With Extreme Pleasure – FREE!

Moving up in the world, and stomping on Maya Banks! (I can say that cuz we’re buds!)

Thanks to Fatin for letting me know!

@mad4rombks Did you see this? With Extreme Pleasure is a Kindle Freebie at Amazon right now. http://bit.ly/3XjUQz

And you don’t even have to own a Kindle as long as you own a PC and download their Kindle for PC software! Go forth and download!

Oh, yeah. Take that, Dan Brown!

Take that, Dan Brown

HqHo, or that’s all I have to say about that

From Malle Vallik via SBTB:

First, why is Harlequin launching a self-publishing business? Bowker reported in 2008 that more titles were published through self-publishing than traditional publishers. Self-publishing is a fast growing and vibrant part of the publishing industry today. Harlequin has decided to provide a romance focused self-publishing business for those that choose to go down the self-publishing road.

From literary agent Ashley Grayson:

While the number of self-published titles may have exceeded the number of “real” book titles in 2008, the number of actual sales of all those titles to readers is virtually zero. Before they all got swept under the Author Solutions rug, Author House and Xlibris reps told me at a Book Expo that “actual sales of titles average fewer than 100 copies, all of which are bought by the author.” The self-publishing industry ranks as a “bestseller” any book that sells over 500 copies.
