Launching My Newsletter

I’ve been told for more than eight years that I need a newsletter to share news about my books with readers. I’ve ignored this advice until now. What can I say? I’ve had other things on my mind.

The past few days, I’ve been learning about newsletters and setting up the infrastructure to launch one. So far, I have the Sign Up form ready.

At this point in time, I will publish a newsletter twice a month: on the 1st and 15th. Over time, I imagine, like everything, this will change, evolve into something different.

What will go into my newsletter?

All sorts of things, including book launches, book sales, cover reveals, my writing progress, what I’m writing about now, interesting facts I uncover while researching for my books, and anything else book related. Don’t worry; the newsletter won’t be too long. I’m busy; you’re busy. Short is sweet.

When it comes to book sales, you’ll hear about it before anyone else does. For example, for the rest of 2024, I’m putting one eBook on sale per month. This month, it has been Northern Survival. Next month, it will be… Well, I’ll tell you here because you’re reading this, but from here on, early-bird notices of sales will only go in the newsletter. For the month of April, Natural Selection will be on sale for 99 cents.

How will I gather subscribers?

I don’t know. I’ve never done this before. However, I thought of this idea: When I reach 100 subscribers, I’ll do a draw and giveaway a $20 gift card for Amazon. I’d love it if you bought one of my books with it, but there’s no obligation. Support another author, and buy their book(s).

So there you have it. A newsletter. Should I give it a name? The Dungeon Newsletter? Perhaps. I’ll think on this.

Now it’s your turn. Dive in, start the adventure and sign up for The Dungeon Newsletter (tentative name). Oh, and get your name into the draw for a $20 Amazon gift card.
