New York Bestseller in the October crime and mystery giveaway. Book marketing for aspiring authors and free books for book lovers

I try to treat all authors the same in the mystery, crime and suspense giveaways each month, but when New York Times bestsellers show up in the group, I cannot help myself. All authors may want to do what Emma Jameson is doing.

I am no New York Times Bestseller, but I do understand the difference in bestselling authors and the rest of us.

Successful independent authors usually ALL do the same thing.

They accumulate, create and grow their own database of loyal readers.

They DO NOT rely on Amazon or anyone else to bring in sales.

When you take responsibility, you are in control. These savvy authors understand the power of working with a group.

Every month, authors signup for free giveaways. Usually there are 50 to 100 free eBooks in the giveaway. And each author must select a date when they will notify their mailing list about the giveaway.

Readers can expect free books each month. And if they are on more than one mailing list, they can expect a selection of over 100 free books each month. Some new, some not.
