Bad Mojo Series

What's Happening

I took down my three 'free preview' books. It was a lot easier than explaining what kind of books they were considering they were incomplete stories. An excerpt book is what they're called, for those who don't know. But it doesn’t matter anymore. They’re gone.

While on hiatus, I read my stories. Discovered I had one of my characters trying to "span his horizons". Good grief. I made a few minor changes to all of the stories. Then I made new covers for all of them.

I also started writing a new series for kids. I hope to have the collection ready for release next summer.

I'm working on Bad Mojo. I truly love this series, and I am not going to rush through it just to get it done. Some parts are very near and dear to me. A little hint about my serial Quiller: she's not going to be filled with murderous rage forever.

I'm looking into AudioBooks.

As for not using Twitter and Facebook, my focus is on my stories and getting those stories to readers. That's it. I’m more interested in writing the next book. When I did use Twitter, I noticed the majority of my followers were other writers. I didn't want to turn my Twitter account into a writers forum. This is the very reason I don't enable the comments section of my blog. If someone has something to say to me, please, feel free to send me an email at: sharon (dot) austin 43 @ gmail (dot) com [no spaces]

The novels in my Hellfire Trilogy are selling on Nook and Apple. The same three books no one in New York wanted. Just thought I’d mention it.

Another month of No Sale on Amazon. Out of frustration, I unpublished all of my novels, leaving just the five short stories on Kindle. Nothing changed, good or bad. After I made the new covers I decided to give my novels another chance. I uploaded everything I had to Amazon. And... all I hear is crickets, not one-clicks.

I’m about to release book five in the Bad Mojo series. Number six won’t be far behind. Other than that, I don’t have too many things left to do this year. Maybe I'll learn how to scuba dive.

Cheers

New Release

SERIAL QUILLER 4 is now available.

Made the brunt of a sick joke by The Six, a snobbish group of writers, BJ shows them what make believe is all about when she uses the legendary Robert the Doll, a child's toy created by voodoo magic, to hit back.

Nook .. Amazon .. Smashwords

Synopsis:
Jealous over the remarkable success of BJ Donovan’s debut novel, six close-knit members of the Lieu de Crime Club get drunk at a writers conference in Key West, Florida and come up with a plan to play a practical joke on her, just to knock her off her high horse. They aren’t the only ones who know how to create a scenario that fits a real-life situation for a novel. Using the legendary Robert the Doll, a cursed child’s toy on display at the East Martello Museum where he is kept under lock and key, BJ gets even with The Six.

Get Your Free Novel

I am offering my mystery novel, SMOKE ON THE WATER, Book One in the Hellfire Trilogy, free of charge for the next seven days.

Synopsis:
The gruesome discovery of a woman's corpse in the small tourist resort of Point Jove, Missouri draws Sheriff Josh Wolfe, a widower who enjoys tinkering with his award winning hot rod, into the most perilous case of his career. Hounded by the townsfolk and media, Wolfe exhausts every conventional method for solving the crime. The investigation comes to a standstill. Then, four more residents disappear. Everyone is convinced Rhone County is harboring a serial kidnapper who chooses his victims by chance. Wolfe believes the people are not only related to one another but are somehow tied to the last surviving member of the county's namesake. Time is not only running out for Sheriff Wolfe but for his lover, dissatisfied wife of a homebuilder, held against her will at the Rhone family's abandoned sawmill where spilled gasoline awaits a lighted match.

Currently available for free on: Nook, Apple, Sony, and Smashwords.

The Hellfire Trilogy: interwoven tales of love, mystery, murder... and arson.

Hiatus

I’m taking time off to do a lot of writing and a little boating.

See you in September.

This And That

** I do write every word of this blog.
** I don't actively use Twitter. It just doesn't work for me. And I don’t want to work for It. I haven’t tweeted since... I can’t remember when.
** I don't actively use Facebook either, though I have a page in there. Somewhere.
** I’m selling more books on Nook and Apple than I am on Kindle and Diesel. If Amazon would let me upload my ‘free preview’ books, I might sell a novel or two.
** Seventy-five copies of my free books have been downloaded on Sony.

** My books are no longer available on Kobo.
** I’m finishing the Bad Mojo series before Christmas. I re-did the covers for the first four books. Just finished making the covers for books 5 thru 13. The covers for TWILIGHT and SHADES OF GREY were my inspiration: Less is more. I'll upload them when SERIAL QUILLER 4 is done.
** My idea of adapting one of my novels [KILLING SUMMER] to a screenplay is on the backburner until the Bad Mojo series is completed.
** Although my serial Quiller drinks tequila like it’s going out of style, I’ve never tasted the stuff. If and when I do have a drink I like Jack Daniels.
** Half a year is gone and I still haven’t panned for gold in California.
** Haven’t learned how to snorkel, either.
** I’m still thinking about writing a romantic short story. Maybe around the end of January.
