Smashwords Back to School Sale II

Last night, in that moment of twilight as my brain decided whether to surrender to sleep or linger on the day’s events, I had an epiphany.  Why should someone have to email me for a code to take advantage of my Back to School Sale?  I honestly couldn’t think of a reason, so I decided to post the coupons here.  Unfortunately, each title has a separate coupon, but hopefully, the $.99 price tag makes up for any inconvenience.

Ascension (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/71161) Code: HR44U

The Four-Year-Old Guardian (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/77465) Code: VN65J

Bravado/Dramatique (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/177290) Code: WP82U

The Shadow Walker (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/99137) Code: MX83N

 

All coupons are good until 9/26.  As always, thanks for the support and happy reading.

Smashwords Back to School Sale

Just a quick post here, as I’m due to go into work soon (yes, on a Sunday).  All four of my titles are currently on sale via coupon through Smashwords to celebrate the upcoming return to school.  I know I’m looking forward to having some extra time on my hands once Natalie goes back and why not spend some of that time curled up with a good book?

If you’re interested, drop me a line at travellerzero@gmail.com or leave a comment here and I’ll happily provide the coupon code for the book(s) you’re interested in.

Thanks for your support.

July Summer/Winter Sale at Smashwords

As of this morning, my books are enrolled in the Summer/Winter sale at Smashwords, going on now through the end of July.  Ascension, The Shadow Walker and Bravado/Dramatique are available for half off with a coupon (they give you the code on the site).  The Four-Year-Old Guardian is free, so if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, this is the perfect time.

You can find my Smashwords author page here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TravEllerZero.  The prices listed reflect the cost before the discount.

Hope everyone had a safe, happy 4th of July.  Happy reading to you.

Moving Forward

First off, I’d like to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July (even if you don’t celebrate it, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it).

In business news, I’m happy to announce that as of today, The Shadow Walker is available in print through CreateSpace (found here: https://www.createspace.com/3741131).

Bravado/Dramatique and The Four-Year-Old Guardian will be soon behind, meaning all four of my available books will then be in print.  From this point on, it should go a lot faster.  I rushed to publish the first three books last year, focusing solely on the electronic copy.  For Bravado/Dramatique, I worked on the print copy and the electronic copy at the same time, allowing for a near simultaneous release.  In fact, I’ve already scanned the digital proof of Bravado/Dramatique, and if I wasn’t so determined to hold a physical copy in my hand before I give it the green light, it’d be available now.

What this means is potentially more time between titles (not as long as the gap between The Shadow Walker and Bravado/Dramatique though, I hope), but more complete versions.  For the past several months, I’ve been bogged down trying to edit all three books so they look good in print, which caused me to make changes that compelled me to go back and update my electronic copies, so they’re all uniform.

After this, once a book is published, I should be good to go.  I’d much rather be producing new material than getting caught up re-editing the same books over and over.  I want to produce the best quality work I can for my readers, but as some point, it’s time to move on to the next thing.

Also, I’d like to announce that as part of my one-year anniversary in self-publishing (the actual date came and went with little fanfare on my part), I’ve chosen to make all four of my electronic titles available through Smashwords for $.99.  This includes the much bigger book, Ascension, and the newly released Bravado/Dramatique.  If you’ve been interested in picking up a copy, I plan to keep them on sale through the end of the month.

Thanks for your support,

Big Sigh of Relief….

It’s done.

As of this morning, Bravado/Dramatique is available on Amazon and Smashwords.  Over the weekend, I’ll upload it Barnes & Noble.

I’d like to thank everyone who participated by submitted their opinion of the cover.  We took the suggestions into consideration and made changes we felt good about.

I ordered the proof copy of the print book this morning, so if all looks good, I should have it available by the end of next month.

To show my appreciation (and to welcome new readers), the first book, The Four-Year-Old Guardian, is available for $.99 at Smashwords through the end of July (regular price, $2.99).  You can access it here https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/77465.

As always, I look forward to new readers and welcome any comments/criticism you might have.  You can reach me here or at travellerzero@gmail.com.

Thanks again.
