Reminder
You rowdy Bradbury types, remember to get your info in to me before the Journal goes live tomorrow. You’re all doing SO well.
And special congratulations to KC Riggs, coming into the home stretch and only one or two stories (and weeks) from having written a story a week for a full year!
If Anyone Here Uses Findaway
or if your thinking of using them, please read the posts in Of Interest.
Or don’t. It’s your money.
More Updates on StoneThread Publishing
I’ve decided to continue updating StoneThread Publishing for a few hours each morning until all the individual book pages are updated and have STP buy links added.
I’ll do that from whenever I file the Journal until around 9 a.m. Then I’ll write fiction.
UPDATE: Well, that was the plan. Instead, yesterday I worked on updating the website all day and never got to the fiction.
Anyway if you’re interested in my novels or my books on writing, visit StoneThread Publishing for great discounts. Click the tab in the menu for whatever genre interests you.
Or just go in there to look around and get ideas for what you can do for your own website.
To Clarify
One reader somehow got the impression from a previous post that I was cutting out Amazon et al and selling ONLY direct to readers. I’m not.
Frankly, that would be stupid. I’m ignorant of a great many things, but I am not stupid.
Amazon will no doubt still make up the majority of my sales, But direct sales will increase as the word spreads, and there’s no reason to miss the relative “few” sales that come from my own website.
Back to the Updates
A few days ago I added STP buy links to all the individual pages for my Writing Books and for my Blackwell Ops series.
Yesterday, I added individual pages and buy links for my Other Thrillers & Action-Adventures and my Science Fiction books.
Every book is discounted. You’ll also find separate buy links to purchase entire series at an even larger discount.
My Thriller & Action-Adventure series include
- Blackwell Ops (soon to be 21 books)
- The Nick Spalding Series (4 books)
My Science Fiction series include
- The FOH (Journey Home) (10 books)
- The Good of the Galaxy Series (2 books)
- The Stirchians Series (2 books)
- The Siberian Fields Series (2 books)
The pages for all of those above have already been updated and buy links added.
Tomorrow I’ll update and add buy links for at least my Wes Crowley Series (21 books).
In coming days, I’ll also update and add buy links for my Stern Talbot Mystery & Pulp PI Series (9 books) and for my five- and ten-story short story collections.
Stay tuned!
Talk with you again soon.
