LIP GLOCK - Book Two of The Cozy Cash Mysteries - is Here!!!
Huge Happy Dancin' today in D. D. Scott-ville, Y'All!
One year...almost to-the-day...since my debut release Bootscootin' Blahniks, my sixth book is here!!!
LIP GLOCK - Book Two of my Cozy Cash Mysteries - is now available on both Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook!
LIP GLOCK - on Amazon Kindle
LIP GLOCK - on B&N Nook
The Smashwords version is also coming soon for those of you with Sony and Kobo Readers and/or iPads!!!
And speaking of soon...here it is:
LIP GLOCK - on Smashwords
Here's the super-sonic thrill-ride scoop on LIP GLOCK:
Think Will and Kate gone Bond, James Bond...and the blue-hair version of Charlie's Angels too...Under the Tuscan Sun
Buckle your seatbelts! Cozy Cash Mystery, Super-Hot, International Crime-Fighting Couple Roman Bellesconi and Zoey Witherspoon - now very Will and Kate gone Bond, James Bond - once again team-up with The Bootscootin' Books' Mom Squad, now the blue-hair version of Charlie's Angels, to recover billions of bunches of hedge fund cozy-cash...but this time, all Under the Tuscan Sun.
It's a super-sonic speed, action-packin' thrill-ride, full of pot-bellied pigs, hydrofoils, and gelato!
But what I'm celebrating most about my Journey to Publishing Oz...is all of you...my readers and fans!!!
Over the last year, 5500 of you have joined my D. D. Scott-ville Bootscootin' and Cozy Cash Mystery Worlds!!!
I can't believe it was just a year ago I decided I'd heard this - from traditional NY Publishers - for the last time:
"We love your voice, D. D., and your books too. You are really very funny. But we just can't sell these kind of books in today's market."
Well...guess what, NY?
I can sell 'em, and I have sold 'em...to the tune of over 5500 copies in just the first year!!!
But again, it's not that I've sold that number of copies that matters most to me...
It's that I've reached 5500 readers!!! I've made 5500 readers and fans LOL!!! Nothin' matters more to me than that!
So with LIP GLOCK's release, comes a huge 'ole Thank You from all my heart and soul!!!
Y'all rock, D. D. Scott-ville!!!
Cheers to you and Happy Reading too!!!
The Best of LIP GLOCK Wishes --- D. D. Scott
P.S. And wait 'til y'all see what's comin' next...

My Inaugural WG2E Real Numbers Post Is Up!!!
Happy Monday, D. D. Scott-ville!
And what a fabulous kick-off to the new week it is!!!
My inaugural WG2E Real Numbers Post Is Up!!!
Check it out at The WG2E !!!
I'm ecstatic with my sales numbers, and I'm thrilled to share 'em with you at The WG2E.
Keep in mind when you're reviewing my numbers that unlike the traditional publishing world of old where you had to have a huge push by a major publisher to sell well, I didn't have that.
I'm totally self-made via Indie Epublishing.
And I'm here to tell you - then show you how - it can be done.
I'm right on track - as you'll see comparing my numbers to other Bestselling Indie Authors - to selling my own multiple thousands of Ebooks by the end of 2011.
How?
By making some of the same tough but great decisions that they did too! (More on that in future posts both here and at The WG2E.)
So check this out...here's a teaser at the numbers you'll find today at The WG2E:
*** Super cool stat here...I've sold 47 BOOTSCOOTIN' BLAHNIKS books in 4 months - 35 MUSE THERAPY books in just 2 months - and 18 STOMPIN' ON STETSONS books in 1 month!
See what's happening with each book I add to my backlist?!
*** My first royalty check was $32.66 (for August 2010 sales). The second check was $53.65 (for Sept/Oct sales). A 62% increase!!! Yesss!!! - I went from selling 17 books in the first check to 31 books in the second check!
*** Two of my books - MUSE THERAPY and STOMPIN' ON STETSONS - have made several of Amazon's bestseller lists (again...more on that in another post)
Not bad for a writer who's made absolutely nothing for the last ten years!!!
That's right...as I've mentioned several times and will continue to slide in here whenever I can - LOL!...it took me ten years of struggling thru the traditional publishing world to get here, the last two of those years having been lead by a fabulous agent who is now right there with me on my Epublishing journey (more from her later too)!
For the complete analysis of my first set of Real Numbers, go to my post today at The WG2E .
I'm looking forward to your comments and questions, and I'm looking forward to sharing all my future sales numbers.
Only by sharing today's Epublishing Real Numbers can writers Pay It Forward and help those that are considering the Epublishing route but have yet to take that leap.

The WG2E's Real Numbers Series: Putting Epublishing Numbers Into Perspective
Mornin', D. D. Scott-ville!
This coming Monday - January 10, 2011 - is the Launch of The WG2E's Real Numbers Series!
And every Monday thereafter at The WG2E, we're gonna share our Epublishing Real Numbers then analyze the heck out of 'em too.
But before we do that, I wanted to give our numbers the proper perspective.
No, I'm no J. A. Konrath yet, but I happen to find a fabulous example of exactly where I'll be coming from with my Real Numbers on his blog.
The example can be found on J. A.'s blog A Newbie's Guide to Publishing with his Guest Post by L. J. Sellers.
L. J. is the author of the Detective Jackson mysteries, the first of which I just downloaded to my Kindle - for 99 cents, btw - after reading her terrific interview. Here's the cover and Kindle link:
THE SEX CLUB
And here's what got my attention right away...the very first paragraph of her interview:
In January of 2010, I had one book on Kindle and sold 31 copies. I had two print books on the market with a small publisher, and they weren’t selling much better. In December, I had six books on Kindle and sold over 10,000 copies. To get from point A to point B, I had to make some radical decisions.
Now that is exactly the kind of story I'm about to tell you on The WG2E.
So mark your calendar for this coming Monday, January 11th, and begin the Real Numbers Journey with me at The WG2E.
