I must have been too caught up in the hubbub of the holidays.
Well, that situation is now corrected. The Clan Brennan Family Album now has its own entry on the books page! Have a look, and consider getting your own copy, reading it on Kindle Unlimited, and leaving a review!
And the Clan Brennan Christmas Ghost Story Giveaway is ON! Head on over to Amazon and pick up your free Kindle download of The Clan Brennan Family Album so you’ll have ghost stories to read on Christmas Eve in honor of my personal mish-mash of Christmas traditions from around the world!
The giveaway is going now through Christmas Eve! Don’t miss it!
And if you happen to like The Clan Brennan Family Album, please remember to leave a review and be sure to check out the rest of the library!
(And remember it’s all free all the time on Kindle Unlimited.)
Hey All!
Despite a few glitches at the outset, The Clan Brennan Family Album has been published on Amazon and is now officially available in paperback and Kindle Download!
But I have more good news for you.
In honor of the countries where books are given as gifts on Christmas Eve and the night is spent reading them; in honor of the countries where ghost stories are told on Christmas; and most of all, in honor of my family, I’m going to be holding a free giveaway of the Kindle download (sorry, can’t do a giveaway on the paperback, the thing costs money to print after all) starting tomorrow and running through Christmas Eve so you can have your book to read! As you can see from the cover, there are ghost stories within! Don’t miss it!
(And hey, remember that it’s always free on Kindle Unlimited.)
Well, that’s it then. The Clan Brennan stories have been taken down from the short story archive and previous posts. Sorry folks, like I said before, those are the rules of the road.
It’s a small price to pay, though, for The Clan Brennan Family Album, which is going up at Amazon tomorrow in Kindle Download and print versions, with all the stories you love plus one brand new, never-before-seen story! Don’t miss it!
Hey all!
Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been working hard on a special project: The Clan Brennan Family Album, a collection of Clan Brennan stories as a Christmas gift to my family. As of now, it looks like that’s going to be going out on time, if only barely.
That means good news and bad news: the bad news is that all of the Clan Brennan stories will be taken down from the short story archive. Sorry folks, that’s the rules of the road at Amazon: if it’s going to be in Kindle Unlimited (and that’s the place to be these days), it has to be exclusive.
The good news is that all the Clan Brennan stories will be collected for convenient download or in a handsome paperback, with a brand new, never-before-seen story included! Coming soon!
Shadows walk in the autumn mist.
It’s the Fall of 1994 in the small milltown of Belford, New York. The leaves are turning, the kids are going back to school, and the heat of Summer is giving way to a cool, misty season. It happens every Fall.
Only this Fall, people are disappearing into that mist. Some people are found torn apart, some people are found dead for no reason, and some people aren’t found at all. Other people see strange things in the mist: ghosts and campfire stories.
There’s something out there in that mist. Something old. Something that has slept for a long time, but has now woken up hungry. Maybe the people of Belford could resist it, but as the terrible Fall wears on, more and more of them start…changing. Acting bizarre and violent. In the end, only a small group of teenage defenders are left to make their stand.
Hey all! In conjunction with the Bookbub promotion starting tomorrow, I have dropped the price of Hometown to 99 cents! The promotion lasts 11/16 through 11/23, but you get the lowered price NOW. See how I take care of my fans? Of course, it was always free on Kindle Unlimited. And if you like it, consider checking out the rest of the library.
After literal years of trying, Hometown has finally been accepted for a BookBub promotion!
For those who aren’t familiar, BookBub is one of the most well-known and respected book promoters on the internet. Hometown is about to get a BIG boost in visibility. Hopefully the rest of the library will get pulled along on its coattails a little bit.
The reason that’s good news for YOU is that Hometown will be available for download for $0.99 from Saturday 11/16 through Saturday 11/23! That’s 1/3 regular price! If you missed the free giveaway back in September (sorry, Amazon only lets you do so many of those), here’s another chance to save some money. And of course, it’s always free on Kindle Unlimited.
Don’t forget to leave a review if you like it!
(And if you really like it, consider checking out the rest of the library – more books coming soon!)
Exciting news about Hometown!
As you all know, over Labor Day weekend I held a free giveaway of Hometown. It did well, at least by my standards, moving about 1,500 copies.
Then…it did better. I expected for it to sell a few copies after the “sale” ended, get a few extra page-reads on Kindle Unlimited…
(For those of you who aren’t familiar, The way Kindle Unlimited works is people buy a monthly subscription, then they’re able to read any books enrolled in Kindle Unlimited for free. All of the subscription fees go into one big pot, and the authors get paid based on how many pages get read from one of their books. All of my books are enrolled in it, because although I’ve only ever had a few dozen pages read a month and thus gotten pennies, more established authors say that it’s an even bigger earner than actually selling the books.)
And I have indeed had a few sales. A few more than I expected, but still only a few. But since my Labor Day Sale ended, I’ve had thousands of page-reads on Kindle Unlimited. I couldn’t understand it until I saw that little factoid above on Twitter. That’s when I understood: the Labor Day Sale is what brought me over the top: that was when I went from eighteen customer reviews to twenty-one. Who knew it could make such a difference? Not only am I getting more page-reads, my sales rank is skyrocketing in the Occult Fiction and Occult Horror categories, which of course helps boost visibility even more. There are several positive feedback loops going on here.
So what I am going to do is I am going to beg…I am going to beseech everyone who has read this book and who has enjoyed it to please…please put a review up on Amazon. The goal is to get those reviews up over fifty – hopefully well up over fifty – so that second level of visibility boost kicks in.
Please. If you’ve read it, if you liked it, post a review. It’s the single most important thing you can do to help me right now.
Head on over to Hometown.
Well, I’m afraid the Hometown Labor Day Sale has come to an end, but I am glad to announce that it has been more successful than I dared to hope. Not only were there more free downloads than I dared to hope, but a lot of people are reading Hometown on Kindle Unlimited. And that, my friends, is something where the priced never goes up. If you’re on Kindle Unlimited, head on over to Amazon and read Hometown today, just as free as it was during the Labor Day Sale. Find out the truth of what happened that terrible Fall in Belford so many years ago.
And if you should happen to like it? Please leave a review. If you write a review on your blog or website or – I hardly dare hope – create some fan art, please contact me and I will be beyond happy to signal boost for you.
Also if you like it, consider checking out the rest of the library.
(More stuff coming soon, I promise. Meanwhile, new Guardian Cats story going up this Sunday!)
Once again, thanks to all for making my Hometown Labor Day Sale a success!
More than 1,000 copies moved in the first day of the sale alone! I am so honored!
If you like the story, please remember the leave a review and pass the word. If you have a blog or website of your own, please consider posting a review there, and please let me know about it if you do. I will be more than happy to signal boost for you.
If you haven’t downloaded a copy of Hometown yet, head on over and pick up a copy! The sale continues through 9/5! And while you’re there, consider looking at the rest of the library.
