Letting readers in on a new move…
Been doing a lot of research these past few weeks, especially since releasing the new series. Looking at numbers, sales, and comments. And looking at the market, especially for this genre of book. And truthfully, the majority of these books are moving nicely in Kindle Unlimited.
Book sales are tough these days. Being wide is no picnic, and even though KDP has screwed me out of royalties before, I am going to take a chance and move the Women’s Paranormal Fiction books into Kindle Unlimited. I have 2 more books coming in the present series, Ravenwood Hills, and at least 4 books (crosses fingers) in the upcoming Women’s Paranormal Fiction series, The Sword Keepers. I will also be releasing an epic Fantasy duo-logy, into Kindle Unlimited as well.
I am also enrolled in Kindle Unlimited because I can be a voracious reader myself, and 9.99 a month for access to as many books as I can read in that month, vs $2.99 to $4.99 per book—especially in these trying financial times—seemed like a bargain to me.
But I will not be moving long established series out of being wide (meaning these books will still be available outside of Amazon). Eldritch Files, Discord and Rhyme, Castle Falls and Cast In Shadow will remain as they are, and hopefully, the Great Electron willing, new books in these series will be coming, if not in 2021, but in 2022.
I’m still juggling a day job and writing, and learning to be grateful for every day.
