And another review… This one appealed to me on more than one level, being a combination of two of my favourite genres for light and easy reading, and the fun style of the cover promised a slightly jokey read, as it proved to be. It is also #1 in a series of 15, so plenty […]
And it’s back to my backlog of reviews from last year! This one is for the second in the Backyard Farming Mystery series. You can see my review of the first one, Chicken Culprit, here. Blurb When one of the first guests at the Brandywine Inn dies, Anne has to determine which of her guests […]
I thought I would do a 1 month update, after my marketing round up at the end of January following my experiment of setting book #1 in this series to FREE and advertising it fairly heavily. To remind you, using figures over the 6 months leading up to my free promo, I calculated pre-promo regular […]
Another book review from my reading binge while recovering from surgery. This one was a bargain boxset, and I liked both the cover and the blurb. Blurb Rakel is a princess who should have been queen. Instead, as a despised magic user she has spent most of her life exiled on a barren mountain, alone […]
Back to catching up on reviews. I read this one in one sitting, over the Christmas holiday, and enjoyed it as much as all the other memoirs this author has written. Debby (not me, the other Debby!) has a wealth of personal experiences which often offer insights and advice to others, and I know she […]
I’d like to share with you an update on the scam I brought to your attention a few weeks ago – namely the offer of a TV interview that turned out to have a $999 price tag for ‘airtime fees’. Well, this week I recieved an email, sent via the contact form on this very […]
In the past, FREE promos saw huge downloads and, although it costs plenty to advertise a free book (sometimes more than a reduced price book!), still provided a good ROI (return on investment) as a result of sales of the author’s other books, especially if the free book was #1 in a series. I’ve seen […]
Yet another dip into a different genre for me. I came across this one courtesy of fellow author Diana (D. Wallace Peach) who reviewed it during her promotional tour for her latest release The Necromancer’s Daughter, which I reviewed last week! The blurb sounded enticing, with Diana’s review highlighting the hilarity on offer, and I’m […]
Catching up on the reviews of the many books I read while recovering from my operations last year. This one is a classic ‘couldn’t put it down’, as I’ve come to expect from this author. The Necromancer’s Daughter by D. Wallace Peach My rating: 5 of 5 stars The queen of Verdane died in childbirth, […]
I know I’ve promised to share the results of my December promo, and I will, but being a free promo, the results will be slower to appear and analyse, so I will get an initial post about it put together after the end of this month, and then we can try to estimate it FREE […]
