mylorolfereadsHey, Dreamwidth! It's good to be back, even though I'm pretty sure nobody's reading this stuff. This is just a quick entry with no fancy GIFs because I wanted to make sure I still looked active.
Imagine my delight when I was able to drum up 11 ARC READERS this month for Fated Maids and the Royal Slug! I realize this is small potatoes compared to other ARC teams in the three figures, but honestly, I'm surprised I have a team at all, especially considering the book itself got insta-dungeoned due to Amazon's new, stricter rules for hiding adult content. Word from the wise, you must have "view adult content" enabled AND be searching specifically in the Kindle eBooks category in order to find steamy books nowadays. Yes, I expect Amazon will be receiving a lot of pushback for this.
Over the last week or so the reviews have begun to roll in, and I couldn't be happier with the love that's already being shown for my humble little book about maids with big boobs. I'll admit that I keep refreshing my email at times hoping that another will have appeared. It's not just about getting praise and inflating your own ego, it's about knowing someone not only took the time to read through your entire book and ended up loving it. It makes you feel like you did a good job and that maybe you've got a shot at this author thing after all. At least, that's how I see it.
I also set my book preorder price to 99 cents in hopes of getting a bit of pocket money. Sadly, TikTok has not decided to open its collective wallet for me. This is partly because I haven't been making TikTok videos, I presume.
In any case, for those of you who are browsing blog entries today, you can find my book at tinyurl.com/FATEDMAIDS
