And the Kindle Scout benefits just keep on coming…
Cinderella is a smart shopper and she loves a deal.
Especially from Amazon.
Amazon loves to promote their Kindle Scout winners (officially Kindle Press or KP Authors). I’ve seen my fellow authors show up on Kindle Daily Deals, as the lead book in emails, and earning that coveted “#1 Best Seller” Orange Banner.
Wow.
This month until November 30th, my Kindle Scout book, LOVE ME FOREVER is an Amazon Holiday Deal! The discounted price is $1.99. Check out my video below:
Love Me Forever is on sale for $1.99 — A Civil War time travel romance from Jina Bacarr on Vimeo.
Another benefit is the wonderful support you receive from the other authors.
I’m so proud to be a Kindle Scout Winner and Kindle Press Author — a big bonus for me was meeting and hanging out with the other winners.
Such a talented, witty group — and good cooks, too!
So a bunch of us decided to cook our books. We’ve just released a FREE anthology of recipes:
KP Authors (Kindle Press Authors) Cook Their Books.
I hope you enjoy our recipes. Mine are from LOVE ME FOREVER.
You can read an excerpt from my book along with a fun chat with my heroines, Liberty and Pauletta Sue.

Do your characters keep you awake at nights?
Mine do.
First, they wanted to be Kindle Scout winners…
Now they want to be video stars.
And it’s all Cinderella’s fault.
Cindy had so much fun at the ball and then meeting the queen and getting her picture taken everywhere she went, she didn’t want to give it up and spend her days sitting in the castle watching old movies.
So she riled up the characters in my Kindle Scout winner, LOVE ME FOREVER, and convinced them they could be stars.
Cindy went Hollywood on me.
She’s now producing a bunch of short videos with highlights from LOVE ME FOREVER and yes, she even convinced me to do the voiceovers.
How could I refuse? You want to shout your book to the rooftops and do your very best to promote it, so I’ve been slaving behind a hot microphone, and guess what, I’ve got some videos for you.
I hope you enjoy them…

So what’s the next step in the Kindle Scout experience? I’ve received tons of support from other Kindle Scout winners with retweeting, blogging, YouTubing, etc. It’s been an extraordinary experience, kinda like joining a sorority or fraternity. A sense of having each other’s back and always being there if someone has a question.
And we’ve started our own Facebook page: KP Authors. Check it out!
Thanks for coming along on my journey with me…and come back next month for more on my Kindle Scout experience as the program grows…I wouldn’t be surprised if I have more videos for you.

Cinderella’s got new glass slippers: My Kindle Scout Experience Part 4 by Jina Bacarr

Glass slippers don’t last forever…
But Kindle e-Books do.
So when Cindy discovered her treasured glass slippers had a crack in them…ow! It was time to get a new pair.
And that’s what’s been happening in publishing. It’s time to embrace new and different ways of getting our books to readers. That’s where the Kindle Scout program fills the gap. As I’ve discussed in previous posts, it’s been an amazing journey for me since I started my campaign with LOVE ME FOREVER, my Civil War time travel romance.
Last week I danced in my slippers when LOVE ME FOREVER went on sale.
Amazon sent me an email with the screenshots, showing LOVE ME FOREVER PR. My book was in the first slot on page one.
I’ve been blogging, too. Check out my posts on www.jinabacarr.wordpress.com
Facebook Launch Party
The Kindle Scout Authors did a 3-hour Facebook party. It was amazing…you can read all the comments and see what happened here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1755873821306210
Time travel is my favorite genre, so I was thrilled to hit the Kindle e–Books>Romance>Time Travel Top 100 list several times. Here’s a graphic I made:
But most gratifying to me are the reviews:
“This is one of the best time travel historical novels I have ever read. I was hooked from page one. The descriptive scenes of the Civil War battles are so realistic that you find yourself imagining you are actually on the battlefield. I highly recommend this book.”
“Gripped me from the first page and wouldn’t let go until I finished the book HOURS later.”
“Rich in history and social issues, Love Me Forever is both deep and emotionally compelling. Another fine read from a Kindle Scout winner.”
=============
What’s next for me? I’m writing the sequel to LOVE ME FOREVER, “Love Me Always,” where we meet up with the offspring of the one of the heroines and send her off on her own time traveling adventure!
Thanks for coming along with me on my journey.
