I fully admit to having had my heart in my mouth when I hit ‘send’ on the payment for this deal. It was a LOT of money, $704, to be precise. I also admit that despite applying for a Featured Deal several times a year for several years, I still dithered about accepting it when […]
I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year, whatever you were able to make of it this time around. I’ll be back to my normal blogging schedule next week, starting with my analysis of the BookBub Featured Deal I had back at the start of December. If you’ve not had one of […]
Like many others, I am going to take a blogging break for a couple of weeks over the holiday period. It seems a little strange calling it that, as much of 2020 has seemed like a rather long, enforced holiday, which has come with even harsher rules for the next few weeks, courtesy of the […]

Here is her post, with lots of helpful advice, especially if you have yet to take the plunge and self-publish your book. Perhaps you’ve just completed NaNoRiMo […]
OMG! After years of applying, I FINALLY SCORED AN ALL-REGIONS BOOKBUB!!! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let me explain. Inclusion in the BookBub Featured Deals newsletter is the Holy Grail of book advertising. Actually getting one is roughly as difficult as getting a publisher. You can make your own BB ads […]
I had a guest lined up to provide an interesting post today, but having promised to deliver by Friday, I’ve received nothing. Nada. If only the person involved had let me know, I would feel more kindly towards them – they contacted me and made the offer, not the other way around. As it wasn’t […]
As promised, my review of Hode’s Hill #3, EVENTIDE. The speed with which I devoured this series says it all. Blurb The darkness is coming . . . The old house near Hode’s Hill, Pennsylvania is a place for Madison Hewitt to start over—to put the trauma of her husband’s murder, and her subsequent breakdown, […]
