My pen name books haven’t been selling, so I’ve been doing a social media experiment to get more book sales. In the last episode of this video series, I posted every day for 30 days, and well…things didn’t go as well as I wanted them to. So today I’m going back to the basics to take another look at my books to make sure they’re ready to make the sale. I’m going to be updating book blurbs, back covers, end matter, and even the sales pages of the books themselves to make sure they convert curious readers to buyers.

I fell in love with all of your romance novels, Mandi, I read them all on KU and I’m planning to purchase the paperbacks as soon as I can!
The book covers on the back to define the series is a great idea.
