I was reading a new study. It was talking about eBook prices and trends. Length of books etc. I had been considering for some time taking down some of my books. Changing prices. Changing everything. For so long I have struggled to update all my books. I have wasted countless hours and dollars on this pursuit.
I finally realized, much like one of my characters, greed has destroyed many a man (and woman). Also, 5x0 is still 0 (per my favorite highschool teacher).
I may never be a prolific author like I am artist and poet. I may never have a series of books like some of my friends. That is OK. Verses of Athine is my crowning jewel. I have it in paper and it is awesome. I have the title I wanted.
Sure, I lose all the pretty reviews. Hopefully my reviewers will forgive me and rally to my side to review again my works. Sure I lose all the hard work on the covers. I lose a lot, but I am hoping to gain more.
I am now extremely happy with my books.
So, what AM I yammering about?
Athine Verses: The Beginning and my short stories remain free. However, The Narkurru, The Blood Sisters, and Worlds Collide are ONLY in Verses of Athine. AND I changed it to 3.99. So, if you go looking for my books that is what happened.
The Secret of Genetic Corp X will remain stand alone at 2.99 as will Erosion of the Heart. These will be in paper soon.
This all comes from simplicity and soul searching. Getting back to the roots I started with when I wanted to sell affordable art. If I sell a million copies and only get a dollar each that would be way better than 6 @ 5.99.
Now maybe I can get ready for that book tour, the book fair, and stop feeling like I have to have 45 books to be successful!
