I don’t know why these work, but they do.
Anyway, here’s the challenge: I have a Goodreads Giveaway drive going: if I get nine more orders on the Backerkit store for a signed copy of FROZEN DREAMS, I will do a Goodreads Giveaway for five more signed copies. AND! If I get those orders in before the end of the month, I will make this recipe!
Blasphemous as it might be for having sugar in it.
This sucker’s almost done, too. Good thing I put all those hooks into FROZEN DREAMS, hey?

As you might recall, I am doing a giveaway drive. If I get ten (now nine!) more physical book sales from Backerkit, I will give away five physical books on Goodreads. Exciting, yes? Link for the Backerkit store here. $10 and $30 tiers only, alas.
Also: consider signing up for my mailing list for future updates! We’ve got things coming up this fall and winter, so it’s even reasonable!
From what I can tell, apparently everybody in the world decided to record an audiobook this year, and they don’t have the staff to process everybody’s entry in less than 30 business days. Technically, it’s only been 17 business days for me, but I have to start assuming that the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook will not be ready on September 1st. There’s no deadline, strictly speaking, but I’d like it off my to-do list*.
Alas. At least it’s paid for. And you can still get the regular book, of course.

*I’d also like whatever royalties accrue from it, too. Purchases this month will directly impact the November Kickstarter for the short story collection.
Reminder: if I get ten sign-ups for a physical copy of FROZEN DREAMS at the Backerkit store, I will do a Goodreads giveaway of five physical copies. What a bargain!
Continue reading Reminder: The FROZEN DREAMS Giveaway Challenge!It’s a little complicated, but it goes like this: as soon as I get ten new physical orders for FROZEN DREAMS (either the $10 physical signed copy or the $30 Post-Kickstarter tiers) in the pre-order store, I will do a Goodreads giveaway of five copies of the print book! …All right, so it isn’t very complicated. Still, it’s a giveaway, hey?

PS: This is gonna be the pre-order store, not Amazon. My original book budget assumed more in the way of physical conventions; I gotta get some of this stock out the door.
PPS: I’m not in the hole for anything; those books are sunk costs. I mostly would like to stop using underneath the dining room table for storage space.
I’ve been working on the Smashwords stuff today: updating my profile, self-creating an interview, and reading a book on the subject. Well, all right, I started reading the book first. That’s why I updated my profile and created the interview. It’s like everything else in the world, really. The work’s gotta get done, and if you don’t do the work, nobody’s going to swoop in and do it for you.
You can find the Smashwords version of FROZEN DREAMS here. The next book will go up more easily, I think. I’m already noting where I made mistakes the last time.
They can be found here in the pre-order store. I had budgeted in some extra copies for conventions, you understand. Only, there are no conventions. So, ten bucks plus shipping and handling gets you your own copy of FROZEN DREAMS! A bargain, I feel.
Alternatively, you can order FROZEN DREAMS on Amazon or Smashwords. It’s all good, man. But the more I sell this month, the more I’ll have to work with when the next project goes online this autumn…
Sales have dropped down over the last week, alas – but between Amazon (buy it here), Backerkit pre-orders (take advantage of the preorder store here before I get rid of the specials), and Smashwords (get non-Mobi formats here – and it’s on sale, too!) I’ve hit my target number for the month. I’ve also saturated the market at this point, probably, but starting tomorrow the next two books get prepped* (and, of course, the RPG worldbook will get playtested, and the audiobook is in final review). So, hey, successful month all around.

*Short story collection and novel. Trying to figure out how many stories to put in the former.
If you backed FROZEN DREAMS at the ADVENTURER level or above, you should be getting your email link to the Dropbox link to the audiobook files right about now. It’s a big one — which was a shock to me, and it shouldn’t have been. I mean, it’s a collection of hours’ worth of audio files. Those are going to be big, period.
Next up: sonnets and adventure for the game. And all other the stuff I gotta do. One project is to get the new manuscript ready for alpha reader by September 1st.
