What have
I accomplished in the first 6 months of 2017?
Writing Progress:
May 2017
marked the third anniversary of publishing my first full-length novel, The Lady
is Blue. By now, I have published ten novels and several shorter works. You can
see the complete list HERE on the new website (www.auroraspringer.org) devoted to my stories.
This
year, I rebranded my two longer series, Secret Supers (3 books) and the Grand Masters’ Galaxy (4 books), with super
new covers from Danielle Fine.
Also, I published a box set of the first three
books in each series.
I have recovered the 2 books in Atrapako on Eden, and the stand-alone
novel, A Tale of Two Colonies.
After
writing a couple of short stories to offer my newsletter subscribers, I decided
to compile several of my shorter works in an anthology, Comet Tales, with the common theme
of adventure and romance in other worlds.
This
month, I’m celebrating the release of Cosmic Rift, Book 4 in the Grand
Masters’ Galaxy. This story has a whirlwind tour of more than a dozen planets
as the galaxy-trotting heroine searches for her psychic mate, while tending to
their baby son.
Next,
I’ll return to writing my new SciFi story set on Europa. This story will expand
into a second book, and hopefully, into a new series.
Newsletter Subscribers
Following
the advice of many indie authors, I have worked to increase the number of
subscribers to my newsletter. At this point, I have accumulated a total of
about 7000 subscribers. My main strategy is to use instafreebie promotions and
giveaways of kindles or ebooks organized by groups of authors. Note, these avenues
result in many duplicates and a small percentage will unsubscribe after each
newsletter. Also, readers may become tired of receiving so many emails. Genre-specific
promotions are probably the best.
Social Connections:
I have created
a new website: http://www.AuroraSpringer.org with separate pages
for each of my series and individual books.

advance notice of my new releases, sneak peeks at my stories and giveaways by
