It Never Gets Old

Lost and Found by Karen L. Syed

Almost 11 years ago, we started Echelon Press. It was a huge endeavor and there were times I honestly thought it would die a horrible death, but thanks to the support of many wonderful authors, we have continued to grow. When the company began, we had no authors and nothing to publish. So we did what any desperate small publisher would do–we published our own stuff.

The first book published by Echelon Press back then was my novel, Lost and Found. It was a fun novel to write and over the years I’ve never tired of reading it again myself. It’s one of my favorites. Well, the original cover (my own fault for demanding that design) was not so good and I’m pretty sure that’s why the sales were abysmal. So I left it in eBook format and took the print version down.

All these years later, I decided it was just too good to not have out there for all the world to read. So after many rounds of editing…I hate being edited…it was reissued in an updated eBook format. Several months later, and more rounds of editing…does that shit never end?…I have finally received copies of the new print version of Lost and Found.

Now, you can go and buy the eBook at all kinds of online retailers, and you can go and buy it at Amazon in print.

But wait! There is another option. You can get your very own personally signed copy directly from me. That’s right. Send $15.00 via Paypal to echelonpress@gmail.com with your mailing address and I’ll sign and send you a copy. How damn cool is that?

They make great gifts for the romance novel reader in your life and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2012!

Book Chick CIty

Well, I’ve done it. I just signed up to do the Book Chick City Mystery & Suspense Reading Challenge 2012!

I read a ton of books each year and I always write reviews, so I might as well get them out to a wider audience.

During the year I will post my reviews on here as well as my other usual haunts. Reading mysteries? Why don’t you sign up with me?

 

And the Winner is…

Family Matters by Jacqueline Vick

Buy Now at Kindle!

Well, it is just past noon on Christmas Day and I’d like to say my Begging for Reviews contest was a 100% success, however… I will have to settle for saying it was a huge success.

Last week I offered to give away a Kindle Touch to one lucky winner if reviewers (of any level) posted 50 reviews onto the original Blog post. Here is what happened.

Free Book Sent – 55

Reviews Posted – 25

It’s not bad overall, I hoped for more, but this makes me very happy. On behalf of all the author reviewed, we sincerely thank you for your time and willingness to jump at my request. Your reviews have already began earning us sales and for that we will remain sincerely appreciate.

Now, about the Kindle Touch. I had kept in my mind that if at least 40 reviews were posted, I would go ahead and give away the Kindle. Unfortunately that did not happen. So in the spirit of Christmas, I have decided that I would go ahead and give away a $25.00 gift card to Amazon.com instead.

The winner was chosen by my husband who had no idea what the heck I was doing. He picked a number and that was that.

Congratulations to Jackie Vick.  I will be sending her the gift certificate.

I hope in the future all of you will consider reviewing books (not just ours) on a regular basis. I can also tell you that I hope you will continue to read my Blog and Echelon books. You never know when I might have another contest, or what I might want to give away!!

May this day be filled with nothing but joy to all of you and those you love. Thank you again!!
