 Independent writing is not particularly profitable, and it takes a great deal of time. If you want to help guarantee the future of this series, and ensure that books keep coming according to the great big game plan, there are some ridiculously powerful things you can do:
As you probably know this whole series is produced independently, without any backing from a publisher, agent, or marketing firm. It relies mostly on your word of mouth to generate interest amongst potential new readers! You are the best chance it has of continuing and growing. In the same way that Limewire and other services used to be full of fake files, back in the days when broadband and peer-to-peer sharing first appeared, the modern web is full of honeypots which are intended to excite you, seduce you, and then exploit you. This happens because pirates are not fun. Viewed from any angle, they are c**ts.  Here is the cultural idea of a fun pirate.
He does look fun, doesn't he? He sails the high seas looking for adventure, for no particular reason, and his income is derived from the chance discovery of gold doubloons which were left laying about the place in wooden chests, presumably by his forebears. At some point he probably helped some unstuck-in-time children to find their lost dog Max. He's a terrific guy. Shame he's an utter fiction. Read on to find out more. The Goodreads giveaway of paperback copies of Steal from the Devil attracted interest from 169 people during its one-week run, and ended a couple of days ago. The winners were selected at random by the site.
Congratulations are in order for Kylie, Sheila, Jessica, Marie, and Jill, who all win signed copies of the book! Your prizes will be posted tomorrow and with you in the next couple of days.
