New Relase: The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball

New release day is here and it's my last release for the year! The sequel to Welcome to the Black Room is on sale on Amazon for only $0.99 cents. Even better? Welcome to the Black Room is free today and tomorrow over on amazon!

The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball

Henrietta has waited in fear and excitement for her duke to return. The night they shared hasn’t left her mind, but as the days turn into weeks she has lost hope that she will ever see the man again. In the heat of summer she finds herself called upon again, but this time her dark duke pushes her further than she could have ever imagined.

This follow up to The Masquerade Affair: Welcome to the Black Room takes Henrietta’s fantasies deeper and opens her to a world she never thought she’d desire.

The Sinners’ Ball is a 7100+ word historical erotic short that features bondage and heavy sexual content.

Cover Reveal!

I've only got one more edit to do on The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball! I should have that done tonight which means it will get uploaded and ready for sale for tomorrow morning. 

As for finishing up Lay Me Bare; I'm trying really, really hard. I'm about 2700 words into the final chapter and I really hope to get it done before Christmas. I know I just need one day to hammer it out and it will be done, but it is right before Chistmas and I keep either remembering to go buy one last gift, or do an edit of The Sinners' Ball, and so on! I really think I can get it done this week, I just need to chain myself to my computer.

Without further ado, here's the cover for The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball!

24 Hours of Kindle Freebie

The Masquerade Affair Volume One: Welcome to the Black Room has been free on Amazon for just over 24 hours now and I can't deny that I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. In the first few hours I gave away around thirty books on Amazon and a few on the foreign sites. Pretty good.

Then I started advertising. I took to reddit, twitter, stumbledupon, and tumblr to advertise that the book was free until December 6th. I tried not to go overboard on twitter because I hate being sold to on twitter, so why would I expect anyone else to like it? Instead I did one sales post and then just posted my thoughts on how excited I was to see people buying my free ebook.

During the day I kept an eye on my sales. When I cracked the top 10,000 of the free ebooks on kindle I got really excited. Then Amazon started showing how far I was in subgenres. Then I saw I cracked the top 100 in erotica. Then the top 75. Before my husband left for work he checked too and texted me a picture that I had cracked the top 50. When I got to the computer (about an hour ago) I was at number 17 on the free erotica chart. That's the FRONT PAGE of erotica.

Not only that, but I've cracked the top 100 of genre fiction and the top 1000 of free ebooks overall. Without advertising over the last 12 hours those numbers are huge.

Now what has it done for sales? Yesterday I sold twice as many copies of Awake My Soul as I had the rest of the month. Not huge numbers, but a nice boost. Does this have anything to do with Welcome to the Black Room being free? I have no way of knowing. I have yet to receive a review on Welcome to the Black Room either, but I doubt most people who've downloaded it have had a chance to read it.

After the free period is over I plan to do a more in depth look at sales numbers and how things have been effected by my trial of KDP Select. Here's hoping it's worth it in the end!
