A (Lengthy) Word About Livi #5

As mentioned on the blog, it’s been a rough couple of months. Well, a rough year. Years. Decade. Life. Whatever.

But anyway, this fall also brought also brought a sudden inexplicable sales drop on all sites but Kobo, the worst it’s been in several years, right after I had a good month with Shiva’s Bow‘s release. It was baffling, honestly, and completely against the trend of this past year.

Except it also coincided with a sudden spike in piracy.

Solomon’s Seal Anniversary Sale

Livi leapt into the world one year ago today! To celebrate, Solomon’s Seal is on sale for 99c for two days only. I’m over at Mel’s today talking about why Livi isn’t a lone wolf heroine.

Tomorrow is also my birthday, so I’m on holidays this week and focused on writing/relaxing. What I’d really love as a gift is help spreading the word about the sale and hopefully bring in new readers. Please feel free to grab one of the graphics below, link to the book on your preferred platform, and tell your friends about it! A simple “Hey, I dug this book” might get new eyes on the series. Thank you!

Livi #3 is in progress; I’m still chipping away at it and should have a zero draft done this fall (probably not by the end of the month, but I’m trying).

Wherein Livi Talbot’s on Life Support

So titled because of this post. Hey, I like carrying a rough metaphor through, okay?

If you’ll indulge me for a moment, there are some things I have to get off my chest, and it may be lengthy and something I regret, but this is my page so, well, here we go–whatever, I do what I want.

Meet Livi Talbot on instaFreebie

Here’s the thing: I think you’d really like Solomon’s Seal. Readers tend to when they, y’know, read it. But this is a brand new series, different from my previous books, so I’m offering a ten-chapter free download through instaFreebie so you can meet Livi. That’s 1/3 of the book to give you a taste.

EX-DEBUTANTE. SINGLE MOTHER. TREASURE HUNTER.

Disowned and left penniless for getting pregnant as a teen, former celebutante Olivia Talbot was willing to do whatever it took to provide for her daughter…including become a treasure hunter. Since the Pulse hit, activating relics of legend, there are plenty of artifacts to be had—not to mention wealthy clients willing to pay top dollar for them.

Just as her daughter’s private school tuition cheque bounces, Livi gets an offer that could be the break she needs to return to some semblance of her former life. A potential new client wants her to travel to Ethiopia and retrieve the Seal of Solomon—a mythical ring said to control demons and djinn—and this bounty comes with one hell of a financial pay off.

The deadline: a week. The team: unreliable. The competition: her world-renowned archaeologist older brother. Nothing Livi can’t handle… Except the danger goes beyond a few subterranean serpent-dragons she might encounter or tangling with her employer’s deadly second-in-command. This client isn’t all he seems, and handing him the ring might be worse than what he’ll do to her—and her daughter—if she doesn’t.

Ready to go adventuring with a badass mom and her found family (and meet the delicious sometimes-tiger named West)? Head here to download ten chapters in your choice of ebook formats.

—–

Okay, so I’m also down to the wire this month awaiting payments from clients. Due to the rather crippling depression I went through last year (and am still in), I went several months without finishing any for-pay projects and I’m severely paying for it now (and despite releasing three Skyla books in the past six months, those royalties don’t even make a dent in my grocery bills). I have a sick cat, rent due, and a lot of panic attacks, so in case you or someone you know would like to finish your Skyla Dawn Cameron book collection, I’m offering a 25% off coupon on Payhip. Payhip is buying direct from me; I get payments immediately instead of two to three months from now as with third party sellers.  Just head here and use the coupon code CATS25. The same coupon works for Aunt Judy’s books if romance and HEAs is more your thing. Coupon is good until the end of the month.

ETA: I forgot, I also have print books for sale. Of mine, which can be signed, I have the full Demons of Oblivion series, River, Rebellion, Solomon’s Seal, and I think a copy of Soulless. $10ea + shipping ($7 for Rebellion). Shipping a single book in Canada is about $7 and in the US is about $10. Combined shipping is less. If you want some books, contact me and you can buy them first, and pay shipping after I calculate it. If you don’t mind waiting until next month, I can also include a swag pack.

I also have a bunch of unsigned copies of Judy Bagshaw’s out of print books, including Through All Eternity, Leading Ladies (anthology), Teacher’s Pet, Love by the Pound, At Long Last Love, and I *think* a few copies of Lady Blue. $5 ea plus shipping. Again, contact me.

Odin’s Spear e-ARC Giveaway

I still have another round of proofreading to do, which means I’ll be making the final files for Odin’s Spear Feb 7 release next month. Want to read it early? Unless you’re a Patron of Snark who gets e-ARCs, here’s your only other chance.

Review Solomon’s Seal. Anywhere. Give it five stars, give it one (although why you’d want to enter to win an ARC if you hated it is beyond me). Make it five paragraphs or five words. Doesn’t matter–reviews up a book’s ranking on stores and some advertisers want a book to have 10+ reviews before you can use their services (should I ever be so inclined), so anything works, and this little book needs all the help it can get.

What can you win?

  • e-ARC of Odin’s Spear (est. delivery: early Jan 2017)
  • signed print copy of Solomon’s Seal (est. delivery: Feb 2017)
  • signed print copy of Odin’s Spear (est. delivery: Feb 2017)
  • West (tiger) bookmark (est. delivery: Feb 2017)
  • your name used in Zheng’s Tomb (Livi #3, currently on hold but hopefully finished in a few months). Want an example? Look at Danielle, Mel, and Sparky in Oblivion.
  • probably other goodies I’ve yet to decide upon

Enter through the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this post. Also, reviews already posted still count as much as new ones do. Not every store requires you to purchase the book there, so you can post your review multiple places.

A winner will be drawn January 2nd 2017.

Solomon’s Seal is also currently on sale at Payhip if you use the coupon code 2016ISTERRIBLE, good through the end of the year.

Also until the end of the year, all Patrons of Snark (in good standing payment wise in January) will be thanked in the acknowledgements of Odin’s Spear–sort of a “this book is brought to you by” kind of thing. Still a few weeks left! I just posted the first five chapters of Odin’s Spear for patrons as well.

patreon-odinsspear

Also on the Livi Talbot front, I’m offering tidbits and Easter eggs about the series on my Facebook page if you want to play along: every “like” on this post = a different factoid.

Finally, Bloodlines is on sale for 99c until the end of the year. Tell your friends! The series is now complete so it’s a great time to start without any waiting for a future book.

bloodlinessale

I hope you enter to win Odin’s Spear–it was a difficult book that took a lot of work to polish up but I’m excited about Livi’s second outing and can’t wait for people to get to read it.
