Nothing like a year and a half away, right?

 Yes, I'm back, and I'm writing. It will come out when it's done.

But I wanted you all to know I hadn't forgotten you.

A special thank you to folks who spread the word about Remember The Trade while I was off.

Our newest listing are on Helen's Page, thanks to Dr. Helen Smith and her somewhat well-known husband Glenn Reynolds. https://helens-page.com/

A Call For Reviews.

Remember Them has been out for over two weeks now, and I was thrilled to see one review posted on the first weekend... it was both very flattering and a sign that people passionate about the story being told were willing to say so publicly.

Reviews are the best feedback an author can get once a book is published.

They are also invaluable for encouraging new readers to pick up the book.

Here are the places you can Review my books.

The Amazon Sales page for the Book. Both the Kindle version and the paperback, although those pages should merge at some point this weekend. For now, the links are:

Kindle edition of Remember Them

Paperback edition of Remember Them

Kindle edition of Remember When.

GoodReads has links for both books too:

Remember Them on GoodReads

Remember When on GoodReads

and then there is Social Media. A review when you have finished the book, or an in-progress "I am excited to be reading..." post. Both help a lot!

You can post a direct review on the Book Series page on Facebook, here:

Remember The Trade Series on Facebook.

or just post about the book, especially about Remember Them, on your own Facebook Wall. Be sure to set it as Public, if you intend others to freely see it, and please Tag me in the post. https://www.facebook.com/ldouglas.garrett.3

Same goes for Twitter, and I can be tagged there at @LDouglasGarrett

Thank you all, and here's to the success of the series! Enjoy!

Remember Them, in paperback!!!

Yes, something awesome is happening!

Folks said they wanted an actual paperback edition of Remember Them...

AND IT'S AVAILABLE NOW!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1703536177

This is a print-on-demand paperback, produced and delivered by Amazon in mere days.

My thanks to Scott Ruggels for the full-wrap version of the cover, and to Nicky Robinson who transcended her role of Editor and deserves all the Publisher credit for producing this edition.

Enjoy!

11.NOV, 2019

American soldiers, volunteer or draftee, are publicly recognized twice a year... Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. Both worthy, and both in a way uniquely American days. I'm proud to a fault of my brothers and sisters who served and are still here to be thanked.

I've also had the pleasure and honour of associating with some of the finest people that the rest of the world sends under arms to defend their lands, their principles, and their sovereign rights.

So, please, forgive my concentration on Armistice Day / Remembrance Day things on 11.NOV.

I love all my Yank comrades, yet today is more to me...

 

Ich hatt' einen Kameraden...


Back to usual 'blog posts from tomorrow. Thank you, all.

Remember Them (Remember The Trade Book 2) on sale now.

Perhaps you were expecting this to be a "Keys to Kindle Sales, Part 4" post...

That would however imply that I understand what is happening at all.

I'm very grateful to all the people who have picked up a copy of this new book, and here's another shout-out to the Kindle Unlimited readers who have surprised me with their activity.

That said, all the metrics that I have access to seem to point toward a massive Social Media promotion failure so far. Less than a dozen of the core group of Remember The Trade Book Page Followers have (on FB page metrics) even been shown the posts there as to the new book being available. Why so few when the page has 60+ Followers? Absolutely no idea.

Other platforms are getting a modest number of Impressions, but limited redistribution (like retweets on Twitter) and no comments at all.

It's a mystery.

None the less, here we are. Forward we go. I'll attempt some analysis of metrics over the initial release week once this weekend has played out.

Here's hoping you all enjoy the book.

Remember Them (Remember The Trade Book 2) is LIVE!

To my amazement, the publication process went flawlessly, and in a matter of hours far less than the 24+ that could have been required.

In other words...

You can purchase Remember Them now.

LET'S DO THIS THING!

Remember Them is in for publication!

Get ready...

Get hyped...

TELL EVERYONE...

Remember Them, the second book in the Remember The Trade series,
comes out on 30.October, 2019.



Here we go, folks. This time, with feeling.
