This month I have released a new boxed
set called Mimi’s
Mix. I selected a story from each of my
three series’ - books that haven’t reached as many readers as I would like. I
chose Partners from the Vegas
Series, His Devious Angel a full-length from the Angels with Attitudes Series and one of my novellas called He's
Her from the Vicarage Bench
Series. I put the three into a boxed set and crossed my fingers.
This isn’t my first boxed set; I'd made
another just before Christmas. In that case I took the three novellas from The Vicarage Bench Series, which hardly
got any attention at all, and put them all together. Much to my surprise, the
set has sold wonderfully. Of course the fact that I’ve priced it at $.99 might
have made the difference. (Ya think?) And I did hesitate to price it so low.
Until I realized that the combined word count was less than many single title
novels.
Each of the novellas in the anthology
was singularly priced at $.99 and still are. Therefore, you would think a fair
price would be $2.99 which is an acceptable price for three separate stories.
But after the set came off a promotion and took off, I just couldn’t put the
price back up. The sales now have justified me keeping the price low and giving
the readers a treat.
***Another win-win is that I’ll be gifting a copy of
each if my boxed sets to two lucky people who leave a comment about what they
think of boxed sets of books.
My
contact information is as follows: I do love to hear from you so please drop me
a line.
I enjoy boxed sets. The fact that the novels are together helps me remember to read the next before forgetting the first, and I do have a really bad memory. I like the continuity of a boxed set. But I also like the fact that the end of book one gives me a logical place to stop and catch up with all the household stuff that reading good books distracts me from.
ReplyDeleteI love boxed sets! They allow authors to showcase a mix of books and are value for money! So YAY for boxed sets!

You've made my day, Ladies! Personally I love to get a book with more than one story and now I know I'm not alone. :-)
