Paty Jager Talks About Her New Release And Other Things

My quest today is Paty Jager. She tells us about her latest release which is a sequel to the Halsey Brothers series. ******************************************** Thank you for having me here today. When I came up with the idea to make a trilogy with secondary characters from my Halsey Brothers Series, I knew who the heroes would be. The hard part was coming up with a heroine to not only give the hero fits but to also be exactly what he needs. After all, a romance isn’t all sweet talk and roses. Part of the fun of reading a romance is the dance the hero and heroine do trying to avoid the fact they are attracted. In Laying Claim, Jeremy Duncan is ready to leave Alaska and head home. He can’t believe at his age he’s homesick. His dream is to head home, find a good woman, and settle down. He has a list of attributes the woman he marries must have: love him unconditionally, be a good mother, get along with his sister and her family, and be a good cook. And a woman strong in her belie

Do The Seasons Affect Your Choice Of Reading Material?

Today my guest is Romy Sommer. She brings up a very interesting question. I have to admit that I never really thought about how seasonal reading would differ for those in the southern hemisphere. Welcome, Romy! I recently had a review for my latest book The Trouble with Mojitos which said the following: “I would have said this was the perfect summer holiday read, except it s been released in autumn! Maybe it s the perfect winter holiday read if you re lucky enough to get away to warmer climes this winter.” Which got me to thinking do most readers prefer to read books set in the same season they’re currently in? I live in sunny South Africa where our winters are pretty mild and there’s not a huge amount of seasonal change so it’s never occurred to me to tailor my reading to my season. Besides, being in the southern hemisphere, we’re always out of step with seasonal releases. The new books that hit the shelves in December (when I’m on my summer holidays) are usually about

Are You Violating Amazon’s Terms Of Service?

If you are self-publishing, and if you are reading this, I assume you are, Amazon is an important business partner. As with any business partner, they need to be treated with respect. It is CRITICAL that you be careful not to damage that relationship. You must read, understand, and remember the conditions of using their site. If you are violating Amazon s terms of service, they will ban your account.  If you follow me here and on the social media sites, you know that I love self-publishing because of the options available to authors. This is wonderful, and I m all for options. However, in this particular situation, there are no options. If you are banned from Amazon, you will have few, if any, options for your publishing career. Sure, you can go and open another account (I ve seen that done many times). However, that is also a violation of their terms of service. That account will be banned as well. I m bringing this up this morning because I ve seen yet another product telling autho

Is Amazon The Best Place To Sell Books?

Most authors believe that Amazon is the best place to sell books. Is that really true? Until now the only information authors have had about the percent of marketshare of ebook sales by the book distribution channels have come from those channels themselves. It s important for self-publishing authors to know actual sales percentages and not trust the self-reported figures. Sellbox has conducted their 2013 eBook Self-Publisher Survey and reported the results at the Publishers & Writers of San Diego meeting on September 28th.  These results contradict the self-reported results. Amazon is indeed the 800 pound gorilla of the publishing world. Be sure and look at the slides of the answers. There are a lot of good information there. You ll find more helpful information in addition to finding the best place to sell books.
