3. Heaven to Betsy Discounted Through First Week After Release
Heaven to Betsy (Emily #1) is my new release, out April 2nd, but already available EVERYWHERE for e-book pre-order. Until April 8th, the e-book is only 99 cents, discounted from its regular price of $4.99.
Like the Michele series, the Emily series features crossover characters from Katie & Annalise. Katie’s big-haired bestie Emily takes the lead role, and you’ll see lots of Katie & friends throughout the series.
Here’s the blurb: When a dead body swan-dives from a balcony into the pool at a wedding, gossip comes to a halt about disgraced paralegal and former rodeo queen Emily—whose husband left her for a woman who turns out to be a man. Enter Jack, a secretive attorney and sexy mix of cowboy and Indian. She refuses to work for him, until she learns about the disappearance of the six-year old daughter of his notorious client Sofia, the wedding shooter, who is also an illegal immigrant. Emily feels a strange affinity with the girl and launches a desperate search for her. Bodies pile up in her wake across Texas and New Mexico as the walls around her own secrets begin to crumble, and the authorities question whether the child is anything but a figment of her imagination.
The paperback will be available no later than April 2nd and audio by the end of the summer.
Earth to Emily (Emily #2) is slated for August 2015, and Hell to Pay (Emily #3) for December 2015. After the Emily series comes the three-book Ava series (hello!), then we’ll circle back for the 2nd and 3rd books in the Michele series. Phew! It’s going to stay busy for a few years, for me.

January 2015 Update to Content of What Kind of Loser Indie Publishes, and How Can I Be One, Too?
Do you own the e-book version of What Kind of Loser Indie Publishes, and How Can I Be One, Too? If so, the content was updated January 2015 and you can re-download your e-book from the sales site you got it from. If you want a paperback with the freshest copy, Amazon carries it.
Featured in the update is the how-to for the sales strategy that resulted in my full-time author status, as it pushed my income up nearly 1,000% (and more topics, too). Yes, that’s one-thousand percent. Maybe you’ll want to check it out ;-).
