    JUKEBOX – Official release on June 5th

    Now that Jukebox is no longer in the running for one of the top three slots in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards, I’m releasing the ebook Tuesday, June 5th and using the semi-finalist status for marketing purposes.

     

     

     

    I’m still trying to figure out how to add the back cover to Kindle 🙂 so I’ve downloaded a few tools to study, like Mobi and Calibre.

    Congrats to the finalists in YA fiction and General fiction! Please go to Amazon and read their excerpts so you can vote for the winners in these two categories.

    A Very Busy Summer

    Summer is almost here!

    So more time can be devoted to my multicultural ebooks and covers. I created a teaser/mock up of a new teen heroine. She’s a Shieldmaiden in training and her ebook, like Razher’s will be out this summer:

     

    Valkyrie Jones, Shield Maiden of Earth and Asgaard

     

    If you haven’t seen The Avengers yet, I urge you to do so. It’s funny, fast paced and a comic book geek’s dream (like me and my family).

    A Semi-finalist on Amazon

    Well, this was a surprise. JUKEBOX is a semifinalist in this year’s Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

    Last year HEAVEN was a quarterfinalist, so its nice to go one step further. However, I need to stick to the plan of getting out the finished novels, so I’m happy to say the Paranormal and Scifi books (with minority protags) should be out shortly.

    I’ve finished up editing JUKEBOX Vol 1, and plan on including excerpts of the other novels in the back of this ebook with a sneak peek at JUKEBOX Vol. 2.  I hope to gain a bit more publicity for the other novels while JUKEBOX is still in the running at Amazon (however, the final three will be announced on May 22nd, so that may be the end of my run in the competition, but I’m glad for the experience).

    Anyway, here’s a cover mock up of the slave falls for samurai upcoming ebook:

     

    Gaijin is not the final title, since the timeperiod of the book is earlier than the known use of the word. Also, I think I’d rather have the male without anything on his face and body so I need to do some airbrushing.
