It's Almost #MothersDay - Give a Great #Kindle Read!

I just realized this coming Sunday is Mother's Day!  What do I want?  Books, of course!  If you have a mom to buy for who likes to read (or kids who need ideas for you), an ebook is a simple idea to add to your list...and it costs less than most cards.  Many people don't realize how easy it is to send an ebook to someone.  All you need is their email address, and you're set with a gift that will give a mom hours of entertainment, not to mention an excuse to put up her feet and get lost in a suspenseful story.

Both my novels have something for everyone: a spooky haunting, a rekindled romance, a suspenseful mystery, secrets from the past, friendships, and forgiveness.  If you wanted to send Gull Harbor - a 19-week Kindle bestseller - for example, to a mom, sister, aunt, friend, etc., all you need to do is click this link: Gull Harbor on Amazon.  Then you go over to the right hand side, where within a larger light green box there's a yellow button that reads "Give as a Gift".  Click that button, and once you're signed in, the page will provide a box for you to enter the recipient's email address.  You may also choose the date she'll receive the book, and you have a larger box below to enter a message.  Click "Place Your Order" at the bottom of the page, and you're done!

If it turns out the recipient does not have a Kindle device, there are several solutions.  Amazon offers Free Kindle Reading Apps for almost any device - I used the one for Windows successfully until I got my first Kindle.  Also, Amazon will allow the recipient of the gifted book to "return" it for a gift card instead if they so choose.

Finally, if the recipient has a Nook ereader instead, you can easily use the similar Barnes & Noble "Buy as Gift" button option located directly to the right of the orange Buy Now button.

Hope this helps with some gift-giving ideas - Happy Reading and Happy Mother's Day!

Gull Harbor released on Kindle Select! Kathryn Knight

I'm officially multi-published!  Last evening, while waiting for my son's soccer game to start, I hit refresh on my phone's search for Gull Harbor on Amazon.  I had been told by my publisher to expect it to go live within the week, but thus far only a similarly-titled cookbook showed up in my searches.

This time it came up--what a feeling that is to first see the novel you worked so hard on make it from your computer to an enormous marketplace.  I scrambled to start promoting from my phone while following the soccer game as best I could.

I still can't believe I've had 2 full-length novels release within 6 months.  I don't imagine I'll ever have that happen again, so I'm trying to enjoy the feeling now.  I'm about 7,000 words into a paranormal YA romance right now, so my third novel is a long way from even a completed rough draft.  But I know that since August, I've been very busy promoting Silver Lake and editing Gull Harbor, and that has cut into writing time.  It's tough to balance it all with a part-time job and family and pets, but I'm not complaining--this journey has been rewarding in so many ways, and has resulted in a dream come true.

Silver Lake was not part of the Kindle Select early release, so I'm interested in how this will play out, sales-wise.  If anyone has any tips for me for the next 3 months, I'd love to hear them!  If you'd like to purchase a Kindle version of Gull Harbor, the link is below.  And if you don't have a Kindle but can't wait till June, you can download a FREE Kindle App from Amazon for your laptop.  I have one and it's great.  I've included that link too.  Thanks for stopping by and celebrating with me!

99 cent sale on Silver Lake - Kathryn Knight

I'm celebrating!  It's my first birthday as a published author...last year the contract had been signed, but the book was in the editing stages.  In fact, I remember stressing about edits on Silver Lake's blurb at my birthday dinner last year - but it came out great (see below).  Normally $4.99 for the e-book, Silver Lake will be available for .99 cents for the weekend from The Wild Rose Press (all e formats) and for 2 weeks on Amazon (Kindle) and Barnes and Noble (Nook).  Please find the links below and enjoy this suspenseful reunion romance and ghost story!  And one thing I discovered recently - Amazon offers a free Kindle app for your laptop or other device - I downloaded it recently, it's great :)

Blurb:

Rain Anderson can't decide which is more unsettling—encountering the ghost of her missing friend, or reuniting with the man whose love she foolishly rejected. But one thing is certain: the past has come back to haunt her, quite literally.

Five years ago, Rain's tight-knit group of high school friends unraveled when one vanished during their senior year. Now, a parent's deathbed request has reunited the friends at Silver Lake, including Jason Lansing, the man Rain discarded. Rain and Jason discover the powerful attraction between them has survived, but though Jason is willing to forgive, he can't let himself forget. The possibility of falling for Rain again is too risky.

Slamming doors, crashing objects, flaring fires—clearly the ghost has a message to share. As Rain and Jason struggle to unravel the truth, they must face a desperate spirit in need of help…and a burning passion that refuses to die.
