I had M&Ms and coffee for breakfast, because it’s
Mother’s Day. That’s why.
This whole past week and weekend has really been
ten thousand times better than I could have ever imagined. I was really
freaking productive, and to top it off, the free Kindle promotion for GRAVEYARD
SHIFT was a complete success! My husband lovingly refers to it as the
greatest f**k up ever. I had 2,000 rack cards printed up with the Free promo on
them, for the WRONG dates. I had intended for the promo to run from Friday
through Sunday, but since I put May 8th through 10th on
the rack cards, which was Wednesday through Friday, I went ahead and ran the
promo for those days instead. If I had put the right dates, “100 Free Books”
wouldn’t have found my book Wednesday and featured it on their page. I was also
featured on a few other pages, and
GRAVEYARD SHIFT was downloaded almost 3500 times in three days. O.O I watched it climb up Kindle’s Urban Fantasy
Best Seller’s list in a matter of hours, until it reached #1 on Thursday!!! It stayed there
for a short while and spent most of Friday at #2, but even that was exciting!
Friday, my mother’s secretary told me that they
were discussing my books in one of her college classes. One of her classmates
said that they were like Harry Potter, only better. What author wouldn’t love to
hear that? Really? My books are better than the ones written by an award-winning
billionaire author? : P Gotta love hearing that. I’ll be smiling and
giggling maniacally about that one for years to come.
I have a nice group of beta readers checking out
early chapters of CRAZY EX-GHOULFRIEND, the YA zombie novel I’m working on. Thanks
to everyone who volunteered! ♥ Doing a cover photo shoot for it soon. My little sister is my
model. Woot! I think she will make a fabulous prombie queen.
I’m so behind on the YouTube channel. I
really want to get back on track with the videos. I’m thinking about posting
one for the “Draw my life” tag that’s been so popular lately, but how exactly
does one get the camera positioned over the dry erase board? I’m thinking I need
a fancy tripod for this …. or I could MacGyver something together with rubber
bands and shoelaces. Time for mischievous plotting…
Hope all you Mamas out there are having a wonderful Mother’s Day! ♥
