AMAZON ANNOUNCES PRINT BOOK PRICE INCREASE. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

 

You may have heard that Amazon's KDP is going to raise prices due to increases in production costs at the end of the month. All of my BEN Books releases use KDP's print on demand. I don't know how this will impact the price of my books, but it's possible it might. Sadly, price increases like this are out of my control. I plan to hold out as long as I can on changing prices, but if you've been on the fence, now might be a good time to place your order. 

Please check out my books at www.ben-books.com or on my Amazon author page at www.amazon.com/author/bobbynash

Thanks for your support and understanding.

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

  

As a writer, I get this question a lot. I don't mind because it means the person asking is genuinely curious. Then there are moments where the question sparks something interesting.

I generally store plot points, scenes, and ideas in my head (sometimes on the laptop). I don't always know what story or character they fit with and sometimes they don't fit any, but they're in there. I was talking with my chiropractor today (I tweaked my back earlier this week and needed an adjustment) and the the notion of where ideas come from came up. I mentioned that the third Tom Myers Mystery will open with a scene based on a real event that happened not far from where I live. That scene is the catalyst that kicks off the story.

I also mentioned a plot that's been percolating for about five years now based on some news reports I heard about seemingly unrelated murders, but not so out there to see how they could be. I tucked the idea away. Not sure when or where, or if, I would use it.

On the drive home, my brain kept replaying that particular plot until I realized that is wasn't it's own separate plot, but part of a plot for a novel I'm just starting to put together. Once I realized the connection, the story exploded.

And this is why I love my job.

This is the magic of writing.

In the latest installment of Sean Taylor's writer's roundtable we’re going to pull out the red letters for bibles… No, not that kind — Story Bibles!

This week, we talk about series bibles (or story bibles, as I’ve also heard them called). What goes into an effective and efficient story bible? https://www.bloggow.com/b/2021/09/14/creating-effective-story-bibles

Featuring Bobby Nash, Aaron Rosenberg, Andy Fix, Gordon Dymowski, John L. Taylor, John Morgan 'Bat' Neal, Nik Stanosheck, John Pence, and Sean Taylor as the Ever-Lovin' Brown-Eyed Writer Thing!
