On Sale - Just this Weekend: The Cardinal's Whores - Offered at $2.99 until Monday!! #Newrelease

Just this weekend, The Cardinal's Whores is being offered at a low introductory price of $2.99!

Here's a little snippet from the book:


As soon as the door was closed, the almoner put down his pheasant, and rubbed the grease off his hands with some cloth. "You seek honesty and openness. Very well, Mistress Larke, let me do you the courtesy of speaking plain. I would have you as my mistress. My situation in life, as you know, makes it impossible for me to offer you marriage. But I assure you, I have the means to set you and your brother up very well. You would both be very well taken care of. And any children you might have by me will receive not only the best education, but will undoubtedly be advanced by my connections at court."

His bluntness took her by surprise. She stared at the woodcock before her, and found it impossible to raise her eyes from the table.

"I have struck you dumb?"

"No, no. I'm just momentarily at a loss for words."

"My offer does not repel you?"

Yes. And no. Oh, sweet Lord, how am I to respond to such a question? "Sir. Do you think so ill of me as to use me thus? You must think me no better than a common— I can hardly say the name. Whore?"

"Quite the reverse," said Wolsey. "Since meeting you that first time, I have made a number of inquiries. I know you to be a virtuous, honest woman. I cannot pretend to offer you matrimony, for it is beyond my gift to do so. But I can offer you protection. And love."

"Love. How easily you speak the word. Yet you hardly know me."  

"I know what I must. Mistress Larke, when we talk of good opinion, do you think so lowly that I would choose to lie with any woman? I, Thomas Wolsey, who have sworn myself to chastity? Believe me, madam, it has not been without careful consideration that I offer myself thus to you. My dignity demands that I consider pairing myself with a woman of the gentle classes. To mate with any other would be untenable."

She sneered. "And you talk of love."

"Love will come. Mine is a constant nature. Give yourself to me and I will prove this to you."

London Lady Kindle Scout Campaign - Down to the Wire #kindlescout #ASMSG

Good morning, readers.

Here we are at last, down to the last few days of my Kindle Scout campaign for London Lady. The thing I have found the toughest is the balance between promotion and spamming. I think London Lady deserves its place out there on the interwebs, but I am always sensitive that every writer has a story to tell and there are a billion books out there to testify to this.

I must say, the Kindle Scout program is not for the feint of heart. Yet it's not the promotion or hard work you must put in that makes me say this - Lord knows I think most of us nominees knew what we were getting ourselves into. And on the upside I have met so many wonderful people - not just those who were kind enough to take the time to vote for me, but also my fellow travelers walking the campaign trail at the same time. The hardest thing is seeing good writers pouring their heart and soul into their campaigns but who ultimately are not selected. This is truly the saddest part of the whole journey.

But why aren't they selected? A lot of our campaign chit chat focuses on this very thing: what differentiates a successful book from an unsuccessful one? Do hours spent on the Hot and Trending list mean more than the editorial review of the book itself? Is one genre preferred over another? Do more popular or media savvy writers have an edge over less well-versed ones? Is there a quota of books in any campaign phase - so are we competing with the other candidates or not?

The simple answer is, no-one knows any of the answers to these questions. There is no magic formula; the Scout team will be conscious of the marketability of the book - but it seems impossible for authors to second guess which way the wind blows in any particular campaign cycle. All you can do in the end is the best you can - and work your campaigning butt off to ensure you gave your own book the best shot you could. So shout it from the rooftops. Yes, there are a million other books out there but you only have a little window on the program so sing your bally heart out!

It can't hurt to be a popular writer, to be hot and trending, to write in a broadly accepted genre, to be competitive - but you could go mad trying to figure it all out. In the end just work your campaigning butt off to ensure you gave your own book the best shot you could. You worked hard. You deserve this opportunity. And talk to other nominees. You are not on this journey alone and if nothing else, whether you get a contract or not - I guarantee you will meet a lot of great writers along the way. And this road less traveled is worth it - if only for that pleasure alone.
