Shamless Self-Promotion! Look away now

I keep talking about how I see the indie thing as a long game, and taking risks and all that. The more I read about other indie authors and their journeys, the more convinced of that I become. Nobody is really an over-night success, after all. With that in mind, I've lowered the price of NIGHT AND CHAOS to $1.14, because, at the risk of sounding desperate, I want people to buy it, read it, enjoy it, and tell other people they enjoyed it. Word of mouth, I'm certain, plays as big a part in selling books, be they indie or traditionally published, as anything else.

I plan to have the next two installments in the trilogy out this year, and I figure if people can get the first part at a reasonable price, they might be prepared to buy the next parts for a slightly higher price (I don't plan to ever charge more than $3.99 for anything I sell via the Kindle; I've considered what I'd be prepared to pay for an ebook, be it novella or novel, and $3.99 is my cap).

So, that's it. NIGHT AND CHAOS is now available for impulse buying!

Sounds like a solid theory to me. I imagine it will work, too, especially if word-of-mouth starts to take effect.

I hope so! I've seen a difference in my Amazon ranking today already (even though I'm not fully clear on how rankings translate to copies sold). But fingers crossed and all that.

Well, I promised to review it, so I've just posted one on Amazon. Rather less enthusiastic than the first three, I'm afraid, but such is what I felt. Anyway, psychologically, I reckon you look more believable now you've got a not-five-star among the list.

Well I wouldn't want anyone to post a dishonest review! Thanks for taking the time to do it - much appreciated.
