A Soul Worth Taking review copies

In an effort to try and get some positive reviews on A Soul Worth Taking...I'm offering free copies to anyone who's interested in reading it. The book currently only has one review and it's a 1 star (which I obviously don't agree with). The book is hardly selling and my opinion is that this one lone, bad review is hurting sales. So if you want to read it, you can download a free copy with a coupon code via smashwords in whatever format you prefer. All I ask is that if you enjoy the book you post a review on Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble.

Here's the smashwords page:

Thank you to all who are interested!!

A Soul Worth Taking

Right now the book is in the hands of a professional formatter, so I'm hopeful that it'll be ready by the end of the weekend. Once it's done I'll submit it to Amazon, B&N, hopefully Apple and Kobo. My books have not been on Apple or Kobo before because they've never been professionally formatted and I could never figure out how they wanted it. The timeframe that the book is available on the Kindle and Nook obviously depend on Amazon and B&N. I'll keep you updated though.

A Soul Worth Taking release

Just wanted to make a quick update on A Soul Worth Taking's release date. The cover is just about finished. I've been working with the cover designer, going back and forth, checking out different fonts/sizes/styles...and I think we're just about there. Once it's finished I'll release the final cover on here. I was thinking it might be kind of cool to see the progression of the first cover and all the different variations until we get to the final one.

Editing should be finished within a week. It's been a little slower than expected as I was dealing with some personal stuff that sidetracked me. I still want to get the book in the hands of some bloggers/reviewers to get some reviews up on release day, but I'm not sure if there will be enough time. There seems to be some interest in the book so I'm not going to push the release back again. I did it once and won't do it again. The idea was to have some reviews up on release day to help with additional sales and help push it up the charts. Even if they're not up by release date, whenever they get up they'll help with sales, so I'm not really worried about it.

Be back in the next few days with another update.

A Soul Worth Taking blurbs

I've had an interesting mix of responses to which blurb people like best so far. As of a couple days ago it was dead evenly split among all three, which I thought was unbelievable. The last couple of days the support seems to be going towards #1 and #3. I haven't made a decision yet on which one I'll be using so if you haven't voiced your opinion feel free to do so.

news

First off is I need to delay the release date of A Soul Worth Taking. I'm sorry to those of you who've been looking forward to it but you won't have to wait much longer. We're delaying the release till mid-April. So only another month or so. We want to try and create a bigger buzz and get review copies out to reviewers so hopefully a couple will be out when it's released...thereby helping sales. Also still doing some minor edits, and waiting for the cover, which I'm supposed to see later today. I just don't want everything to be rushed and the book suffers for it. Plus it will allow a shorter time between book one and book two.

Will be back with an update tomorrow on the blurb feedback....it's been pretty interesting.

A Soul Worth Taking blurbs

Been working on the official synopsis of the book and seem to have three choices (unless more spring up from this). Right now I'm leaning towards #3. If you have any thoughts on these...likes/dislikes...feel free to comment or e-mail your opinion.

#1

Hell wants him.

Heaven wants to save him.

After tragedy strikes Mike Moore, the Devil sees an opportunity to acquire another soul while he's in his darkest moments. An Angel is sent to guide him back from the lowest depths of his soul. Will he rise above the darkness or will he give in to hate and anger, seeking revenge for what he's been put through? What transpires is a man's personal struggles to do what's right or succumb to evil.


#2
What do you do when those that are closest to you are ripped away? For Mike Moore, he is caught in a personal struggle between what is right and wrong. Evil torments him, chipping away at his soul, trying to entice him to seek revenge on the tragedy he has had to endure. Will he give in to temptation or can he rise above the darkness with the help of a heavenly friend?

#3
Hell wants him.

Heaven wants to save him.

What would you do when those you love most are ripped away?

After tragedy strikes Mike Moore, he is visited by two mysterious strangers. One sees an opportunity to take advantage of him while he's in his darkest moments and takes him to the lowest depths of his soul, tempting his desires to take revenge for what he has lost. The other tries to help him rise above the darkness, giving him the support he needs to fight against the evil that has come for him. What transpires is a personal struggle between good and evil.
