Prices are going up soon

On February 1, I'm raising the prices of many of my ebooks on Smashwords and Amazon Kindle by one dollar, so now's your chance to get them while they cost less.

I priced them low when I first released them. For some reason, 99 cent ebooks have a bad rep, and are often referred to as "99 cent cookies." I don't want mine to be viewed that way.

Many of my self-pubbed stories are reissues of previously released works. The few I've released on my own went through many rounds of critiques and revisions, and are on a par with the other published stories, and I'm happy to say they've received wonderful reviews.

Initially,my pricing scale related to word count - stories of 10k or thereabouts cost 99 cents; 20k or so cost $1.99. I topped it out at $2.99 for longer stories, even for my 90k dark paranormal, The Magic of Lavender. Most epublishers release longer novels at $6.99 or $7.99, so at $3.99, it will still be a bargain, like all the others.

But if you've been eyeing up any, now's your chance to grab 'em. Look for them on my Smashwords page and my Amazon author page.

What's the highest price you'd pay for an ebook? Just curious. :)
