Published Veil of Time on Amazon, began research for the next book the next day. I’m up to Chapter Three of The Ship, the first in a planned series. This one is hard-science SF, unlike my previous soft-science novels and fantasy novella.
I’ve also got enough information to begin writing the fifth novel in the Wizards Series. This one has a working title of Siberian Wizard and it takes up where Veil of Time left off.
I can’t promote Veil of Time yet; no reviews and Amazon won’t even allow a Countdown Deal until the book has been on their site for a month. So I’m promoting Combat Wizard instead; quite often, a first-in-a-series book leads to sales of other books in that series. With luck, Veil of Time will see some sales and maybe even a few reviews. Meantime, I’ve been posting this in various author sites on Facebook:
Combat Wizard, the first in a series of four Paranormal-ESP novels, is on sale today as part of a promotion. It’s $0.99 to purchase, free with your KU or Prime subscription.
If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood.
There are other ways to promote your new novel, even without spending any money. If your novel is also available in print, do a giveaway on Goodreads, or join a group for indie authors. Have you taken a look at Pinterest? A lot of authors, indie and otherwise, use it to promote their books.
Thanks, but I don’t use Pinterest. I may explore that soon.
Meanwhile, I do have one book in print, but I’m not a fan of spending money and seeing the books resold. It happened; I donated to the local library, and found they’d either given it away or sold it in a bagful of books.
