Hi all, As I mentioned in Erich's Plea's thread we're having a huge medieval fair near Brisbane in July and I'm wondering if it would be a worthwhile investment to bring in a bunch of books, hire a stand and do a book signing sale. Have any of you done this and has it been successful?  Cheers, Trace |

Hi Trace, Just as a matter of housekeeping, we put a copy of the "welcome letter" in each book thread. It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, just helps us know that you know the rules. So here it is! We ask that authors have only one thread per Book, rather than start a new thread each time, it helps members who may be following you. Please bookmark this thread so that you may find it again to update. We also have a seven day rule, and ask that you bump (make back-to-back posts) no less than seven days apart. You may, of course, respond to member posts at any time. Once you do, it resets the clock and you must wait seven days... We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, most of our authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows. This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles! Finally, here's a link to Forum Decorum: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.htmlPlease let us know if you have any questions. Ann & Betsy Book Bazaar Moderators |

Hi all, Just wanted to announce that Ursula's Quest has a brand new cover. Artwork by our very talented Ronnell D. Porter and I think it looks fantastic. Cheers, Trace |

Hi all,
Ursula's Quest is bringing in a couple of reviews and answers some of the questions posed in Erich's Plea - bit of a twist at the end [I love my little twists] and sets the scene for the final in the trilogy Slade's Destiny which will hopefully be released before Christmas.
Cheers,
Trace

Maybe even sooner if my beta-readers come back without too many alterations |

I wonder if anyone has figured out why I love this series so much? I'll give a hint: "Dungeon"

Actually M. R. that's one of the reasons I enjoyed writing it so much - I've been a fairly dedicated RPG player for years and always wanted to write a book based in that kind of environment - it just took me a few years to come up with a storyline that I liked. Looking forward to the release of Slade's Destiny and tying up all the loose ends and unanswered questions - just have to go through the motions of rewriting, critiquing, rewriting, editing all that blah stuff that's not half as much fun as just telling the story |

Ursula's Quest is still available for only $2.99, also now out in print version. The final of the Witchcraft Wars, Slade's Destiny should be ready about the end of Oct or early Nov. A big thank you to those who've read the first two books and graciously posted reviews - feedback is always welcome and readers even more so  Cheers, Trace |

Hi all,
Ursula's Quest still available for only $2.99.
With the soon coming release of Slade's Destiny now's a good time to grab it and be ready for the final part of the series.
Thank you to all those who not only bought and enjoyed Ursula's Quest but who took the time to write reviews and let me know. As always your feedback is very important.
Cheers,
Trace

I really hope you enjoy them - I think they're a great introduction to the world of Kaynos myself. Let me know what you think  |

Just letting you all know that both print versions of Erich's Plea and Ursula's Quest are now at the far more sensible price of $11.99, although [keep this a secret] you can pick them up for only $9.99 from my website http://traceyalley.weebly.com/Anyone who would like to do a review of Ursula's Quest if you've read it or would like to read it would be much appreciated. Also don't forget Slade's Destiny coming end of November |

Having a small trickle of positive reviews for Ursula's Quest - music to any writer's ears. And best of all my big sis is actually reading it as we speak - she's not a fantasy fan, prefers true life stories or Jodi Picoult novels. |

As with Erich's Plea I've also discounted Ursula's Quest to only $0.99 as a celebration of the coming release of the final in the series, Slade's Destiny. Also running a Goodreads promotion on this one to help pump up the buzz |

Had a great response to my Goodreads promotion - nearly a thousand people entered. As with Erich's Plea I've dropped the price on this one to $0.99 and it'll stay there until Slade's Destiny, the final, is released - which will hopefully be soon. I'm at the proof reading/editing stage then my editor will take over for a while for a final check up but we're on the home stretch. Would love to get some more reviews on this one - the two I have are getting lonely  |
