With the help of #StoryOrigin tutorials, I’ve setup eBook functions and shared a free eBook – “Wicked God of Mischief” – with those who purchased paperback copies of AESTHETIC CHARM, Vol. I of THE GREY CHRONICLES series. Well…the people I know at least. #ConvertKit also provided helpful directions for creating a landing page / form for newsletter signups. #SendInBlue offered a free newsletter template. Now, I just need subscribers. The ultimate goal is to form a decent size mailing list so I can join in Newsletter-Swaps with other Indie-authors. I’ve even heard tell of authors adding each others characters into their stories for a cameo appearance. Sounds so unique!
Facebook messages went out last night, and a few of my dear friends have followed the steps to receive their short-story… Thank you, luvies! In case anyone ordered and has not received a message, please send an email to a.d.shaffer@writethegrey.com for your link. In “Wicked God of Mischief,” the Norse Trickster hints at his intentions for Tycho, the curious ones, and Wandering Falls. Loki eagerly awaits your attention.
In other news, I channeled energies today by applying one of Lao Tzu’s maxims: Bring order unto disorder – doing such may smooth the myriad creature’s inner world by tending the outer, so true for the reverse (paraphrased from Tao te ching). With the study lemon fresh and ordered, my mind has room to think. Mostly, my thoughts land on a lovely soak in Welshly Arms since I’m worn out, lol, but…who doesn’t like a soak in the mineral spa? Plenty of people, it turns out – I’d say 1 out of 10 people note they don’t care for hot tubs. WV has had rain for a few hours, so the temperature is 77 – perfect for a soak.
Signing off for now. Check back next weekend – the eBook releases in five-days! Friday the 13th, AESTHETIC CHARM, Vol. I drops on Amazon. Pre-order your copy for mythological fiction. In case you cannot find the Newsletter landing page, here is a direct link with a free excerpt from the novel.
