Beyond The Archer’s Arrow comes out next week!
Realistically, the release date will likely be the 29th, since the 28th is a Sunday. But it’ll be the beginning of next week that it’ll be available on Amazon if all goes well!
Fun fact about being an author though.
When you buy our books through Amazon or any other retailer, we get what are called royalties.
You might be thinking, what are royalties?
It’s what is left over after the publisher, the editor, the seller, the dog, and the guinea pig are paid.
Authors are lucky if they get a fraction of the sale of their work.
So, I prefer when people buy directly through me. I don’t have a publisher, editor, cover designer, or anyone else to pay because I do all that myself. So I get all (excluding taxes) the payment on what my books are actually worth. That’s why I sell at such reasonable prices.
I’m extremely grateful that I don’t have to go through that whole line of people in order to get paid for putting my heart into words that I then share with the world.
My dreams have really come true in regards to being an author and I’m so, unbelievably blessed to have the opportunity to own my own work and receive payment for living my dreams.
That being said, when you give a book a good review, that bumps the novel up in Amazon’s list of what’s popular and what’s not, therefore, getting it more noticed. Same with Goodreads. If you put out a review, to my understanding, it’s still seen as good feedback to Amazon, even if it’s a bad review.
Bottom line of today’s topic, buy local. That’s helping out the artist or author more than if you were to buy online. And review on Amazon! Good reviews help get our work noticed and shares goodness!
See you on release day!
Love you guys!
