That doesn't mean I get out of work, of course! I also need to catch up on some other things. A new pron with Lily and the crew for the holidays, I think. I'll try working that and the Kelley Halloween special at the same time, once I have the current three out for editing. In about three or four days?
The next Coelescense as well. Then... I have no clue, really.
Laurel is sweet. A very nice person. I didn't mind the porn in her books (see above), but like everyone else, that wasn't what I'd gone there for.
It's been so smoky here for the last four or five days that it actually made it harder to do anything at all. Like living right next to a camp fire, only there was no breeze to blow it away. It was better today. I hope that holds!

For example, a few months ago when I went to Preppercon in Sandy, UT (just outside Salt Lake and cheaper price on tables than anything in SLC proper) I had a great turnout for post-apoc, fantasy and horror crowds for our table. However, we didn't have anything I'd call romance there, so we sent some folks around the corner to Kate Morris (great lady, by the way) for her McClane Apocalypse series. They are apocalyptic romance, and she does great with her sales.
Point here is, I figure Uncanny books would be horror/fantasy adjacent, and should do nicely in that area. Heck, remember when Lauren K. Hamilton used to be good? She owned that market space before her books degenerated into bondage porn. Anyway, just my two cents. I just want to see more of the Uncanny books.

There is no market there yet.
I have an advertising campaign set to start/run August 8th. Hopefully that will help. Maybe not. We will see.

Maybe try it with one book first?
As far as the romance, it's a new name and new Genre, so outside of the people on this website, it'll take time to break into it and get a romance genre fan base. Might be worth writing one every third or fourth book until it catches. IDK. Maybe?
I liked it, and got my copy.

Can I reach as many people doing everything else as I can being all in on kindle? So far (when I've tried) the answer has been a clear no.) Those readers might be out there, but they have to find the work, which would mean losing half my income until they pick things up. If they do.
I might reach a point where doing that is the best option, but so far it hasn't worked yet. (Would it if I put ninety titles up in a few weeks time? Maybe. I can't prove that though, so it's a real risk. Also, a LOT of work. More than just writing a new book or even two!)

After all, if I can't work out a way to make money from writing, I'll have to do something else. That will take time from what I've been doing. (Then, that's everything in life. Everything is temporary. I'll still get through the current story lines, somehow.)

Snowbound Nomad is a romance novel that takes place in a small, very isolated cabin in Eastern Washington state. Just as a very strange blizzard arrives, so do Merry Seaford and Dan Meeres. Merry is the science producer on a television show, as well as their location scout. Uncanny things is paid for by a reclusive but wealthy man. His "grandson" Dan arrives just in time to be snowed in with Merry...
It's a romance, but the background contains bits of real lore as well as magic and legend from around the world. So far everyone that has read it, including the guys that have never opened a romance, seem to have liked it. (Which probably means there isn't enough romance...)

It's a romance by genre and has the pen name "Cassie Power" on it. Don't worry, it's still just me...
The story is a romance, though not a typical one, I don't think. Hopefully people give it a chance.
Why write romance? First, to push myself to do new things. Second, to introduce something new to that world. Romance tends to be a bit predictable. Which this is as well. I mean, really, two people meet, they get together, that's kind of the point, right? The things around that are more fluid, however.
This is, if people like it, going to be the starting point for a new series (of romances, because of the third point...)
Romance novels outsell everything else. It isn't even close. It's a bigger market, so doing well there could be a way to stay relevant in hard economic times. I won't give up on the science fiction and fantasy though, so no worries there. I'll just have to work twice as fast. That's all.
(Imagine a slightly manic face with bulging eyes, as a twitchy person sits, writing without end...)
Hopefully this works?
Thanks everyone!
