Goodreads eBook miner 'Book of the Month' award.

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that my book THE STAR AGENCY has been nominated as one of the 5 finalists in the Goodreads eBook miner 'Book of the Month' award for November/December. So in between now and the 20th November, the voting is open. If the book wins the award it will require those who have nominated the book to read and review a free copy of it within 3 weeks, which will give me a real boost of readership & reviews.

If you are already an eBook Miner member on Goodreads, you will have received an invitation to vote, in which case you don't need to read any further (indeed please don't as I am not allowed to solicit votes from existing members). If however you are not and you would like to vote for my book, follow the link below:

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/111285-which-book-would-you-like-to-vote-for-ebook-miners-book-of-the-month

You will then be prompted to join this Goodreads group and vote. If the book you have voted for wins, you will receive a free copy of the book to read and review. Do however bear in mind that you will be required to read and review your choice within 3 weeks. That is the rules of the group, not my own. So only vote if you intend to read. Any support you can give me would be very much appreciated.

There's nothing in the rules to say that you can't already have read the book, only that you need to add a review to Goodreads. So if you have reviewed the book elsewhere, e.g. Amazon or Smashwords, there's nothing to stop you adding that review to Goodreads.

In the interests of fairness, you can of course vote for any of the other books in the list, not just my own.

Many thanks all for your support,
RE Weber

Hello all,

Just a quick update for everybody who has asked about a sequel to THE STAR AGENCY. It is going to be called THE VOYAGES OF THE SEVEN and it is on its way. I'm making good progress with the book and I expect to release it sometime next year. I don't want to make any promises beyond that, because the book will be ready when its ready. It is more important to get it right than to rush it out half ready. Thanks to everybody for their patience and I will keep you all up to date regarding its progress. At present, I am about 2/3rds of the way through the first draft.

In the meantime, if you haven't already downloaded THE STAR AGENCY, please do check it out. It is available for the bargain price of $0.99 from the links below. It currently has an average score of 4.5/5 with 27 reviews on Amazon.com. It is also available in Paperback in Europe and the US.

Hello All,

Although I don't generally discuss my sales/download figures openly, for my recent free promotion on Smashwords (and associated price matches in Amazon) I can say that compared to another free promotion last October (over a comparable period of time) I noticed the following increases in downloads:

Smashwords - An increase of 75% (*1.75)
Amazon.com - An increase of 229% (*3.29)
Amazon.co.uk - An increase of  140% (*2.4)
Amazon.ca & .com.au - Unknown but massively more, perhaps %400

Obviously I am very excited about this and would attribute this to the following (in order of perceived importance):

1) A new cover - this is something everybody bangs on about, but it clearly does matter. My new cover (eBook & Paperback front cover) cost me £40 ($66) from The Cover Collection. So do consider investing a small fee in this service.

2) A few new 5 star reviews - my average score is now 4.5/5 on Amazon and 5/5 on Smashreads.

3) An improvement in my social media skills, i.e. increased Facebook followers, membership of reader/author/retweet FB groups, automated timed tweeting through Hootsuite etc.

4) A stronger presence on forums such as Goodreads.

Once again, I would like to thank all those who contributed to these great figures and if anybody would like to share with me how you discovered The Star Agency and what persuaded you to download it, it would be great if you could either comment on this article or post a comment on my Facebook Page.

And as always, you can download my book for a bargain $0.99 from Amazon & Smashwords.

Thanks
Richard
