KDP Select
Having experimented for almost a year with ebook distribution using outlets other than Amazon, I have come to the conclusion that for me, Amazon is the way to go. I am about to enroll all five books with KDP Select which means that from time to time, there will be either free or reduced price offers on one or more of the titles, and also, hopefully, they will be advertised more widely on Amazon. The flipside of this is that from now on, the ebooks of my five titles to date will be available only through Amazon.
Paperbacks
By contrast, the paperback versions of all the books will continue to be available through both Amazon and other online booksellers worldwide, and in many countries you can order them through your local bookstore — they won’t be on the shelves but the store can order them for you and often, e.g. with Waterstones in the UK, there is no delivery charge. You can also order signed versions directly from me, if you wish — just drop me a line.
Book Six!
The other big news is that my new book is currently going through the editing mill and it now has a new title — ‘An Imperfect Revenge’.
As you will know from previous posts, I had originally intended calling it ‘Villa D’Illuzioni’, but having talked to a number of people about it, I decided that title was less appropriate since it doesn’t translate well into English — it smacks of conjuring, which is nothing to do with the plot!
So ‘An Imperfect Revenge’ it is — I’ll keep you posted on progress.
