10 ways to NOT do a Book Release

Perhaps some of you have noticed that I’ve been working on a little book trilogy. (Insert heavy dose of sarcasm here) When I finished the ‘final draft’ of Pulled Back Again, I set myself a release date. Friday the 13th. I’m not a superstitious person, so what could go wrong?

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO FOR A RELEASE

A full week AFTER my release date the book is live (thank you draft2digital for doing what Amazon couldn’t seem to figure out)

If there is anyone still even reading this and even remotely interested in said book that released poorly, here is da link. http://www.amazon.com/Pulled-Back-Again-Three-ebook/dp/B00F61TYZK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1379688594&sr=8-3&keywords=danielle+bannister+kindle

Also, side note, PULLED is FREE, so if you have a friend, or a cousin, an aunt who likes to read, a squirrel with a powered up kindle, here’s that link: http://www.amazon.com/Pulled-Twin-Flames-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B005MY4SXO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379688594&sr=8-1&keywords=danielle+bannister+kindle

  1. Just to let you know, I ordered a paper copy from Amazon a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, my computer (or should I say my operating system) is not Kindle friendly.
