#BookReview – THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES by C.J. Archer #historicalfantasy #fantasy
I read this one back in December, but held off writing my review until I’d read the entire series – always a good sign! I did read one or two other books in between, but always purchased the next in this 6 book series as soon as I’d finished the previous one. The setting is […]
#Bookreview – Witch Slapped by Dakota Cassidy #paranormal #cosymystery
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 […]
#BookReview – Cordial Killing by Vikki Walton #CosyMystery
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 […]
Is it worth doing a FREE sale? Latest update, 1 month on #bookmarketing
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 […]
#BookReview: The Snow Queen – The Complete Saga by K.M. Shea #fantasy
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 […]
The #scam strikes again?
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 […]
Is a FREE promo still worth doing? #bookmarketing
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 […]
#BookReview THE UNRAVELING OF LADY FURY by Shehanne Moore #Steamy #RegencyRomance
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 […]
#BookReview – THE NECROMANCER’S DAUGHTER by D. Wallace Peach #fantasy
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, […]
#BookReview SADDLED HEARTS by Jan Sikes #RomanticSuspense
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 […]
