Hey ,
Welcome again to the smuttier side of romance with monster love, and alien fated mates.
Jewel of the Alien Bandit is finally launched!
Today is the day! January 31st 2023!
Side note: This is not only the book birthday for Jewel of the Alien Bandit, but also my sister's birthday too! Haha, I picked the day on purpose. And since this is a new release launch email, I get to say, "Hi" to everyone!
Love horoscopes from page 30 of your current read! Since today is the day to go borrow the book from Kindle Unlimited or crack open your copy on your e-reader, I'll flip to page 30 for you!
On page 30 of Jewel of the Alien Bandit you get Vareo Chapter Six, "No one said anything about playing games..." (Eye wiggle, sexy aliens aren't a game, it's hearts and steam!)
Go, go, go!
I thank you from all the spacy curves of my heart for supporting the Trillume Universe by becoming a verified Amazon purchase!
Open your e-readers and devour this sexy love match!
Okay, I'd like to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who pre-ordered the book! This was the biggest pre-launch I've ever had for any of my book releases! And it's all thanks to you. My goal for this launch is to break even on the cost it took to bring this to life by the end of the month, not including my own writing time! So, if you're a KU reader, please grab the book and help make this launch a success, so that I can roll that money into launching book two!
Book one is pivotal to funding the next book! Pretty book cover, editing, and even the cost of giveaways and bookmarks.
Finished reading? Don't forget to smash that start button! Or leave a review to help other readers find and enjoy the book!
Are you part of an alien romance Facebook group? Help an indie out and share the book with other alien lovers! There are tons of alien romance, or Kindle Unlimited groups out there for readers, but self-promo is not allowed with most. If you enjoyed the book, it would be a huge help to share your thoughts with those groups, so more readers can enjoy the same universe you did! Or perhaps you see the book pop up in your Facebook groups, drop on by and say, "hi!" in the comments.
So excited to share this with everyone, and as always, I read and answer all my emails, so please do let me know your thoughts by replying back.
Where are my audiobook nerds at?
Update on the audiobook! It's finished being recorded! I'm just doing final touches and edits on the audio. Doing a final proof listen, and quality control check!
If you want to listen to the audiobook before anyone else, then I'm thinking of having it available for pre-order in my PayHip shop. And yes, if you pre-order I will give you a promo code for Audible when the book officially releases on audiobook. Officially, though, technically this is purchasing the advanced audiobook copy direct from the author through BookFunnel BEFORE Audible has exclusive rights for distribution, and you are not purchasing the free promotional code for Audible, though, you will be getting a code for this.
You can listen to Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, both Luan and Vareo! Dual narration!
Vareo is narrated by Nowhere Eternity, a super sexy male narrator that does awesome pleasure affirmations, audio asmr, audio porn Patreon. I found him through narrators I follow on Instagram, and I was like HELL YAH, people are going to love listening to this guy!
You're welcome! haha.
Pre-order the audiobook direct from my PayHip for $14.95 to receive the audiobook before it launches anywhere else AND you will receive a promo code allowing you to download on Audible for free as a first come first serve bonus to pre-orders. Plus, you have access to listen to the book on BookFunnel!
My goal is to get at least 60 pre-orders to help pay for the production costs of hiring another narrator besides myself, this will have me break even on audiobook adaptation costs. And if I can reach 120 pre-orders purchased direct then I will have actually paid myself for my own time narrating for the female MC, Luan, and all my time in post-production audio engineering.
I'll have to remove the audiobook from my PayHip as soon as the book is set to release on Audible, as I plan on being exclusive with Audible for a limited amount of time to acquire the promo codes. The promo codes will allow me to give the first 100 pre-orders access to the book on Audible for freesies, but in order to be compliant with their rules, you are not purchasing the Audible promo code, you are purchasing advanced access to the audiobook through BookFunnel before Audible has any rights for distribution, and it will not be available for purchase outside of Audible once released on their platform for at least 3 months.
I'm doing it this way, because production cost-wise all I need is at least 60 people to purchase direct to cover costs outside of my own time. And if I went straight to Audible they only give 25% to the right's holder, meaning I would have to sell 260 copies to recoup costs instead of 60, which is tough for an indie author!
$14.95/mo for an Audible subscription
$14.95 direct to me the author, and you get access to your audiobook both ways! Bookfunnel, and Audible.
ALSO, if you have already pre-ordered Jewel of the Alien Bandit on e-book or paperback and would like to get the Audiobook pre-order, you can get a 10%off code from your audiobook purchase which more than covers the cost of pre-ordering the e-book... basically you get the ebook for freesies, and a thank you 50cents for being awesome, if you've pre-ordered the signed paperback? 40%off the audiobook upgrade! Email me with a snippet shot of your pre-order and I'll send you the promo code to get your discount.
Thank you Jenna for the wonderful review!
Thank you Marianne for being part of my launch team!
I couldn't have done this without your support! Thank you!
