Happy Friday and New Year!

The last few weeks have been crazy. I’ve had an amazing Christmas and New Year’s holiday and hope yours was full of food, family and bowel movements. =)

Anyways…

Illegal Aliens #1 is all finished. They’re available on Amazon and ready for reviews.

Please keep it under wraps for now. The official launch is MONDAY. I’ve lowered the price of Illegal Aliens Book 1, to 99c through Monday’s launch. Then, it’ll be $1.99 and quickly going to $3.99.

Leaving your review(s) - what ya’ll need to do

As before, in order for me to be able to take advantage of promotions and to give the books a boost when readers start to notice them, I need to get some slamming reviews on the pages as soon as I can. This is really important, and it’s where you come in buddy...

The next steps:

1. I’m going to be pushing Illegal Aliens Book 1, so please visit that Amazon page as your priority. Right in the links below:

AMAZON US

AMAZON UK

AMAZON AUS

2. If you are able to get the comic (for 99c) I would jump for joy, do backflips and fight an alligator (for the reasons why, see below). I have priced it as low as I can for the next couple of days only. You can also borrow the book, too, if you're an Amazon Prime member or a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.

3. Either way, please leave an honest review (one line or 100 paragraphs, it really doesn’t matter). If you don't know how to leave a review, you can look at this video.

[UK/AUS readers – please could you cut and paste your review to the US page, too; that’s the one that is referred to when I am trying to book adverts and promos].

Why it is extra helpful to me if you can buy a copy?

Please remember that you don’t have to buy the book, nor do I expect it. I always feel a bit weird asking because you rule like chips and guacamole. But if you can buy it, it does three very dope things:

(a) Each purchase or borrow contributes to the book’s Amazon ranking and, therefore, its visibility, which contributes to more purchases, which contribute to the ranking, blah, blah, blah. The early buys from the Music Overlord Mega Reader Team have given the most recent books their first, shoves in the right direction. Once a book has speed, I can stand back and watch as Amazon takes over. It’s pretty sweet.

(b) The book will start to appear on the recommendations pages of readers who have bought or borrowed similar items to you in the past. That, again, means more views; and…

(c) Your review will get the “Amazon Verified Purchase” tag

and will be taken more seriously by readers.

Any review, no matter how short, would be amazing and will contribute to the team effort.

***
As I said right at the start, I have lots of cool stuff coming your way. Thank you for all your help so far. I say it a lot, I know, but I really am enormously grateful for your continued support. You are helping me follow the career that I have always dreamed of following, and, if I’m ever in your town (or you are ever in mine), we can grab a burger and some sweet potato fries. =)

Peace in the middle east. =)
