I want to thank our readers for purchasing our books. We are a small Press and don't do a huge amount of in-your-face marketing. We prefer to use word of mouth to get the news out to prospective readers. Yes, we tell folks our books are out, but we don't spam anyone. Our Amazon book pages, book trailers, Twitter, and Facebook are our basic tools for promoting our work. We even have online jigsaw puzzles through Jigidi. The puzzles are free. It's a fun way to interact with readers. We don't automate anything. All of our responses, retweets, etc. are personal. And, we don't hit the same groups day after day about our books. We vary everything so we're not boring.
Another thing we do is to support other authors. We're all in this together. It's the right thing to do. We've been adding in more book reviews for books we love from author friends of ours. Terri and I do this and more on our personal websites as well.
The last couple of weeks has seen a big spike in sales for us. We're loving this. While Stephen King still sells more books than us, it doesn't matter. Nor should it. We don't want to write like he does. Our styles belong to us. Our fans like them, and that makes us happy.
Thank you once more. We have many more books on the way. I hope you'll give us a peek. Our books have an ample free sample available on Amazon so you can make your mind up easily.
Happy reading.
Blaze McRob
