I was fortunate enough to warrant an invitation from Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, to put together a box set with some other authors and submit it to be included in a worldwide promotion Apple will be holding. \u00a0 This promotion is slated to start today and last through October 14th. \u00a0Only 100 box sets will participate and of those, only 40 were coming from Smashwords. \u00a0Of those, there will only be 7 or 8 from each genre.<\/p>\n
I was thrilled to death to be included. \u00a0I hurriedly contact several other author friends of mine and invited them to participate. \u00a0In less than 2 weeks Fantasy 101 was born. \u00a0Each of us submitted the first book in one of our series in the hopes that it will attract more readers to us. \u00a0I submitted Lost City. \u00a0Ms. Lindsay Buroker, of Emperor’s Edge fame, contributed Encrypted, Bill Ainsworth contributed Hemlock and the Wizard Tower, and Steve Thomas submitted his first Klondaeg novel, Klondaeg the Monster Hunter.<\/p>\n
I just checked iBooks. \u00a0We’re holding at the #2 spot!!!! \u00a0If you go to the Bundled Books section under “Featured”, you see the different genres laid out before you. \u00a0Second row down. \u00a0Fantasy. \u00a0See it? \u00a0Makes me smile every time I do!!<\/p>\n
Now, care to help a group of indie authors out? \u00a0Help spread the word. \u00a0Share with whatever media outlet you have at your disposal. \u00a0Let’s see if we can get Fantasy 101 to break into a few best seller lists, ok?<\/p>\n
Thank you! \u00a0I hope you have a great day!<\/p>\n
