New Prices

Since becoming a writer and author, I’ve turned in to a worrying machine. Seriously, I said this before in other pasts, but I used to be so decided, so sure of everything, then it all changed when I dove deep into writing. Now, I’m so undecided and not sure of anything. I change my mind about my books, my path, my writing, my methods, etc, a thousand times – per day!

And that means I’m undecided about my books’ prices too.

I’ve always knew I would charge $2.99 for Destiny Gift and then, when the second one was out, change it to $0.99. The second one (Soul Oath)  and the third one (The Everlasting Circle) will cost $2.99 each, though, and the novella (Cup of Life, #2.5) will cost $0.99.

However, since book #2 (Soul Oath) is almost here, I changed Destiny Gift to it’s new price a little early.

So, here’s where you can buy DESTINY GIFT for only $0.99: 

Amazon | Barnes&Noble | Kobo | Apple

Soon, Soul Oath will be on sale on the same outlets!

 

When I published Breaking the Reins (in August), $3.99 was the new $2.99. It seemed that all new, quality self-pubbed books (especially NA contemp romance) was being published for $3.99. I wondered about that a bit and I researched.

Most authors use a length system for their prices, like:

Novelette (up to 15k words) = $0.99
Novella (15k-40k words) = $1.99
Novels (40k-80k) = $2.99
Long novels (over 80k) = $3.99

And there are many authors who actually charge more for their novels ($4.99), no matter the length.

So, since Breaking the Reins is 110,000 words long and it cost a lot more than the others to produce and a lot more time to write, I ended up charging $3.99 for it. Then, talking to my hubs about pricing this past week, I realized readers don’t really care about length. They care if it’s a novella or novel, and a novel can be 50k words or 150k words – and the price should be the same.

For that, I just changed Breaking the Reins price to $2.99.

I see authors playing with prices all the time. I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to look like I’m toying with my readers – they are too precious to me to play around with. But, one good thing about being indie is that I’m in charge and I can change things a bit.

So, these new prices are for you!

Cheers,

Book One of the Everlast Trilogy:

DESTINY GIFT

DestinyGift - medium

Genre: NA fantasy
Word Count: 73,000
Release date: April 1, 2013

Thirty years in the future, a sinister New York City exists in permanent darkness.

A student at the secured NYU, nineteen-year-old Nadine has visions of Victor Gianni, an imaginary guy she has real feelings for. Afraid of being truly insane, she explains the visions away as simple daydreams, but she can no longer deny them when she bumps into Victor in real life. But this Victor doesn’t know her, and turns her away. After the encounter, Nadine’s visions change to those of eerie fates, gods she’s never heard of, demons with sharp claws they are not too timid to use … and instructions.

To discover if she’s losing her mind, Nadine follows the vague directions—with the real, rude and reluctant Victor—leading to a man who knows it all: Nadine can restore an ancient creed by unveiling the clues on her visions, and bring sunlight and peace to the world again. But that’s only if the demons and the other evil forces behind the darkness don’t stop her first.

Everlast #2 has a title! And a novella!

Hey friends!

To me, almost as bad as writing blurbs for books is to choose titles for them–that when I don’t know the title before start writing, which was the case of Everlast #2.

Destiny Gift was called Everlast at first, but after I had written half of it, I knew Destiny Gift was a better title. Then, I was having a lot of trouble choosing the title for Everlast #2.

Until I started writing it and thinking about the keys things that happen during the book, and talking to my friend Lauren (hi Lauren!) and it came to me.

So, I give you the title of Everlast #2: SOUL OATH.

And here is the blurb (careful: the blurb contains spoilers from book #1):

 

It’s been three months since Nadine last heard from Victor, Micah or Ceris, allowing her to concentrate on her own life. But until Victor and Micah find the scepters that will restore them as true gods, their human bodies will require her healing touch and it’s only a matter of time until they wreak havoc on her life again. 

As if to prove that, Victor shows up at the hospital dragging along with him a swarm of demons. Nadine is forced to flee to safety. Despite her attempts to keep her loved ones protected, the demons find her, and they bring her to Imha, the goddess of Chaos.

Now, confronted by her greatest fear, Nadine finds a new motivation. Vengeance. And when seeking revenge, no risk is too great, including her own life.

There’s one more piece of news here.

If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen my post about a novella.

So, my dear editor suggested I wrote Soul Oath from Nadine’s, Victor’s and Micah’s POV. However, I wasn’t so sure about that. So I thought, I could skip the multiple POVs, but write an epilogue from Micah’ POV … then it struck me. I could skip the epilogue too and write an entire novella from Micah’s POV.

And this novella is called CUP OF LIFE.

Here’s the blurb:

 

He couldn’t bear living for eternity if she couldn’t.

 

I know the blurb is short and simple, but I think it creates the impact it should. And the readers following the series will get it.

You can add it on goodreads clicking here.

 

Both covers are on the works by the awesome Sarah Hansen from Okay Creations, and once they are ready, we’ll do a cover reveal!
