Hmmmm.
Amazon have seemed to have introduced a wierd pricing structure for their digital downloads.
Buy Feng Shui Assassin as a downloadable ebook from the USA and you will pay 99c. Buy Feng Shui Assassin as a downloadable ebook from the UK (or anywhere else) then you pay the inflated price of $3.44.
No explanation of this increase [...]
Thank you very much to Andrew from the States - cos with his help we have enabled Feng Shui Assassin as a Kindle download. Yay!
You can have a Kindle gander here - Feng Shui Assassin.
Exciting stuff. And over the weekend I’ll draw up some thoughts on marketing and get down in writing a four month [...]
The only sensible price for a self-pubbed book - offering Feng Shui Assassin as a downloadable ebook at 99 cents.
Reached the final step of the easy-peasy process for offering a book on Kindle - only to be asked for an American address and bank details. Doh!! So am asking around for a friendly yank who [...]
With TT week quickly approaching (an event that will see 30,000 sweaty-arsed bikers descend onto the rock for the annual motorbike ‘death race’) I was keen to get some more exposure into the different book outlets on the Island.
Feng Shui Assassin is steadily selling (about 1 a week) in one shop - so my dur-brained [...]
Feng Shui Assassin has sold almost one hundred copies through the various distribution methods.

Not too bad, really - and it’s a weird feeling knowing that people I don’t know have bought and read the book.
Even had the odd [...]
In a stroke of ingenuity (read: I most likely read it somewhere and forgotten the source) I have taken five shiny covered feng shui assassin books and left them around London after visiting there on Friday.
Within the front page I wrote ‘Please read - and pass on’.
Not the greatest attempt at a viral marketing campaign, [...]

Feng Shui Assassin is perfect for reading on your ereader or handheld - punchy little chapters, twisty turny [...]
Smashwords are hosting the first digital version of Feng Shui Assassin.
Whilst Biddles the printers do the paper thing - I looked around for a distributor for the electronic version - and Smashwords won hands down.
Self published e-books from independent authors - the site allows for a profile, a quick and painless upload of your book [...]
As an Indy Author the writing/editing and production of the thing is half the battle. And the first half, at that.
Having your book published through traditional methods means that the publisher can push it into the retail outlets, the book stores and other nooks and crannies available. This allows for casual browsers (which I’m sure [...]
Self publishers face a difficult task when it comes to distributing ‘the book’. I have read a few independent author blogs that have talked about the frustrations of trying to get their book into a Waterstones or Borders (outside of their local town). This is why I plan to concentrate efforts on Amazon and other [...]
