A Big Milestone!

Oh, boy, have these past two weeks been busy!
A few weeks ago, I found out that I finally got a BookBub Featured Deal for Dragon's Blood, and so last week was all about prepping for it (other than continuing to record book five, of course!).
In case you haven't heard of BookBub, it's a newsletter that sends you emails with deals on ebooks. I highly recommend it if you want to read more for less. You select the type of books you want to receive deals for, too, so don't worry about getting historical fiction emails if you're only interested in self-help. It's not just indie author books, either; even the biggest names in the industry occasionally put their books on sale and send out the word through BookBub, and if you wishlist those books or follow those authors in BookBub, they'll let you know when their deals are available.
There are other newsletters that do something similar, but BookBub is by far the largest, the titan of the industry. That also means it's pretty hard for a debut indie author like me to get one of their books in one of BookBub's Featured Deal newsletters; it's by application only, and BookBub is so flooded with applications, they can afford to be picky—and must be, to keep their subscribers happy.
But, a little over a year after Dragon's Blood (book one) was published, BookBub finally chose it for a Featured Deal, which went live last week!
Getting my first BookBub Featured Deal is a big milestone in my author career, hopefully leading to many good things! 🥳
Wish me luck! 😉🤞
🎵Dragon's Crown (Book Four) Spotify Playlist!
My self-narrated audiobook for Dragon's Crown (book four) is now live on most retailers, and in celebration, I put together its Spotify playlist!
(After clicking, scroll to the bottom of the book page to see it).
I had a lot of fun putting this playlist together, not mention listening to some of these tracks on repeat for literally hours while writing some of book four's scenes, so I hope you enjoy!
For those who are new,
I assign one song per chapter, including prologues and epilogues, so in this case, with a prologue, the numbering is one off with the chapters after the first track. (The second track is for chapter one, etc.)
Sometimes the lyrics match the scene perfectly; sometimes they just reflect the mood.
You can find the previous three books' playlists on their book pages here:
