I need advice!
Smarter, not harder, right? I realised I have two cozy mystery Christmas novellas coming out in the next two weeks. I already have another one published, and one that I use as a reader magnet. I also have one cozy mystery Christmas novellas coming out. Does it make sense to put them all in a limited time book bundle? Or does it detract from the new releases? And if a book bundle makes sense, should I include the novel? It’s the only mystery with a murder. Otherwise these Christmas mysteries are spread over three series, so potentially they’ll bring new readers into the different worlds.

@Ben Westerham I had a typo in my email address 🙀

I have one odd one out (the first I wrote), historical literary fiction inspired by a true event. One reviewer wrote that it restored her faith in humanity.
Celebrate!
Tomorrow we're holding our virtual ball! It's time to check in for 10x-tober - where did you end up and how are you feeling? I am almost at 600 Amazon preorders and that was so hard won. The only thing that really moved the needle was sending my newsletter--which is good data! I do think I can get to 2000 total by launch, and then set things up to easily get a record number of preorders on my next book! I do think I have more preorders than I would've without the challenge, so that's a win! What about you?
Celebrate!

I got nowhere near my 10x sales goal, but I 3.1x my sales, with the help of a cheap promo stack for a 99c deal (first in series) and author newsletter swaps. My second price promotion (Halloween cozy ghost mystery) cost almost 5 times as much wth a BBFD and two other newsletters and overall wasn’t much more effective. Useful information! Profits are down, but that’s due to the BBFD and ads that stopped converting. I’m still feeling energised and positive!
