Upcoming Smashwords Sale!!

Smashwords’ Summer/Winter Sale will run from July 1st to July 31st.

Two tiers of discounts:
* If normally priced over $2, they will be 50% OFF
* For those priced between $1 and $1.99, they will be 25% OFF, to keep the sale price over $0.99 (Smashwords minimum).

That leaves a few books which are already $0.99 or FREE, which will not be reduced.

January 2024 Blog Status

Well, I began to get back on track in posting to Twitter and Facebook (and MeWe, Instagram and Sharesome). January’s hit total was better that the two previous months. But the fact is that the three months (November, December, January) were the lowest three in the past two years.

I also got some progress on book 8 of my current series, so hopefully I can get that finished soon. I’m still not sure if this is going to wind up the end of the series (and how to end it), or if a book 9 might be next.

August 2023 Blog Status

Yes, I’m even later with this than I was last month. Life’s been busy and the same issues I have with Internet access at the beginning of each month (tied to my cellphone plan) were still an issue.

Anyway, blog hits declined in August, but only in comparison to July. They were still better than June or May and were better than August 2022. If I just had the time to finish my current book and keep up with all of the social media posting to promote my existing books, things could be better.

July 2023 Blog Status

Yeah, I’m almost a week late on this, but I frequently have limited Internet access at the beginning of the month and when I do have access, other tasks take priority.

Anyway, July 2023 did see a jump in traffic compared to the two months before it, likely the effect of the Smashwords sale this month. Not quite to the level of May+June combined, but close. Yet, still lower than July 2022, for comparison.
