Heads-up: Patrice Lewis's Indie Romance dropping tomorrow

 

Patrice Lewis is one of the bloggers on my side-bar. Due to an (un)fortunate sequence of events, she is publishing her latest book as an independent author.

Since Amazon is the 8000 pound gorilla in the publishing universe and since they use "algorithms" to figure out which titles to put in front of people's eyeballs, it pays to try to game-the-algorithm. If "..game.." offends you, an alternative way to say it is that disregarding the algorithms means that thousands of potentially happy readers will never hear of your book.

Ideally, a very large number of readers will purchase her book on the day it "drops" and that will prime the algorithm's pump.

If you are looking for a late-summer read and enjoy gentle romances, please consider purchasing her newest book tomorrow.

I will post a link as soon as I can.
