Spider’s Bite e-book now $1.99 …

• Posted in About Books, Elemental Assassin series

So I have something cool (and economical) to share today: the Spider’s Bite e-book is now available for $1.99 through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online booksellers.

You read that right — $1.99.

Spider’s Bite is the first book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. So if you ever wanted to try the series or add it to your e-book collection, now’s the time to do it — on the cheap.

Normally, the e-book would be $7.99, so why is it now $1.99? Well, my publisher, Pocket Books, thought this would be a nice promotion to lead up to the release of Spider’s Revenge, the fifth book in the series that will be out on Sept. 27.

I think offering backlist titles at a discount is a smart marketing tool. Money is tight these days, and paying $1.99 for a book is a pretty good bargain. I look at book blogs like Dear Author that do posts about discounted reads to see what’s available, and I’m more likely to take a chance on a new-to-me author if the book is less than $5.

Plus, I know many people are hesitant to start a series that already has several books in it, but I think the $1.99 price will tempt some folks to check out Gin and the rest of the gang. Fingers crossed anyway.

I’ve been told that the Spider’s Bite e-book will be $1.99 through Monday, Sept. 19. So go forth and purchase if you wish. Happy downloading and reading! 😉

      I assume this price is just good in the U.S., but I don’t know for sure. My publisher didn’t give me any information about whether it would be available overseas or not.

    I found your books because Audible had a special 3-for-2 deal on different series book a few weeks ago. I’d never heard of you before that, but decided to try the first book since it was essentially “free”. When I finally had the time to listen to the book I loved it. Now I’ve bought the other three Audiobooks and I got the fifth book as an e-book because I coudn’t wait for the audio version. So, yes, special deals can be good for sales.

      Very cool. Glad you are enjoying the series. I believe the audiobook for SPIDER’S REVENGE will be out on Sept. 27, the same day as the paper and e-book release, if you prefer the audiobooks.
