Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...

Author Lorraine Carey

Lorraine Carey is not only a paranormal enthusiast but has had many unexplained events in her lifetime and has used these as a focal point in her fiction novels. Most of Carey’s books were written during the course of nine years while living in the Caymans with her husband. The island was the perfect inspiration for her. As a veteran Reading Specialist in elementary schools, Lorraine began to write for Young Adults hoping to inspire young readers. Her students always loved hearing her spooky tales. Jonathan’s Locket was a finalist in the Wind Dancer Film Contest back in 2014. Lorraine currently resides in St. Petersburg, Florida where she is a private tutor for young children. She continues to write and is planning on joining up with a paranormal investigative team. Her empathic abilities seem to attract the spirits giving her even more motivation to continue writing. My favorite book from the author: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Night-Mistress-Paradise-Palms-Lorraine/dp/1087989906?ref_=as...

Author Terry Kerr

  An interesting British author is familiar for horror stories with a touch of psychological drama.  Like he said : " I was dragged into the world in 1965 - when TV was black&white and nobody swore before nine o'clock in the evening. From the start, I was obsessed with monsters, with the things in the dark, with the thing that would bite you if you let them. I left it very, very late to become a writer - I had a "proper" job with just made me miserable for nineteen years - but I'm here now. And I will bite. If you let me. " Recently I read his book that is amazing work. Here is my review. The author approaches to his characters with a doze of humor and sarcasm, which leads into adrenaline plot. Paul is a fifty years old divorcee man who flirts with his colleague, a younger woman, while remembering his life tragedies. He lost a little son a long time ago, his marriage broke and his daughter Sonia is his only comfort. His real-life tragedies mix with his a...
