A few weeks ago FORSAKEN went down to the low, low price of 99 cents. It may have seemed odd, especially in light of my opinion that 99 cents is a terrible price for an eBook that’s over 100,000 words. That all ended today, and here’s why: FORSAKEN got a shiny new coat of professional editing over the past few weeks. Like some secret makeover before the big prom, every word and sentence was studied by professional word ninjas atop lonely mountains and discarded into the canyon of Bad Grammar should it not pass the sniff test.
The truth of it is I’ve been very, very fortunate to have WONDERFUL readers who’ve put their money down and supported an indie author’s first book. In my opinion it’s only fair and right to reinvest that money back in the product so many have supported. So I hired an editor to go through it line by line and make sure my mistakes don’t keep surfacing.
Is it 100% error free? I don’t know. I’d like to think so, but then again I’d like to think that we’d have a moon base by 2020. What I can promise is that it’s a LOT more error free than before.
So if you have downloaded FORSAKEN and you came a cross a comma or twenty in the wrong place, a sheer/shear mistake, or just general confusion, and you still supported the little book, a huge THANK YOU sincerely! This edition’s for you.
I’m not 100% set on a price point of $4.99. I may go to $3.99, or up to $5.99. Or it may drop to $2.99 when my next book comes out. I really don’t know yet. I can say that I sold only slightly more copies at 99 cents as I did at $4.99.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to THE LOST COAST.
Cheers!
