My Interview is Posted on About.com

Valerie Peterson is the Publishing Editor at About.com.

She and I have been chatting for a couple of weeks about

traditional publishing and self-publishing.

She asked if I would be willing to share my story and my experience

with her readers. You can find the result of the interview

Price Experiment--Interesting Results

As part of my birthday celebration, I lowered the price of my romantic comedy, The Merry-Go-Round, for Kindle and Nook readers. In one day, I sold over 110 copies of the Kindle version...and, interestingly, not one Nook version. I announced the sale in all the same venues (the Facebook pages of both Kindle and Nook, B&N's bookclub community, Amazon Kindle forum, friends and fellow writers tweeted and shared and blogged the news), so I'm left feeling completely flummoxed by these results. Marketing is both powerful and confusing, and it is clearly obvious--to me, at least--that it is something I have yet to figure out.

I had a great time yesterday, and want to thank everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday.
