We all want to spend more time with our favorite characters. Personally, I’d trade a good portion of my library for some more official Austen time with Lizzy and Darcy, or even better, more time with Aragorn and Arwen or Aslan and Lucy.
Because of this love, I’ve started writing some bonus stories for my book characters as well. While I can’t pretend Egan comes anywhere near Aslan, I like to think these bonus stories are the kind of thing you, my dear readers, enjoy as well. For those of you who are newer to this shindig, here’s how my bonus stories work:
- For each book I write, I write a bonus story. It’s available to all of my newsletter readers. Everyone who joins my newsletter team gets the password with which to access ALL of my bonus stories on my Exclusive Content page.
- Getting Stories #2 and #3:
- Reviews on Amazon, Kobo, Apple, Goodreads, Google Play, and all of the other book retailers help my books succeed. The algorithm on Amazon, for example, is set to calculate reviews using the number of reviews. In plain English, this means that the more reviews I have, the more likely the store is to show them to other readers. In turn, selling more books helps me make enough money with which I can continue creating new products. (Believe it or not, publishing a book professionally is EXPENSIVE.)
- As a thanks to everyone who reviews my book, when we hit 25 reviews (not ratings, but actual reviews) on Amazon, I release a second short story to all of my newsletter subscribers. And when we hit 50 reviews, I release a third short story!
So, if you like Seer’s Secret, it would be a HUGE help if you could leave it a review on Amazon or Goodreads (or both, if you’re so inclined.) If you need a little encouragement, here are the stories I’ve written to accompany The Seer’s Secret, and I’m excited about them, too, if I do say so myself.
Note: Bonus stories are meant to be read after reading the main story. If you read them first, it’s very likely they’ll be confusing and not very enjoyable.
Bonus Story #1:
Out of the Dark
Alys sacrificed everything to help her friends escape. So what happens when she’s caught…and offered the chance to be free by fighting against everything she’s ever known?
Bonus Story #2
A Mother’s Love
Can a mother’s love change the world?
Coming as soon as we hit 25 reviews…
When despair was close at hand, a seemingly chance discovery of one little girl changed everything for Egan. But at the cost of someone else’s everything. Egan chose to gamble everything on a string of hope…but for the love of his son, never looked back.
Coming as soon as we hit 50 reviews…
I don’t see a download link yet for the bonus story… 🤔
Are you signed up for the newsletter?
Yes. I see the download option for all of the past shorts, but not this one. 🤔
I’m having the same problem. Can download all the other stories, but not this one.
Thanks for fixing it, Brittany!
Sorry about that! I just forgot to update it.
It should be all fixed now 🙂
The first two stories should be good to go now 🙂
