It’s a cover-up!
Here is the latest tweak on two of my cover remixes. What do you think? Any last critiques before I officially change the cover for these two?

Click the picture to see a little video I put together on GoAnimate.com! It was a fun little exercise in creating a scene from my book’s descriptions.

New cover for The Silver Collar
I just thought I’d show you my project for today: a new cover for The Silver Collar! I’m spiffing up the story too with better editing and structure. The Silver Collar is always free (except on Amazon but they won’t change it).

When something really works…
Hooray!
Remember when I said that the Goodreads giveaway was a good idea? Well it was a VERY good idea! I sold 603 copies of The Disenchanted Pet for Kindle in November!!! All I can think that I did to earn my success was to give it some free days with Select and then give it away on Goodreads for free. Did I miss something? Oh yes, promoting it for more than a year 
. That puts me at an impressive Amazon bestseller ranking of 99,629. Heheh.
On the flip side, not everyone’s reaction was positive: http://www.nathanshumate.com/?p=7550 If you read this, Nathan, I do plan to re-do this cover. It was my very first book, after all.

Goodreads Goodies
I had such a great experience with my Goodreads giveaway of Don’t Judge a Book By Its Magic, that I just had to give The Disenchanted Pet a go for a giveaway. What a great response already! I’ve sold more than a hundred ebooks on Amazon and a print book too. Why didn’t I try this earlier? Silly!
Here is the Goodreads giveaway of The Disenchanted Pet:
