• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Hi Karen, it's still an adventure. As per usual, marketing is tough. Most of my sales have come in the form of borrows from Amazon's KDP Select program. Avant Nation enjoyed a nice surge on the days I did a $0.99 Countdown Deal, breaking into the Top 100 in several categories, with an overall ranking in the 2,000 range. The book quickly slipped back into oblivion after the promo, which due to previous experience, I knew to expect. I'm working on a sequel, but keep getting distracted with other projects. Hopefully, the Nanowrimer in November will help. :p

I was going to ask you about KDP select... Is it worth it? atm I've not put For King and Country in the program, but I'm not sure... maybe I should.
What's your thoughts on KDP Select?
