    GOLD! 
    @ ChickenHawk: How is everything going? Hope you will post updates again soon. I also have a question. Since you are publishing so many books, how do you handle planning new plots? Are you working with templates and predefined outlines?

    Thanks for your reply! Same goes for me, I have very tight deadlines and I haven't been looking for beta readers so far. It was a PITA to find a good proofreader. But now I have a really good one and I stick with her. Nothing gets published before giving it to her ;) Anyway, instead of beta...

    @ChickenHawk - Do you have beta readers to get feedback, before upload it on Amazon? If yes, I was wondering how do you find beta readers? I can imagine that it might be tricky, when writing erotic romance.

    Bundles for fiction series

    PUBLISHING

There are 3 books (all of them finished) and this time I want to offer a bundle, where the reader can buy all 3 in one book and save money (because it is cheaper than buying one by one).

    Thanks Lauryn! Yes, I do have KDP Select agreement. When you say 99 cents for 7 days, do you mean also the second and third book?

    Correct pricing for fiction eBook series

    PUBLISHING 
    Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I have considered this. But recently I spoke to another author and she told me that perma-free books are ignored by Amazon regarding ranking them and therefore can not climb up the bestseller ranks.
