It just went live, and I’m very excited:
A big thank you to my niece, Brittney Mitchell for letting me use her incredible original song, Fighting the Decree.
The video was produced by ~V~ Mitchell (my daughter) and Phyconian Productions.
Enjoy,
Steve
Okay, maybe love is too strong a word, but one thing I forgot to check during my promotion was my foreign sales. I did surprisingly well in England and Germany, where I not only gave away free copies but also had some sales as well. I also had people pick up free copies of Werewolves in Spain, Italy, and France. The topper, though, is that I got two reviews on the British Amazon site: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007KAE45A
It’s interesting when I think about people in other countries reading my stuff. Some day I may have to dabble in translations, just to see if it would be worth it. I do have a connection with someone who can translate English into Spanish and French, but she’s pretty busy right now. Maybe in the future…
On another note, I have a writers conference coming up this coming weekend, and interviews lined up with two agents. I’m working hard on a final edit and polish of Son of Thunder, which I am planning to pitch to them.I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can find a new agent soon.
Such Fun,
Steve
The free promotion of There’s no such thing as Werewolves went many time’s better than I though it would. I gave away over 2,700 copies, and received increased sales of both my other books during the promotion. Also, since the end of the promotion, sales of Werewolves appear to be up also. The promotion exceeded all my expectations.
I think of my publishing venture as this huge machine. Something I’ve invested a lot of time, energy and heart into. For the most part, it has felt like the machine is just sitting there, though occasionally I saw promise that it would start to move. After this promotion I really feel progress, like the wheels of the machine are starting to turn slowly, and just maybe some steam is building.
I would like to point out a wonderful group of people, who have helped me incredibly over the past year. The Writer’s Voice writing group of Eagle River, WI. If you are a beginning writer and live in north-central Wisconsin, please consider joining us. You will not find a more supportive and nurturing group of people to share your writing adventure with.
As I continue to grease the wheels of my writing machine, it’s nice to have some friends along for the ride.
Until next time,
Steve
