Amazon.com Kindle Countdown Deal! And other updates.

Starting at 8:00AM on 12/4, I'm having a Kindle Countdown Deal on amazon.com :) From 8:00AM 12/4 until 8:00AM 12/6, Wildfire's price will be reduced from $2.99 to $0.99! Then from 8:00AM 12/6 until 8:00AM 12/8, the price will be $1.99. At 8:00AM on 12/8, the price will be back to $2.99 on Kindle. The price of a paperback on Amazon.com and Createspace is $10.99.

I'll probably do another amazon.uk Kindle Countdown Deal after new year's. I may try and do a free book promotion on amazon.com, as well. It depends on how much free publicity stuff amazon allows me to do.

I didn't get too much done on Earthquake, which is what I think I'm going to call the second book in The Program. I had hoped to write 5-10,000 words during NaNoWriMo, but I wrote just under 2,000 and that was all on thanksgiving day as my husband drove my family to and from my stepdad's house.  Sara has her driver's license now, so I guess there's that! I was also seriously dismayed to read a book last month about a girl who does magic. And the cool thing she does? Lightning. And the bad guys? Beady black eyes. Wildfire was published first, so I guess there's that, but... Now I feel like my world isn't original at all, and I'm a bit sad about it. I think my book is better than the one I read, of course, but now I'm not feeling confident about The Program and I don't like that :(

Nothing new on the Lora Fletcher books. You can blame my favorite authors. Not only was I insanely busy grading papers this month, but a bunch of new books have come out in the past couple of weeks and I just can't help myself! Autumn Reed and Julia Clark put out Chameleon yesterday, and I am already done.  For those of you who don't know, it's a reverse harem book. Many of them are terrible ripoffs of C.L. Stone's Academy series, and while this is similar in many ways, the writing is really solid.  Jane Washington's Seraph Black series is another good one if you're into that same kind of book.

Alrighty. Only 9:02PM and I am ready to crash.
