January 2024 Blog Status

Spinning Globe

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.

July 2023 Blog Status

Spinning Globe

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.

Launching a “7th Writer-versary Sale!”

My very first erotica story (“A Dream for Papa”) was posted to Literotica on March 13, 2016. Ever since, I’ve counted that as the start of my writing “career”, even though I didn’t launch the “M.R. Leenysman” pseudonym until later that year (based on my Literotica login, which is leenysman, standing for “Leeny’s Man”).

So, this March 13th marks my 7th anniversary of doing this — my writer-versary, if you will. So, how am I going to observe it? By having a 50% OFF sale at my store here at Leeny’s Press for the whole week — March 13-19!!

Unlike sales at Smashwords which I’ve promoted in the past, this even includes my $0.99 books, marked down to just $0.49!! (Smashwords maintains a minimum of $0.99, even during sales, and marking books down to $0 doesn’t benefit me much)

However, so that credit card processing fees don’t eat up a bunch of small transactions, I am establishing a minimum total purchase amount of $1.45 (should let you buy THREE $0.49 books, if you choose that combo). I’m likely to keep that minimum in place after the sale.

Anyway, if you’ve been on the fence about trying one of my books, this would be the time to buy, don’t you think?
