Happy Sunday everyone 😁
I hope you all had a great week. I wanted to post a few short updates about my writing, the book and where you can find more about it and me. First up, you can find me on Goodreads now!
If you have Goodreads, be sure to check back frequently as I will be having a book giveaway soon!
eBook Availability
Several people have asked me about an eBook version of the book, well I am happy to tell you that those should be available in about two (2) weeks. The publisher is working on finalizing the files for that as it needs to be formatted for many different devices and platforms. Once I know when those are available, I will post an update.
Other Places to Buy The Condemned
I have had a few people living in Asia asking about the book, which is awesome, but they live in places where Amazon or Barnes & Noble are not ideal to order from due to shipping costs. I am currently working with Book Depository to try and get my book listed for sale there, which should make international sales easier for those who have difficulties ordering from the aforementioned retailers.
I am also reaching out many other book sellers including Powell’s Books, Alibris Books, Better World Books, Biblio and more. Once I find out if they are willing to list my book, I will be sure to let you all know.
Local Support
I went to visit a local bookstore, The Vero Beach Book Center, which is a truly amazing book store. I asked them if they would be willing to sell my book in stores and left a paperback copy with them. They are going to review it on Monday and let me know. I am also going to visit the Riverview Coffee, Tea & Book Shop, which also sells books, to see if they would be willing to do the same thing.
I have also reached out to some of the local newspapers and news websites to see if they would be willing to announce a new local author and his book. My hope is that it will be a great opportunity to promote not only myself and the book, but also the local businesses who are selling it and supporting me. Fingers crossed for that one! 🤞
A BIG Thank You
To those of you who have bought my debut novel The Condemned on either Amazon or Barnes & Noble thus far, I want to say thank you so very much! Your support is everything. I believe many of you will start receiving your copies sometimes between today and next Monday. I am both excited and admittedly anxious about the response the book is going to get. If you enjoy the book, it would be so helpful if you leave a review on the respective site from where you ordered it. Also, if you’re on Goodreads, feel free to rate it there.
Thank you all again so very much for taking the time to read this and support my work. Take care 😁
