Good News DAy

11/21/2013

Its a good news day for me and my readers!!!

The publishers have agreed to lower the price of The Broken Destiny ebook. This means it is still available across the world in its many formats, and will keep its original cover!

Whoohoo!!!

Paperback edition will relaunch as second edition, with a major back cover redo. A minor front cover make over by keeping the original cover model and adding some Regina Wamba magic to it!!!

What else will differ with the second edition?
It has gone for some text editing improvements. And will be affordable!
When?
I cant give a date as yet.

Pretty cupcakes for all!!!

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!!

Evanescent A Broken Novel has been signed off for print copy.
When can we have it??
Well, first it has to be shipped to me from the US (proof copy). Approved by me and sent out again.
Brace yourselves!

What Happened to the video production of Evanescent?

Last week I was contacted by our local newspaper with an incredible opportunity. They wanted me to send in a dramatic scene from Evanescent fro a scene shoot. Of course I grabbed at the opportunity of playing the imfamous Ava myself - who else knows her better than I right?
Unfortunately the CEO of the newspaper has taken a sudden family emergency break, and all production has been put on hold. - CAN YOU SAY HIGHLY FLATTERED?

Before you go there is one more piece of good news!

I have started working on a Spin off series of The Broken Trilogy. Short ebook Novela editions launching next year.
Title and date undisclosed.
But you can bet your sweet ass its going to have BROKEN in the title!!!

Thank you for stopping by!

Why I have chosen to pull The Broken Destiny

Where can I pick up a copy before it gets pulled

Last copies in stock

As of yesterday I made a really, really hard decision. But it was one that had to be done. Strategically its the best way forward for my readers and in turn for me. This book is at its most beautiful in paperback, those of you who own a copy will agree absolutely. I chose to publish with said publishers because of their wide international reach, but after a year of its success it has come to my attention I cannot keep pushing the limits with this book if it is prices so expensively. I cannot offer my fans signed books as it cost me almost $50 USD to ship in, sign and then ship out to my international fans. The ebook is also priced way to much - $10 for an ebook is ridiculous. I have had so many highs with this book, but its reached a plateau at this stage. A made a risky and difficult choice to pull and republish. I will be risking a lot as an author, but sometimes you have to take the fall in order to soar!! Thank you to all of you for standing by me since the beginning <3 My dreams can come true because of you.

What does this mean for my readers?

Affordability is my number one goal.

Whoohooo!!

Relaunch?

The Broken Destiny will relaunch as the second edition with a few minor improvements and changes.
Ebook will launch first and at this stage I cannot gaurentee the immediate release of Paperback :(
But no doubt it will come back as soon as I can make it possible.

What about the gorgeous cover?

The cover model will not change. I might update some features like the font etc.

Yay!!!

Its only up from here!!!
