How do you stand out in the Kindle age?

Word of mouth is still as important in the age of eBooks as it was before—maybe even more so. The great thing about eBooks and self-publishing is that it has expanded the market and brought more books to readers. The downside of that is that, as an author, you have way more competition vying for reader’s attention. Getting the word out about your book is as important as writing and editing it.

Good covers are also essential. Not only do they need to stand out and make a statement when looking at the cover in full size, but also as a thumbnail picture on e-retail sites such as Amazon. One of the reasons I decided to have a custom cover made for my first self-published novel is because I know how important it is when it comes to drawing attention to the book. Anything that can make you and your book stand out in a good way is a plus.

Welcome to Serpent’s
Kiss (Serpent’s Kiss 0.5)

by Sherri
Hayes

After losing her husband unexpectedly, Katrina Mayer decided
to open Serpent’s Kiss. She wanted it to be a place where she and her fellow
kinksters could play and socialize.

Five years after the doors opened, the club is everything
she’d hoped it would be. On Friday and Saturday nights, Serpent’s Kiss is
filled with men and women who share a similar desire to explore the pleasures
BDSM has to offer. The club has continued to grow, and over the years, many of
its members have become friends.

The one thing Katrina didn’t expect when she’d decided to
open a club was the human drama that came with it. Learning to balance her life
as the club mistress has taken some getting used to, but she wouldn’t change a
thing.

hit her mark.” ~ Donna J, Goodreads

Author Bio

Sherri spent most
of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite
subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn’t
good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin.
For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author.

At the age of
thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a
television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her
hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever
after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories
on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more.

Nearly eight
years later, Sherri is the author of eight full-length novels, and two short
stories. Writing has become a creative outlet that allows her to explore a wide
range of emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the
twists and turns she can create. You can find a current list of all of Sherri’s

Burning For Her Kiss (Serpent’s Kiss #1)

Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with
another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last relationship ended in
disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason she agrees to put
in an appearance at Serpent’s Kiss, a private kink club in downtown St. Louis, is
because her best friend, Nicole, won’t quit nagging her. When she walks in the
door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a man who will have
her reconsidering her ban on men.

As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker
is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make sure they know what
they’re doing and return home to their families after every shift. It isn’t, however,
what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join Serpent’s Kiss to see if
what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to explore in the real
world. He’s also hoping that he’ll be lucky enough to meet a woman with whom he
can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club, he is intrigued.
Drew has to get to know her better.

After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get
involved with Drew. It doesn’t matter that he is sweet and charming. She’s been
burned before and Beth doesn’t think she can survive having her heart crushed
again. Drew, however, won’t take no for an answer. He wants a relationship and
is determined to chip away at her defenses until she relents. Will she give him
a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to heal?
