annathepiper: (Winter)
Y’all may have heard that in the last couple of weeks the Seattle area has been hit by four, count ‘em, FOUR different snowstorms. We have a perfectly ridiculous amount of snow still on the ground, and while the winter barrage does finally appear to be over, last night’s warmer weather has meant a LOT of power outages around here. There are an awful lot of trees with heavy snow on them. And falling branches as well as full on falling trees have taken out power lines all over the place.

Including at our place. We don’t have an estimate yet as to when our power will be back. We’re fine, thankfully. We have gas-powered fireplaces to keep the house warm, and our stove is also gas-powered, so we can make hot tea or cocoa, and we can cook things.

And we’ve got Internet at least on our mobile devices even if our main Internet service is out. But since that service IS out, all the resources we host on our servers are down for the time being. This includes my primary author site at angelahighland.com, as well as my personal website at annathepiper.org.

I have however also finally moved my angelahighland.info domain over to point at my backup website up on Wordpress.com. This is actually the second power outage we’ve had in this stint of weather. After the first, and knowing we’d have more storms on the way, I decided to go ahead and do that domain switch so that I could at least continue to have info available about my books if my primary sites go down.

So I bought a premium plan at Wordpress.com, which let me assign a domain to my site there. It also let me get one of their nicer-looking themes. Now I’ve got angelahighland.info as my official domain there, and I’ve prettied the place up a bit.

All of which leads me to one more interesting bit of news. In the middle of updating that website, as well as the equivalent pages on angelahighland.com, I discovered that the entire Rebels of Adalonia trilogy is on sale right now for 99 cents each! So right now you can get the whole trilogy in ebook form for well under the price of a paperback.

If you’re interested, I encourage you to hop over to angelahighland.info and look at the official pages for Valor of the Healer, Vengeance of the Hunter, and Victory of the Hawk for the roundup of all the places you can buy these books. They’re available on all major ebook sites, as well as directly from Harlequin, the parent company of my publisher Carina Press. And remember, I wrote those books under the name of Angela Highland, so if you want to search for them on Amazon (or wherever), use that name rather than Angela Korra’ti.

On the books’ individual pages, you can see their blurbs as well as links off to where you can read samples. Do remember: you do need to read all three of them to get the complete story. The Rebels books are NOT standalone novels!

And do leap on this ASAP if you’re interested. The pricing on the Rebels books is out of my control, and I do NOT get notified when the books have a sale price like this, or when that sale price might expire!

Please also do spread the word if you would. Word of mouth is critical for little authors like me. :) Thanks in advance if you can share the news around!

Whoa hey, Valor of the Healer went on sale for 99 cents on Amazon–and I only just found out about this when I saw Valor‘s numbers start going up on NovelRank. So far this sale appears to be specific to Amazon.com–none of the other major vendors are price-matching, and Amazon’s international sites don’t appear to be picking up the price shift either.

But, if you’re a Kindle reader who buys from the US store, and you don’t already have Valor of the Healer, now would be a real good time to snap it up. I don’t know how long this price will be active, since I wasn’t warned this was going to happen! So jump on it now while the jumping is good.

If you know others who are US-based Kindle readers who you think might like the book, spread the word, won’t you? Or consider gifting it to someone! Amazon does let you do that! 😉 And don’t forget–Vengeance of the Hunter and Victory of the Hawk are both steals at $2.99, so you can plow through the whole trilogy quite inexpensively.

Valor‘s Amazon page is right over here.

Thanks to all to spread the word!

First up, I had a couple of excellent Boosting the Signal posts this past Friday! Cory Dale sent me an excerpt from her new release Demon Fare, and Jake Elliot, fellow member of NIWA, came by to tell me about his “mock-epic” fantasy The Wrong Way Down. Check their posts out if you missed ‘em when they went up!

***

Second, Bone Walker has a release date! AND A COVER! \m/ The ebook edition will be officially releasing on February 3rd! The official Bone Walker page has been updated accordingly! And the cover is now included on the homepage as well!

And as soon as I have a viable test mobi, I will be putting the book up for pre-order on Amazon. Other pre-order links will be following as soon as I can make them.

All hail Dara for her cover work and Kiri Moth for the art!

***

Third, speaking of Bone Walker‘s march to release, I have already asked current proofreaders to get any noted typos back to me by Wednesday the 14th. Because Dara needs to commence work on the print and PDF versions ASAP in order to maximize our chances of having the print edition ready by Conflikt. So if you’re proofreading and you didn’t already see a request about that, do please get back to me by Wednesday!

On a related note, however, if you’d like to sanity-check ebook formats for me, stand by. As soon as I have a viable test mobi, I will need it tested on any and all available Kindle devices. I personally own a Kindle Fire HDX 7″ and will be using that for testing purposes. But all other types of Kindle will be welcome.

Likewise, I have two Nooks: a Nook HD and one of the new 7″ Samsung Nooks. I also have a Kobo Mini. Both will be used to test. If you have other type of Nook or Kobo device, though, those would be helpful.

AND, any iOS device owners comfortable with using iBooks OR Android device owners comfortable with getting books onto your devices, testing from you would be welcome too. Though tablets will be most useful once we have the PDF ready to test.

***

Last but not least, don’t forget, Faerie Blood remains on sale for 99 cents to celebrate Bone Walker‘s imminent release! It will remain on sale until the end of February, at which point I’ll bump the price back up. So if you haven’t gotten the ebook of Faerie Blood yet, now would be a REALLY good time. ;D

And if you’re so inclined, do please spread the word about the sale! The sale price applies wherever Faerie Blood‘s ebook edition is sold, and I will honor it for any requests to buy the book directly from me as well!

If you missed them over the weekend, I put up two Boosting the Signal posts featuring recent releases from Dragonwell Press–for The Blackwell Family Secret: The Guardians of Sin and Nine Planets.

Check them out, won’t you? Dragonwell is the venture spearheaded by fellow former Drollerie author Anna Kashina, and a couple other former Drollerie authors have shown up there too–notably, Cindy Lynn Speer, who wrote The Chocolatier’s Wife, which I adored. Their website is here.

***

Meanwhile, as of last night, I finished the editing sweep for Bone Walker! Which means I’m now significantly closer to getting this book ready to finally deploy to Kickstarter backers, and then to the world! \m/

***

And speaking of Bone Walker, don’t forget–Faerie Blood remains on sale for a tidy little 99 cents for all ebook editions! Details are here.

As always whenever I put one of my indie books on sale, the price applies to all places where the book is sold, and also to anyone who’d like to buy the book directly from me (which is the best option if you’d like the fancy PDF).

***

And continuing the Bone Walker theme, don’t forget either that the soundtrack for Bone Walker is available for pre-order right over here on Bandcamp! There are preview tracks and everything!

Dara’s busily working on the cover art and liner notes for the CD, and if you’d like one of the physical discs she’s having made, a pre-order will be the best way to get it!

***

And speaking of pre-orders–Victory of the Hawk IS already available for pre-order on some sites. I’ve seen it show up on Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and Google Play! So if you’re a customer on any of those sites, do consider grabbing the book. Links are on Victory’s official page!

Because hey, it’s Christmas, and ALSO because I’m about to be making the hard push to get Bone Walker ready for you all, Faerie Blood is now officially BACK ON SALE for 99 cents!

The sale price should now be active at Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, and Google Play, and as soon as iTunes Connect makes itself available again (it’s inaccessible until the 29th), I’ll be changing the price there, too. All buy links for the book are on its official page!

This price will be in effect until the end of February 2015, since it’ll double as a promotion for Bone Walker as well. So spread the word if you’re so inclined, and if you happen to have gotten a shiny ereader as a Christmas present, no time like NOW to put Kendis and Company on it!

annathepiper: (Book Geek)

Just because I can, I’m putting Faerie Blood on sale for $2.99 through December 1st, Cyber Monday!

If you want to buy it from Smashwords, you can use the coupon code EC86P here.

A promotional price has been set on Kobo to put the price at $2.99 (and international equivalents) through December 1st. You can get Faerie Blood from Kobo here.

A promotional price is on Google Play now as well and you can get the book from Google Play here. (They’ve actually put it down to $2.51 since Google Play knocks a bit more off the price in general.)

B&N doesn’t have a mechanism to let me set a promotional price, so I’ve just adjusted the pricing there. You can get Faerie Blood for the Nook here.

A promotional price has been set on iTunes for the book there. Faerie Blood is available on all the iTunes stores I have access to; a full list of iTunes links is available on the book’s official page!

And I can’t set a promotional price for Kindle since I’m not on KDP Select–but I’ve set the price there down to $2.99 as well. All of the various Kindle links for the book are on the book’s official page!

Please feel free to spread the word around about this sale as you like!

Hi all!

I’ve been investigating a problem reported to me about Valor of the Healer on Australian sites, since the book’s still on sale for 99 cents. It had not been deployed properly to iTunes Australia, which made no sense given that they have Vengeance of the Hunter available, as well as Valor‘s audiobook. Carina Press’s people in charge of deploying our books out to third-party channels have happily gotten that resolved for me, and now both Valor and Vengeance are available to Australian customers via iBooks.

The bad news though is that I’m also told that Australian channels are not participating in the current price promotion, and that the Australian channels do their own promotions. Which would explain why Valor is not showing up at a lower price on iTunes Australia or on Amazon Australia.

So if you’re in Australia (or anywhere else besides North America and the UK, which are the places that the 99 cent promo is actually active), and you want to take advantage of the sale price, the best thing to do is to go straight to Carina’s own site and buy it there. I’m told directly from our senior editor that we don’t have any territorial restrictions on who can buy books on the site. So any issues with buying the book there would be technical, not based on territorial rights, and the site’s customer support people should be able to assist.

If you are outside North America and the UK, and you have issues with getting either of my Carina books, do let Carina’s customer service people know. But let me know, too, if you would, just so I know what’s going on! I have faith that Carina’s people will be on top of any issues you run into and will get you set up, but I like to be in the loop too.

Thanks again to all for your support!

And now, for some amusing numbers!

I released the current, second edition of Faerie Blood into the wild in June of 2012. Up through May of 2014, I had a total of 335 sales over all for the book. My previous best sales month had been July 2012, pretty much right after I released the book, and January 2013, when I ran a $2.99 sale that got some signalboosting from fellow Carina authors.

Kicking the price down to 99 cents, though, has meant that in June and July of this year so far, I have had a total of 167 sales. A few of those were in early June, before I launched the sale. So it’s more like 160 sales as a direct result of the current low price.

June 2014 is my new record sales month, on the strength of the initial spike once I kicked the price on Faerie Blood down. June scored 97 sales. We’re now eight days into July, and July is well and thoroughly in second place but coming up steadily, with the current tally at 70 sales. At my current rough rate of sales (I’m seeing 2-4 a day coming in right now, mostly from Amazon), it’s reasonable to expect July may pass June.

Overall this means that roughly 33 percent of my current sales numbers are from this sale alone. NEAT.

And if I can get another 160 sales or so before the end of the month, I will DOUBLE the lifetime sales total for the book. If you want to help me make that happen, remember, signalboost! Signalboost! Signalboost!

Amazon sales are certainly welcome but I encourage signalboosting in particular to everywhere else I’m selling the book as well. B&N has clocked in so far with a total of 19 sales, iBooks has 3, Kobo has 5, and Google Play has 8. Smashwords so far is the only place where I’m selling Faerie Blood that hasn’t yet joined this party.

(I would be PARTICULARLY happy if more Kobo sales showed up. Because one, I love that Kobo has partnered up with indie booksellers. Two, they are a Force in Canada and I do love me some Canada. And three, they recently implemented a shopping cart on their site. The lack of a shopping cart on major ebook-selling sites has driven me spare for ages, and now that Kobo finally went and built one, I would love to see people filling it up. Ideally, with my stuff! But with other stuff as well. Reward them for their coding efforts!)

MEANWHILE: I’ve seen only a few confirmed sales of Valor of the Healer showing up as a result of the sale–but as I’ve previously mentioned, those numbers are much harder for me to track. The first wave of any really interesting numbers should be showing up for me by the end of this week! Still, though, the Valor sale needs your love as much as the Faerie Blood one! MORE, even, because it’s not lasting as long! Only 9 days left before Valor returns to its previous price!

Well, yesterday’s numbers weren’t as awesome as Monday’s–but that said, yesterday was still my third best sale day ever for Faerie Blood, so I’d say that was still a triumph!

Many, many thanks to those of you who’ve bought either Faerie Blood OR Valor of the Healer thus far, or signalboosted. Please, please do keep signalboosting, it helps immensely!

(Note in particular as well that on the Valor of the Healer post, I’ve updated that to include links off to the official CarinaPress.com pages for the other Carina titles participating in the promotion. I encourage anyone who’s interested in seeing Carina’s other SF/F offerings to check those out!)

If you’re on Twitter, here are a couple of shortened URLs you can use to plug into tweets, which go to the two posts I made with full info on the sales (and of course you can use these URLs on Facebook or Google+ or wherever, but the shortened URLs are ideal for Twitter):

It’s the morning of July 1st, and I’m delighted to report that I’m now sitting at 97 total sales of Faerie Blood for the month of June 2014. iBooks and Google Play were both lagging behind on updating their numbers, and some of the transactions at Amazon and Kobo didn’t finish processing until this morning–so they’re going to count as July numbers. This is my current final tally for June, though:

  • Amazon: 74 (US, UK, DE, and CA, mostly US sales)
  • Barnes and Noble: 11 (all US)
  • Kobo: 2
  • iBooks: 1
  • Google Play: 8 (one pre-sale, the rest after the sale started; mix of US and CA)
  • Smashwords: 1 (pre-sale)

And before the sale actually started, these were the numbers I had for June beforehand:

  • Smashwords: 1
  • Google Play: 1

And as of this writing, I’ve already got 11 sales for July transactions–most of which were rolled over from yesterday as they hadn’t been fully processed yet. But so far this morning’s starting off well!

And as you can see, the sale is so far making a world of difference. Faerie Blood is blazing up the Amazon rankings, climbing out of the six-digit pit it’d been languishing in, and currently (as of this writing) parked at… well. Let’s let a screencap do the talking, shall we? This was taken as of last night around midnight:

This Fails to Suck

This Fails to Suck

It’s already been proposed to me that I might want to keep the 99 cent price point. It’s way too early for me to make that call–but it’s going to be real interesting to see how the numbers behave as we head into July. I’ve now, in the last 24 hours, completely blown away my previous monthly and one-day sales counts for this book. If this trend continues, July’s numbers might get truly crazytalk.

MEANWHILE! I do not unfortunately have access to direct sales numbers for Valor of the Healer, so I can’t track that book nearly as well as I can Faerie Blood. I do, however, use NovelRank.com to get an approximation of how my books are behaving on Amazon, and as of last night around midnight, this is what NovelRank showed me about Valor.

This Likewise Also Fails to Suck

This Likewise Also Fails to Suck

I’ve been seeing the book’s ranking over on B&N go up, too. No budging yet on Kobo, as near as I can tell. And I won’t see any real numbers until later this week, when the portal Harlequin provides its authors gets updated with the weekly numbers. More bulletins on this as events warrant.

ALSO: I’ve been seeing quite a few folks tweet for me, or signal-boost on Facebook or Google+. Many, MANY thanks to you all. And if you’re a new person coming in to check me out because of seeing either of my books on sale, greetings to you! Grab a chair and raise a jar, and I hope you enjoy my work!

One new reader who found me on Twitter certainly did, anyway. Speaking of things that don’t suck, I know I’ve managed to please a reader when she forgets to feed her dog!

Now would be a real good time to grab this ebook if you haven’t already–and if you’re so inclined and you want to scamper on around to read Vengeance of the Hunter, that wouldn’t suck either! Full details on that are on this post!

Speaking of Carina, they’ve put up a genre spotlight post to emphasize that why yes, Carina does sell fantasy novels! C’mon over and check out what other new releases besides mine Carina’s got in the genre, won’t you?

AND, my Here Be Magic peeps have a post up highlighting Sonya Clark’s new release, the various titles of ours Carina’s put on sale, and a few extra goodies available as well! Check it out!

They handed out the Locus awards for 2014 last night, right here in Seattle! Congratulations to all of the winners, and y’all should go clickie for a roundup of Things You Might Want to Add to Your Reading Lists.

That’s the news for this Monday!

Carina Press has now commenced the $0.99 price promotion for Valor of the Healer! Which means that if you haven’t read it yet, now would be a really good time to grab it. This promotion will be running through July 19th, so this price WILL be a limited-time offer!

As of this morning I can confirm that the price is set on all the major ebook vendors where Carina does business. So here are the links!

Carina Press | Amazon | Nook | iTunes | Kobo | Google Play

All other places you can buy the book, including international links, are on the Valor of the Healer page!

A few quick questions you may be having:

I don’t own an ereader! Can I buy the book?

If you don’t want to buy the book from any specific device ecosystem, your best bet will be to buy directly from the Carina Press site, at least if you’re in the US or Canada. (For reasons of possible problems using international payment methods, which is out of my control, apologies in advance for that!) If you’re elsewhere I recommend the Kobo link or Google Play.

However, keep in mind that you don’t need a specific ereader device in order to read ebooks. Assuming you own the computer you’re reading this post on, several of the major ebook vendors have desktop apps you can use to read their stuff. Amazon has a Kindle app, B&N has a Nook app, Apple has iBooks, and Kobo has a desktop app as well. Depending on who you buy from you may also have the ability to just read the book right on the web.

All of these vendors should also have apps available you can use to read books on your smartphone or tablet, if you have a device that falls into either category.

But I want a print edition!

Apologies, but so far my Carina titles are digital-only. If this sale does well, though, it’ll help improve the chances that Carina might decide to add me to the list of authors they put into print.

So if you’d like to see that happen, I strongly encourage you to buy the book if you haven’t already. Buy it as a gift for ebook-reading friends, if you like! And especially, spread the word.

Are other Carina titles on sale right now?

YES! Several other fantasy/sci-fi/paranormal romance titles are involved in this price promotion. Look for:

Any other questions?

Let me know!

annathepiper: (Alan YES!)

As of right now I am putting Faerie Blood on sale for the low, low price of $0.99 USD! (And appropriate equivalents in other countries!)

It’ll take a bit for the pricing to propagate out to all the places the book’s being sold, but I’m going ahead and doing it now so that hopefully it’ll be at that price by July 1st. I’ll be running this promotion through July 31st. Most of you who know me probably have already bought the book, but if you haven’t, this’ll be a great time to snap it up. Or, for you to spread the word to friends and loved ones, if you want to help!

As of this writing the sale price is confirmed live at these US links:

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Smashwords | Google Play | Kobo | iBooks

These are all the primary links for where you can buy the ebook version. If you’re not in the US, I’m pretty sure that the Kobo and Google Play links SHOULD redirect you to your actual locale. (If you’re on Google Play and the link doesn’t work for you, please let me know and I’ll activate a local price for you.)

All of the rest of the links for where to buy the book can be found on the Faerie Blood page!

AND–if you want to buy the book directly from me, particularly if you want the fancy PDF we made that’s laid out like the print version but also includes an extra high-res black-and-white pencil of the cover art, I will apply the .99c price to that as well. Best ways to buy from me are the same as for the print version, as I describe further down in this post.

Meanwhile, this sale will ALSO apply to my stock of print copies of the book. I have a good backlog of copies, and for the duration of this sale, I will waive ALL SHIPPING CHARGES, no matter where I might need to mail it. So if you’d like to snag a print copy of the book, talk to me about how to send me money for it, and where to send you a book! I continue to ask $15 USD for the print copies, or the appropriate equivalents for international readers. (Exception: Canadians, I’ll take straight up $15 CAD from you all, too. Because I like you, Canada. <3)

If you want to buy a print copy, the best way to get money to me is via Paypal to my gmail address, annathepiper. Alternately, I will also accept equivalent credit at Amazon US, Amazon CA, Barnes and Noble, iTunes US, iTunes CA, or Google Play. And I’m open to other places where I can buy ebooks or digital music if you want to negotiate.

SO EXCITING! Let’s see if this does anything amusing to my sales numbers. Please feel free to spread the word of this to all corners of the Net! :D And if you’re on Twitter, here, have some tweets you can steal to spread the word if you want!

Music, magic and geekery! Faerie Blood, an urban fantasy by @annathepiper, now on sale for .99 where ebooks are sold! http://bit.ly/1rIw4F7
