will tell you that it’s doing revisions, or waiting for your book to finally come out.  Everyone has an opinion on which part is the hardest part, but in my experience, everyone is wrong.  Continue reading →

A few days ago I mentioned that I had decided to collect some of my flash fiction and offer it on Amazon as a collection.  I edited it, made some pretty titles, and put together a cover.   Continue reading →

I decided to collect some of my flash fictions, specifically the scifi ones for now, and compile them into a collection and put them up on Amazon for .99

I only recently did this.  But I was surprised when I checked on it today and discovered that I’m currently in the top 250,000 in all of Paid Amazon.  I didn’t do any advertising whatsoever, liter rally just hit publish and threw it out into the world.  I know, that’s still pretty far down the list.   But, it’s new.  And, there are millions of books on Amazon, so it’s kinda cool to be up there.  I don’t know if it’ll go up or down, but for now, I’m excited about that number.

Last Week’s WW: Where and How, Physically Speaking

Every author starts somewhere.  No matter how big, or how small, famous or flop, at some point, there is always a first book.  At some point, you have to gather all your courage, sign a contract or press the publish button, and send your story out into the world.  But is that enough?

Indiegogo for Otherworlders

Hi all.  I’ve set up an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to get a professional edit on my novel Otherworlders.  Now a days, agents won’t even look at your work unless it’s polished and practically ready to be on the shelf.  It’d be great if you could take a look, if you could spare a dime, or even if you could just share it with your friends to get the word out.  Thanks!!!
