Good evening everyone!
Looking forward to some great self promotions this week, I’m in need of a few new reads! If anyone cares to swap reads/reviews, just send me a DM.
I self-published my debut poetry collection last month called Strange Cars in the Night, which plays as sort of a love letter to road trips, moonstruck weirdness, solitude, and oddities, with a splash of comedy thrown in. Here’s the book description from Amazon:
“Strange Cars in the Night is a savage debut poetry collection that moves at breakneck speed, written in the taste of a modern-day Hunter S. Thompson. It continues to unfurl Eric's stream of conscious writing style onto the page and depicts an almost hallucinogenic recounting of what happens every night when the moon comes out to play.”
Strange Cars in the Night
Paperback - 7.00
Kindle - 2.99
My debut novel The Dioramist was self-published last April as well. It’s a coming of middle-twenties age dramedy (in the way of a literary John Hughes/Judd Apatow) about a man who struggles with the long love story of his life and his yearning to pursue creative writing. It’s an adult picture book with sketches that go right along with the story. The book itself is the main character’s diary, which comes across to the reader in a stream-of-consciousness format. Here is the description from Amazon:
“The titular character in Eric Keegan’s The Dioramist is in the throes of a quarter-life crisis. He may only be in his midtwenties, but the dioramist finds himself lost and confused. He has spent so much of his time in an ill-defined relationship that he doesn’t understand himself apart from his partner.
When a friend suggests that he begin writing down his inner thoughts, hopes, and dreams, our hero sets off on an adventure that shows him a new passion in life. Writing becomes fundamental to his identity, but he isn’t sure if he has the courage to share his thoughts with the world.
At the same time, he struggles with his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Elizian. The two have been in a holding pattern for so long that neither is sure they’re ready to make the next step. As the writer gains enlightenment about his own life, Elizian will be inspired to seek out the same.
This intimate, personal look at one man’s journey shows the many different routes recovery can take and reminds you that it’s never too late to fall in love with something new.”

​
In this kinky take on the Grimm Brother’s Cinderella, a woman slaves away under misassumptions until a helping hand gets her to The Ball where all her dreams come true.
The image of her stepbrother, Max, and his boyfriend in a BDSM scene is stuck in Alyson’s head like an ache, it is stuck in her heart like a need. She craves it, and looks for something similar.
When Max comes back from the army, he is a changed man and he can’t help but notice his stepsister has also changed. She is beautiful inside and out, but the situation is impossible. He loves Victor. He will not give him up. And Alyson doesn’t know about their kinky lifestyle... or does she?
Victor met Max when they were both stationed overseas. They found something together that they weren't supposed to have. It was something that neither wanted to give up, but as Victor forces Max to see what’s right in front of him, that they have a chance with Alyson, he has to admit that he might have to let Max go. After all, Victor knows that Max couldn't live without Alyson.
Alyson asks them for the impossible: to take her to the BDSM club called The Ball. Maybe, even though all seems lost, they can figure out that life can end like a fairy tale.
This book contains BDSM themes as well as MMF relationships. Not appropriate for readers under 18

After the time he spent building a life and a home with Ezra; larger than life, worldwide traveler now dead after a heart attack Jude is struggling without him.

Soon their friendship means more to him than he had ever expected. For Jude, life after Ezra means learning to fall in love again, and accepting all the risks that await. And in doing so, he finds that life is still worth living.
A love story for this generation, A Mango Tree Grows In Winter asks, what do you do when life changes and surprises wait around every corner, and when the person you love breaks your heart?
A Perilous Journey by B.S. Hornigold
Fiction written as a real life memoir. An adult take on those great intrepid adventure stories many of us loved growing up.
B.S. Hornigold is a hard-drinking, womanizing, rugged anti-hero. He travels the world living off a meagre and minimal income trying to find fame, profit and notoriety as a 21st-century tomb raider and treasure hunter.
In the first novella of the series we meet Hornigold as he reunites with an old friend through violent circumstances in the Honduras jungle. This friend tells him of a strong lead on rumors of a great lost city, and the two decide it's worth a shot to check out if there's actually any truth to these rumors. Their search takes them deep underground on the other side of the world in Borneo, where unbeknownst to them a treacherous secret awaits....
I have set the minimum pricing on this everywhere so it costs 0.99 pounds/dollars/euros etc. For some reason the US link is displaying $1.24 but on my pricing page it says it's displayed at $0.99, either way still a cheap buy! It's free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers.
Here's that link one more time! I hope you enjoy it, and if you do then please feel free to give it a rating on amazon as it still isn't displaying any.
Thank you

Hello all. I've been a magician for a couple of years now, and I've been working at the 'family fun-days' and events in my area. I've been amazed by the number of Multi Level Marketing stalls I'm seeing, and I have had a number of conversations with stall holders who do not see the risks of what I thought was a well known scam. I've decided to make a little booklet that I can hand out to people in the hope of saving them the misery that can come with these get rich schemes.
​
In order to get it off the ground, I'd like to give anyone who sees this a free download. Here's a link to my dropbox for a PDF. If you like it, i would really, really appreciate it if you could leave a positive review on Amazon. Struggling to get this seen, so any way you share the Amazon links would be appreciated.

The Lightbender by Jeremy Gordon
Fifteen-year-old Zophar Lightbender is the first kid in history to travel to outer space – but tragedy strikes during the mission, and he sees his parents for the last time.
When he wakes, he finds himself in an advanced, futuristic tower filled with talking robots, holographic screens, and mind-boggling technologies. Only with the help of an impish, super-intelligent girl named Aiya does he start to learn what really happened on that fateful day in space.
They uncover a sinister plot to dominate the lives of everyone they care about, and Zophar and Aiya must use their intelligence and wit – not to mention a persnickety robot, an overeager social media expert, and a wise teenage humanist – to protect their loved ones.
This is the tale of The Lightbender.

It was about 2 years ago, I think. I did see a good uptick in reviews, although not as many as I hoped. I read an article stating that free downloads only have about a 10% rate of being opened. So for 15k downloads, you should get about 1500 people to open the book. From open, there is about a 50% chance the person reads the book (obviously depending on interest, quality, etc.). That reduces possible reviews to 750. From reading the book, the article claimed about 30% of people will actually finish it. Now we are down to 225 possible reviews. From possible review candidates, the article said on average, only about 1% of people ever review any product they use, including books, so that drops it to 2.25 reviews. My experience is pretty similar to those numbers. That is a conversion rate of 0.015% from downloads into reviews.
What I learned was simple: you have to have a reason to give your book away. Why are you doing it? If it is to get reviews, you need a higher conversion rate than 0.015%. How do you achieve that? Offer the book for free to only interested parties is one method. Offer it on websites with genre themes where the conversion rate should at least hit 1%. There are other methods as well.
For me personally, when I giveaway a book, which I am currently doing, you need to have the second book in the series already available. I wanted free downloads to help drive sales. In order to do that, you need the next one released, plus you need a high conversion rate of downloads to being opened and read. So for marketing this promo, I targeted websites with curated email lists for my genre, fantasy. That leads to higher conversion rates and possibly higher review rates too. In fact, the book has been free for maybe 30 hours, and I've already gotten sales on book 2, despite it being priced at $4.99. That means the conversion rate is high from download to open, and the conversion rate is decent at least from open to read and so forth.
In my first giveaway promo, I targeted volume. I marketed with websites dedicated just to free eBooks, not to free fantasy books. By using that method, I got high download numbers, but low conversion. This time, by changing my approach, I'm getting fewer downloads, on target for maybe 3000 over 3 days, but I should have much higher conversion rates, which I am already seeing. Of course, you could always target both groups, and aim for high downloads + high conversion. It all depends on how much you want to spend marketing.

In ancient Greece, the nine year breeding cycle of a 200 foot tall sea monster regularly dismantles a small island, rich in silver ore. After repeated failures to thwart the beast, a new plan is hatched, the construction of a great stone statue meant to frighten it away.
Linus is one who works the statue; stubborn and ambitious; prizing his own contributions above those of his peers and convinced that his vision for their work is the right one. As the beast draws near, Linus will strive for control of the statue, watch his only friend try and instigate a violent revolution, and confront the soldier with whose wife he's been having an affair.
Trundling in the footsteps of King Kong and Godzilla, Anaxagoras is a story about obsession, art, and the inevitable, delivered by way of giant monster.
