[EDIT, DAMNIT I DID THIS ONE ALREADY.]
[This is why writing posts early Monday before I’ve had coffee is a doomed plan.]
[Let’s try this again.]
[Okay! New mushroom photo. Much better. This one is one you can actually eat.]
First, both Atlanta Burns (book 1) and The Hunt (book 2) are on sale for $1.99 each for your Kindlemachine. A girl, her dog, her gun, and a town full of bullies await. Please note, though, that these books should be considered piled high with trigger warnings. Of all varieties.
Second, you saw my NYCC sked, right? Well, if you can’t make it to NYCC (or even if you can), Penguin Random House is having a Monday, post-NYCC coffee klatsch at their offices starting at 11AM. I’ll be there, along with some other amazing authors: Daniel Older, Myke Cole, Seanan McGuire, Naomi Novik, Sarah Kuhn, and more. You have to RSVP (details here), and note that they will not be selling books — you’ll have to bring your own if you want ’em signed.
Third, if you’ve ever read any of my books and liked ’em, boy howdy I’d sure appreciate a review somewhere. If you read them and didn’t like them, you should also leave a review, but in this case, you should yell the angry review into a pillow, or at a passing bird. The bird in particular will surely bring the review to me so thanks for your honesty.
And I think that’s it.
NOW GO FORTH AND HOLD MONDAY ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS SINS.

So how do these Kindle sales work from a profit allocation standpoint? I love the idea of getting them on the cheap, but am totally willing to pay full price to make sure you get the full amount you’re due too.
I’m sure this has been asked before, but I can’t recall having seen it.

I’m actually starting Invasive this morning, so there will be a review up for that shortly too.

The economics are mine to worry about, not yours! And I don’t mean that dismissively, I mean — you know, yeah, it’s probably ideal when you buy a book full price, but sometimes that’s not true depending on who initiated the sale, and even when it is true, sometimes the sheer volume of sales that results from a cheaper price balances out the individual loss. It’s really hard to say and every case is different and mostly, for me to you, I just want you to read the book. And books you really want, pay the price you pay — books you’re not sure about, hey, try the sale price. And then balance it out by leaving a review or telling someone about it! 🙂
Thank you for asking, though.

That makes sense; that’s actually really helpful. Thank you!

Well, I now own a shiny, brand-new, hardcover, but coffee-stained copy of Invasive, and the library will be buying another copy, thanks to that pothole, so I feel slightly less conflicted about snatching up Atlanta Burns (which were books I was definitely going to be buying anyway) at the sale price. Win all around?

Chuck (and any other writers here), Foreword Reviews accepts just about any book published by small presses or indie presses (that means no Big House publishers, i.e. Random, McMillan, Warner, Tor, etc.). Please surf over to forewordreviews.com for more info. This print and online magazine is free for libraries! They’re going to a bi-monthly schedule in 2017, so there’ll be room for more reviews. They’ll also need more reviewers. *grin* This is a great mag and resource for independently published books. Disclaimer: I write freelance reviews for this magazine. The pay is pretty damn good. 🙂
