A New Trend to Watch: Buying Direct

A New Trend to Watch: Buying Direct

Buying Direct from Authors…what’s it all about?   You may have noticed a new trend beginning. That is, many authors are making their books available for direct purchase on their website. A third of the surveyed authors began their online stores within the last year. You can expect to see this trend increase with time. Typically, these books are also still available on the usual book outlets online. Most of these authors publish their work independently, but some traditionally...

A Christmas Story that Makes Me Remember…

Is there a cold snap where you live? After a glorious Indian summer that lasted a long time, there’s one here. Piles of leaves on the ground, swish and crunch every time I leave the house. From now on, we’ll be at warp speed until January. Hold on tight! Do you enjoy the season? Or is it simply too hectic? As November closes, so does a promotion I did on One December. That book was the second one I’ve written, and the first one I published back in 2018. Over the years, I’ve edited it a few...
