Now $1.99!

A Minor Bummer

Something happened the other day. Someone was nice enough to rate my book Nikkirotica 1: Fun With Friends over at Smashwords. They rated it 4 out of 5 which is a good rating. The interesting aspect of it was that it was the first time that it had been rated at less than 5 stars. That in and of itself is not a significant issue and I'm not complaining about an honest appraisal of 4 out of 5.

The thing is, because it was the first time that it had been rated at less than 5 stars, it dropped from being the third or fourth top rated erotic book at Smashwords to something significantly less than that. If a book has one rating of 5 stars on the site, it will rank before my book. That means that my book now features on page 145 of the rankings guide. A page that no one will bother to get to (Except for me because I was curious enough to keep searching.)

Now given my book is free, this massive drop in its ranking location doesn't directly affect any money that I make from selling my work (hell its not like this even goes close to being a big money making venture for me) but I was interested to note that it went from being downloaded an average of 10-15 times per day to less than 5 which corresponds to the drop in page views.

Not the end of the world, but interesting to see the impact a single well-intentioned rating can have on the visibility of your book. I always hoped that if nothing else, having that first free book available for so many people to download would mean that people would enjoy it enough to buy one of my others.

Oh well, that's life I guess. Lucky I don't rely on writing to feed myself! lol

Nikki and Sammi Update

Nikki and Sammi's story has been updated. I must say, I was surprised by the results of the last vote. I was sure that one of the more sexual options would get up there, but perhaps because all of those votes were split across three choices it made the difference.



Read, enjoy and vote!

Plodding along

I just thought you might like to know that I am still here and still writing. Things have been a bit slow lately with life getting in the way. I have however managed to get the next bit of Nikki and Sammi's story ready for posting once the current vote ends.

I have also been continuing to work on the oft-neglected romance that I've previously mentioned. It's getting up toward 20,000 of the 50,000 word target that I've set myself.

I have another of the Sleepwalker Diaries almost ready to go. I just need to re-read and edit again and then find some time to publish it. Hopefully that's not too far away.

I have some other ideas bumping around, including an addition to my old story The Dark Room which I know a lot of people have asked for since it was originally published. One day people, one day.

Other than that, I've been toying with Nikkirotica 3, another collection of short stories which will pluck some of my older works from their slumber and mix it with something new.

So as you can see, there's things bumping around, its getting them to line up and flow from my head to the computer that seems to be the challenge at the moment.

Licks and kisses,

nikki
