Lady of the Pier, storm 533X800

Hello peeps! November has come and gone, and I’ve been busy getting The Storm, book 3 in The Lady of the Pier trilogy, ready for publication. I am happy to announce the book is now available on Amazon on pre-order. The big day is December 11! Not too long till The Lady discloses her last tragic secrets!

I promised my readers a great Xmas, and it’s only fair, seeing that I’d been really mean and piling on the heartache all this time for both my heroines!

But that’s not all!

I’m currently keeping busy with the launch of a second book, Poetry from The Lady of the Pier. This mini companion book to the series (approximately 50 pages) is a collection of 10 romantic poems from the trilogy and also includes the bonus short story, “An Old Promise”:

Joanna boards a flight from JFK to visit the Greek island of Sifnos again after twenty years. All this time, despite the distance and her life’s circumstances, she’s been holding on to precious memories from an old summer love. Now, she’s determined to meet again the man she once left behind, hoping for a chance to prove she never forgot their old promise…

The book contains no spoilers, and readers who are not familiar with the series may equally enjoy it.

I am going to make this available in all bookstores (not just Amazon) in an attempt to attract new readers to the series. For this reason, the kindle will be perma-free. The paperback will be available in all major bookstores.

UPDATE: I am still working with Amazon to drop the price for the poetry ebook from 99c to FREE. In the meantime, you can download it FREE on other major stores, such as:

Kobo: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/poetry-from-the-lady-of-the-pier
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1064068977
Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1123057439

 

If you’re an author, please note: I plan to blog a lot in the near future sharing tips for authors and instructions on using various free services, so I hope you’ll stay tuned! These awesome tidbits of information will organize you and make your indie life so much easier!

If you’re a reader, watch this space! Other than continuing to host a new author every Monday, I will keep reviewing the books I read so you can always have great recommendations from me. Remember I only review books if I am going to give them a minimum of 4 stars so you’ll only find here my top recommendations!

Forthcoming interviewees for this month include Martin Crosbie and Mandy Baggot, plus I’ll be reviewing An Almost Perfect Christmas by USA Today bestselling author, Donna Fasano.

Christmas is upon us and I expect many of you will do what I do and shop from Amazon for your loved ones… This year, I had the notion that I should be someone’s Secret Santa among my author friends… To do that, all I need to do is go to Amazon to make my purchases having first visited an author friend’s website. I’ll just click on one of their book links that points to Amazon and which embeds their Amazon Associates affiliate link. This way they will get theΒ  benefit of a small commission. Plenty of giving, wonderful friends to choose from, so I’ll pick one by random and continue to do this by picking a different friend each time I make my Amazon purchases throughout the year.

I strongly urge you, whether you’re an author or a reader, to support an indie author with this small gesture this Christmas. It’s peanuts, but it allΒ  helps!

Should you feel inclined to support me in this way this Holiday Season, simply click on any of my published books on the right sidebar. This will take you to Amazon with my affiliate link so I can get a small commission if you make any purchases on Amazon during that specific visit (no need to buy my book). Thank you πŸ™‚

Have a great day and enjoy the hectic run up to Xmas! And, for those among you who have been following The Lady of the Pier trilogy, I hope you will enjoy the fairy tale ending of The Storm, reading it in a festive room somewhere! Enjoy πŸ™‚

  1. Wow! Great plans for December! It’s good to hear you’re expanding to other markets. Keep us posted. And I’d better start prepping my launch checklist because my next launch should be more professionally coordinated than that of my debut novel’s. So any tips are most welcome! πŸ™‚

    As for purchasing through your site, that’s a marvelous idea! I am buying from Amazon anyway, why not help out a friend?

    • Hi Maria, when you’re ready to plan your launch, make sure to email me. I have to do lists for promos and another separately for launches so I expect you’ll find a couple of ideas in there. I am also happy to share here that I signed up for AskDavid’s promotion service yesterday which costs only $15 for a whole year and if you think of the Alexa rank of this site, it’s incredible really. Anyway, among the benefits is that I am allowed now to submit tweets to them which they’re happy to send out to their followers – and as I timed it for the launch, I can use this free service for the specific purpose. Every little helps so keep that in mind if you want, to sign up there just before your launch too. This annual subscription allows you to submit tweets for every promo of your book, for free by the way πŸ™‚ Thank you for your kind message and for your consideration to support me this Xmas with your purchases, that’s very kind πŸ™‚

    • Thank you for your visit and kind words, Jackie! Hey, for that Xmas tree image, no smarts are required! Just head over to Photofunia and make yours. You don’t even need to sign up and it takes seconds! Just pick the image you want from the various categories, upload your book cover, preview and download! MAGICAL stuff, πŸ™‚ https://photofunia.com/categories/christmas
