Some of you may have noticed that Sunset High is no longer on Smashwords. I took it down in order to comply with the KDP Select program which states that my books have to remain exclusive to them if I want to use their free promotions. The truth of the matter is that the free promotions on Amazon do far more for my book sales and publicity than Smashwords does, even with its extended distribution.
I have been spending a bit of time on Kindleboards lately, and it seems that the Kindle is still the dominating ereader. From what I have gathered (this may not be fact, so don't quote me on it, more like an observation) it seems that ebooks are purchased and downloaded from Amazon more than any other place online.
In other news, I've managed to free up a bit of my time so I will begin writing again starting tonight. For the next few days I'll be dividing my time between working on the 3rd part of Sunset High and marketing the series. I busted ass today to get a whole weekends worth of work done in one day, so I should have a lot of time tomorrow to get stuff done. On a good day, I can write 1/3rd of a book in one sitting. I think right now the estimated deadline will be to finish the 3rd book in the series by the middle of April and have it off to the Amazon digital printing press.
I am going to try and start writing some personal posts on this blog as well so it's not all about the books. Like everyone else, I have a life, and I thought it might be nice if I shared some of it with my readers so that I'm not just a name on the cover of a book.
On any note, it's time to quit yammering and get to work.
