Why Purchase the Books from the Author Direct When I can get it from a Big Retailer?

I think this will be a question that will come to a lot of readers' minds. After all, you've become used to purchasing your books from the big online retailers. The big retailers take a significant portion of the sale price you pay and it can be months before the author see's any payment.

By purchasing from the author direct, you are cutting out the middleman. We receive the money sooner and can then use that to create more books, so that you, the reader, have more opportunities to spend time with our characters.

It also allows us to develop a relationship with you, the reader. That is why I encourage everyone to opt into our marketing when you checkout. We don't send a lot of emails but can keep you alerted to special sales and new releases that will come here at great prices before we put them out to the big box retailers.
