Story Time by Linell Jeppsen
First, I want to apologize for my recent absence...I've been very busy finishing my latest novel, and opening a new brick and mortar book store. I've had no time to cruise around my favorite sites. I'm back now though, and wanted to tell you about the release of my new novel, Story Time...a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi book, app. 79,000 words, available on Kindle now. Of course, I welcome reviews, and hope you enjoy my new book. Oh! Before I forget-Thanks to all of you fine folks for the lovely reviews of my vampire novel, The Hunt. Honestly, I didn't even know they were up. I am humbly grateful to all of you for your time and consideration.
In the not too distant future a young woman bears witness to the end of her world.
Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions rock the planet, reducing cities to smoking rubble, burying entire islands and coastlines beneath cataclysmic waves.
Religious fervor and human evil erupt and entwine, becoming a maelstrom of madness in the days after, bringing with it the horror of apocalyptic war.
As a population in the depths of despair struggles to overcome insurmountable odds, can a single glimmer of hope flare into a beacon for the survivors?
This is her tale…the world is ours…and now, it’s STORY TIME.

Updates on the wild and perilous ride!
Hi Folks...well it's an interesting ride, isn't it? As many of you know, I was originally published by the PSP (I won't say the words...if you're interested you can look it up for yourselves!) The royalties were quite low, but I was so grateful to be published I thought what the heck, especially since I held the exclusive rights to both books. Well, I found out that that publisher owned the "non"-exclusive rights to the same pieces of work!
So, having no other choice, I took both novels Indy. I am having a blast- promoting my butt off and watching the books climb the charts. I am enjoying the ability to go to my own dashboard, set the price lines, take it free, buy my own art- it's fun.
My advice to you... Before you sign on to any publisher, big or small, read the fine print! Don't be the starry-eyed noob that signs the better part of your royalties away forever.
The good news? The Hunt, and Story Time have been selling in the 20 to 50 thousand range since I went INDY as opposed to the 300,000 list range-that translates into about 4 books a day sold.
I hope that some of this show and tell has been interesting and of use to those of you who are new to the game and are wondering where to go now that your baby (book) is ready to hit the presses. I welcome any comments, or questions. Nel (the NOOB) Jeppsen
