She Wants me to Market the Fantasy eBook

For those of you who want to read new fantasy but don't have the funds to pick up Choices Meant for Gods at the local Barnes & Noble, Fantasy Author Sandy Lender has your answer. Download the pdf from the publisher's site for only $3.99 at http://www.archebooks.com/BookIDX/Indexes/Fantasy/CMG/CMGDesc.htm.

I highly recommend CMFG because it's the story of my amazing warrior bride-to-be, Amanda Chariss, and the trials she goes through dealing with an oh-so-arrogant god whom I think she should just dump by the side of the road. I'm telling you, this deity is not worth her time, yet she thinks she has this responsibility to protect Him just because some prophecy they found foretells it. It's crazy. She has enough trouble trying to keep herself alive with some lunatic sorcerer chasing after her...and does her god-charge seem to care about that? Not at all!

You know, Sandy promised me she'd make life easier on Chariss if I helped with book marketing, yet I'm looking through the pages of Book II, and I can't really see how life is getting easier. I don't think this bargain is working out right...

She Asked Me to Revisit the Purpose of This Site, Part I

First of all, my fantasy author, Sandy Lender, asked me to develop this blog to assist with marketing. She is the author of Choices Meant for Gods, the first of three books in the epic fantasy story of Amanda Chariss.

Chariss has been on the run from a madman all her life. When she finally chooses to stand and fight, she finds that she’s wrapped in centuries of prophecy that require her to protect the gods themselves. This site is managed by me, Nigel Taiman, the son of her current benefactor. I once lived on the outskirts of Arcana City on the continent of Onweald, thus am considered an expert on farming, animal husbandry, crop rotation, reading the weather, swordsmanship and keeping my younger brother from getting the family into trouble.

Oh, yes, I'm also madly in love…

She Wants to Push the eBook Version of Choices Meant for Gods Because it's Cheap

And I'm all for it.

You see, the epic fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods is an amazing story, but not everyone in the world is willing to shell out nearly $30 for a hard cover, first edition book from an author they've never heard of. Enter the eBook.

You can read a bunch of five-star reviews of Choices Meant for Gods on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/1595071652/ref=s9_asin_image_1-1966_g1/105-8001163-2859664?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=10TVDGS539SGZYCWCBRW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=288448601&pf_rd_i=507846...

And then order/download the electronic version of the book at the publisher's site for a whole lot less money at http://www.archebooks.com/BookIDX/Indexes/Fantasy/CMG/CMGDesc.htm. ($3.99 to be exact) You can also read the first three chapters for free at that same link, Sandy says.

Now, why would a fantasy author encourage folks to buy her book electronically for $25 or $26 less than what it costs in the Barnes & Noble book store? Because it's almost time for the second book in the series to be released and this is called audience-building. If you like the first book, you're likely to buy the second book in the series, too. And she tells me that will also be available in a cheap electronic version. (Wait a minute. How are you going to make any money in this business? Oh. I've just been informed that writers are starving artists, too. What does that mean?)

Well, the point of today's post is to let all you visitors know that the first book in the Choices trilogy is available in an inexpensive format, right now, at the ArcheBooks Publishing site. Fantasy Author Sandy Lender encourages you to download the pdf and enjoy the story of Chariss, who is (What? I'm not describing her that way!)

(Sigh.) Enjoy the story of Chariss, who is a loveable yet kick-ass warrior.

Great.

She Wants to Know if You Read at the Computer

Here's the deal. Statistics show that 1 percent of readers purchase and read electronic books.

That's not a lot.

So my fantasy author, Sandy Lender, wants to know if that statistic is growing or not. She says it's been bandied about for a couple of years and seems to stay the same no matter who's bandying it about. Steve Jobs seems to think no one's going to be reading at all in a few years so creating devices for people to read electronic books more easily is a waste of research and development dollars. She says, "Way to jump in there and do something about the declining interest, there, Stevo." (Boy, you sure are cynical lately.) Oh, she says people in the public eye should either step up to the plate or get out of the public eye. Nice.

Anyway, Sandy's epic fantasy novel, Choices Meant for Gods, is available for ordering from her publisher's Web site in the traditional hard-cover format, but it's also available as an eBook. Now, you can order it in traditional print just about anywhere--Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, your local Borders or Hastings, etc., but if you want the electronic version (for only $3.99, she reminds me), you have to visit http://www.archebooks.com/BookIDX/Indexes/Fantasy/CMG/CMGDesc.htm to download it as a pdf and save it to your computer. Therein lies the reason for her question.

How many people are going to download an epic fantasy novel and sit there reading it on a computer screen?

She truly wants to know.

The good thing about buying the download/electronic copy is you can then print it out if you wanted to curl up with it on the sofa or in your favorite window seat. That's a lot of trees to kill, she says, but a ream of paper in a laser printer is still less expensive than paying full price at Amazon, even if they are still offering free shipping (which they are).

So what are your thoughts about purchasing eBooks versus the print version?
