Rent-a-book.

 Because I know a lot of readers enjoy books they rent to read via KU, I decided to add my romantic, suspense contemporaries to that list. To do that I had to make sure they were not widely distributed, which takes a bit (some wide spots also allow renting them but Amazon's rules for KU is they just all be exclusive for independent writers, like myself.

I don't know how to advertise they are there; but if you use Kindle Unlimited, here are the titles. They rent for free but it does take a paid, monthly membership.

As usual, you can click on the link of the title to read its blurb and a free sample.

These books are all full length novels of at least 80,000 words. They  were written in the 90s, updated and reedited recently. Some have strong, connecting characters like Moon Dust and Second Chance, but none related by family, more interests and caring. I brought them out in 2012 when they had sales, but none recently. That has led me to think maybe renting is the way to get readers, but where it comes to marketing, who knows. They are also listed in my website. I have other contemporaries but these fit together. Without knowing much about KU, this is an experiment. All the rest of my books are wide-- well, not the fantasy contemporaries, but not sure yet what to do with those. The joys of writing, when it reaches the marketing stage... Writers want others to find and read their books and therein lies the mystery.
