Hello! I hope all you bookworms are well and setting aside some extra time for reading today – Happy World Book Day!
To mark the occasion, I am offering The Ebb for FREE just for a couple of days. With so many parts of Europe and the US covered in snow right now, I think a little escape to sunny Corfu is bound to cheer you guys up. So grab the book, and enjoy World Book Day on me 🙂

I take this opportunity today, seeing it’s such a special day for both readers and authors, to say that I feel privileged to be a part of the indie online community. I’d like to say a big thank you to all my readers, followers, and author friends for the support and love you share with me so generously.
Last, but not least, I welcome you to check out an interview I did yesterday on the blog of mystery author, James Moushon. If you’re a fellow writer, you may be interested in the indie authorship issues James and I discussed.
Here follows a short excerpt:
You have a good following on Twitter. How important have your social media relationships been? How did you build your following in your niche? Do you see a carry over to your writing success?
Yes, I have 72,000 Twitter followers at the moment and it’s steadily growing because I have been working to grow my follower count every week for the past four years when I started. This has been a conscious effort as I am aware of the power of the specific medium to spread a message far and wide. Twitter doesn’t sell books, but it provides visibility like no other social media platform. I use Twitter and Facebook heavily; both are integral parts to my day-to-day promotion efforts and have helped me gain a plethora of new readers, many of which have become dear online friends. I use my private Facebook page to keep my readers close. In my opinion, Facebook pages don’t work – private ones do, and really help to put books in front of people’s eyes.
