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

How I did with my free download through the KLL Library
Hi! For anyone who is wondering about whether to do the KLL, or not...here is what I've experienced since assigning my novel, THE HUNT.
A week ago, I put my book up for FREE for two days. I had 1498 downloads of The Hunt during that time.
Granted the books are free, which means no royalties during that time. However, I have been thrilled to see an uptick in sales, not only for The Hunt but for Story Time as well.
Things are starting to slow down now, but the Kll was true to its word. They did feature The Hunt, loudly and often during that two day period.
I am also starting to receive some additional reviews, which always jump starts the search engines.
So- I say go for it. If your sales are languishing like mine were, I say what's there to lose?
That's your two cents from the peanut gallery! Nel
