New Book
Jul 03, 2022 2:21 am
Sorry- it sent before I completed it! Starting Monday the 11th; our actual launch day set for the 12th in advertising, I have set up for the newest book in the Post Generations of the Oberllyn's to be free to download from Amazon from the 11th to the 15th. In talking it over at the Amazon help desk, (since many had told me they had posted their reviews and they weren't showing) I found that when I give it to you as a bookfunnel book, that Amazon's new policies will discount or not even run your reviews because you are not a "verified purchaser" or "kindle customer." It puts you at a disadvantage because you go to all the work of writing a review which in many cases, they won't accept; they will accept the numerical value you put on it (The 1 to 5 stars thing) but not what you have written. I think it is unfair as it keeps me from actually sending it to you early for review, knowing that you won't be able to write a review for it. It also keeps you from becoming one of their preferred reviewers which has a lot of perks to it. I have some questions I'd like you to think about and reply to me, if you don't mind:
a)would you rather get a free copy through bookfunnel early, then download a free copy when I put it on special for other folks, so you could post a review then?
b) Would you rather just download a copy when it becomes available for free on launch day? I would not expect to see your review for a couple weeks after. It makes it not have reviews on launch day, which is too bad, but they will at least show up eventually. Amazon is leaning towards not allowing ARC readers to leave reviews.
I am open to suggestions, I do appreciate your honest reviews.
The newest book is called Alex's honor: it is live right now but won't be free until July 12 and will be free until the 15th. Thank you for your help.

Oh, and for those interested, I am running a giveaway right now on my website, and I have started a series of hints on how to write/publish your book; things I've learned over the past 12 years I think you might enjoy. my website as always, is https://travelerpelton.com
And for those who do write me a review on my new book this month, please let me know when it shows up and I shall enter you in a contest just for my arc readers for an autographed paperback over of anyone of my books you would like in paperback for your library. If you use a code name for your reviews, like bookzilla or book butterfly or mothdown (you folks have great imaginations), let me know so I can figure out who to send the prize to if you win. Thanks again!
