And I don't have time to write them. I dedicate every minute of my time to writing or promoting. I suppose if readers like my books they will buy them. Does a little five or ten pages really give an idea of how an author would write a full length book?Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788003465566543496.post-13454735568331615422011-02-24T09:42:05.573-05:002011-02-24T09:42:05.573-05:00This is a fantstic topic, Sarah.

I've never considered free reads because my first book has only been out three months, but it sounds like there are a lot of options for what an author can offer for free. I wonder if it works better to put something on your own website or Amazon. I'm not sure how to put something up on Amazon, but my husband might be able to figure it out.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788003465566543496.post-12661938226103941572011-02-24T09:06:22.547-05:002011-02-24T09:06:22.547-05:00@Kat Duncan Awesome!

Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />I commented on TWRP loop, saying I've never wanted to know what happened after the HEA, as I prefer <i>my</i> theory. I think it's the writer in me. By the end of the book, I've already written (in my head) what happens next.

As to sequels, I never really considered doing one and then I got so many comments from readers wanting to know what happened to my people in Riley's Journey that I finally wrote a sequel. If the sequel does as well as Riley's, I already have the third (and final) story revolving around in my mind.P.L.

I read one author's website that said after two of her books were featured as "free reads" through Amazon, sales on her other books skyrocketed. The response was so overwhelming, she decided to keep them as free reads for an additional month, after they came off the free reads list at Amazon. I think readers really appreciate when they can get something for free.AJ Nuesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010557416505335378noreply@blogger.com
