The SPLASH! box set is a limited time offer, and its expiry date will be determined by the group. I'm looking to write more novellas that are connected to my series books. His Perfect Catch in SPLASH! is my seventh release in sixteen months and I don't have any definite plans for book releases in 2016. I have too many stories in my head and not enough time to actually write them, lol :) Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-5776111719445072942015-06-22T16:34:23.925+10:002015-06-22T16:34:23.925+10:00Hi Jeanette, All the individual novellas will be a...Hi Jeanette, All the individual novellas will be available for sale as standalone titles, starting from next month. SPLASH! is different to many of the other box sets available for purchase because the novellas are all original titles that have not yet been released in any other format. <br /><br />Collections and anthologies are interchangeable terms in many respects. I tend to think non-fiction for anthologies, but that's not always the case. A typical anthology probably has a closer theme or inter-book connection than what you'll find with SPLASH! A box set collection is a better description for SPLASH! Nearly all of the SPLASH! novellas are connected to the author's individual series rather than being strongly connected to each other. <br /><br />Stay tuned because I have three posts lined up, starting next Monday, that will detail the nitty gritty of how to put together an indie box set.

I love the title and it has worked well from a marketing perspective. We've had a lot of fun using the cover art theme for various online promos and I love the red gumboots :) Thanks for your encouraging words and I hope you'll enjoy reading the SPLASH! novellas.

I remember when one came out the end of last year with Love inspired authors they had a party also and it helped introduce readers to the different authors. As you said its great to get to know new authors at a cheap price.

I guess the difference from an anthology is that you can also sell your novella's individually as well. I was wondering about the nitty gritty of how you split the profits between the different authors - for instance, does one person deal with Amazon & splits the money or does Amazon do that? All the best with the promotion and growing your readership.Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-89284951784199648462015-06-22T13:47:10.676+10:002015-06-22T13:47:10.676+10:00Hi Iola, Yes, I totally understand the 'too ma...Hi Iola, Yes, I totally understand the 'too many books, too little time' dilemma :) Thanks for reading and reviewing SPLASH!

They can take off and open opportunities with different audiences and make connections with other authors. Good luck with your effort, Narelle.Terry W.
