Wednesday – Jaye Em Edgecliff

Well, it helps anyway.

This weekend Love or Lust will be free from every retail source I can set it for.

Kindle will, if I have anything to say about it, be included but Amazon’s funny about that sort of thing. I can’t actually set the book to free, I have to set it to free elsewhere and then report the lower price or hope that their crawler discovers the price and lowers it automatically.

All others should allow a setting of the price to Free. Exactly how long the price change takes to go through … Well, I’m going to be setting up the prices tonight and this afternoon. That should have the price fixed starting tomorrow (some will be starting at some point today if it processes fast enough) and I will run it through Tuesday — though some might take long enough to process the change that the free price will be in effect through part or even all of Wednesday.

Before anyone gets too excited, this is only the eBook. Print copy is still full price. It going on sale, sadly, is something the individual retailers control, not I.

Happy Labour Day weekend to all my American friends. To the non-Americans … we’re having a holiday here in the states, so you get a book discount, rejoice.

Love or Lust is going according to schedule. I’m actually a little upset about this; I’d hoped I was being pessimistic when I decided on the schedule I gave myself. Still, could be worse.

I will be updating the sample tomorrow or Wednesday — I hope. I certainly will have it updated sometime before 4 July.

The pricing for the eBook still isn’t completely decided. I’m considering us$4.99 (and comparable pricing across other currencies in other countries), us$3.99, or us$1.99. I’m also seriously considering making it 99¢ for the first couple of weeks or so.

Either way I will do random discount codes, including free vouchers, for the eBook in blog posts during the month of July for the various eBook stores that give such options.
