Monday Morning Ramblings


Tomorrow begins our big promotion for the series.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, The Brotherhood of Dwarves will be available as a free download on Amazon Kindle, so for the next couple of days, I’ll be asking many of you to reblog, post, and Tweet the link.  Even if you already own a paper copy, please download the free version and help boost the rankings.  It’s free, only takes a few seconds to do, and will go a long way to helping spread the word about the series.  Please remember, you don’t have to own a Kindle to download it.  Amazon will store the book in their cloud, and you can read it straight from your computer.  Please, stress this point when you share the link.

This promotion has the potential to garner thousands of new readers for the series, so please, help spread the word tomorrow and Wednesday, especially on Facebook and Twitter.  The more activity we generate early on, the more likely we are to get noticed by the algorithms Amazon uses internally to recommend the title to customers.  Also, the more activity we can produce on Facebook and Twitter, the more likely we are to possibly hit “Trending” status.  All of it hinges on the amount of activity occurring with the title, and like I said, the earlier we can start the buzz, the more likely it will be to snowball over the two days.

One final thought, I was a guest blogger on “A Daydreamer’s Thoughts,” discussing my biggest literary influence.  Check it out and let me know what you think: http://xxdaydreamer21xx.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/da-adams-greatest-influence.html

Wednesday Morning Ramblings


This week, Seventh Star Press is offering Sela, by Jackie Gamber, as a free download in the Kindle Store.  I’ve known Jackie for several years and consider her not only a friend but also a damn fine writer.  If you’re looking for a YA appropriate, inspirational novel for your kids, this is it.  It’s also pretty good for adults, too.  Like before, there are links below to some of the outstanding reviews Jackie has received for this book.  Please remember, you don’t have to own a Kindle to get this book for free.  Amazon will allow you to keep it in your cloud and read it from your computer or smartphone any time you want.

If you’re unfamiliar with Jackie’s work, just read those reviews, and then go download the book for free through Amazon.  I’m certain you won’t be disappointed.

Monday Afternoon Ramblings


Tonight at 7:00 PM, I’ll be a guest on Ali’s Bookshelf, answering questions about my writing and the series.  After reading through the prep questions, I think this interview should be a lot of fun, so please, stop by and listen.  I haven’t done a live interview in a while, so I’m pretty excited about the opportunity.

I also need your help.  Seventh Star and I are about to start a promotion in early May to boost exposure for the series.  If you’ve read any of the series and enjoyed the books, please go to Amazon and leave reviews on the Kindle versions of the books.  The more reviews we can have in place before the promotion starts, the more effective it will be, so please, if you have a couple of minutes, follow the links below and leave reviews for each book in the series you’ve read.  Most importantly, please be honest.  Obviously, I prefer higher ratings, but what I really want are honest reviews with honest ratings so other readers can make an informed decision on whether or not to try the series out.

Many of you have taken the time to send me messages or post on Facebook or comment here about the books, and some of you have left reviews on older versions of the books, but if you can please find the time to write reviews on the Kindle versions, it would mean the world to me.  Again, I’m only asking for people who have read one or more of the books to write a review, and I want honest opinions.
