Book Soundtracks

Anyone who's been following me probably already knows this, but I love music. LOVE music.

Growing up, my mother listened to Bob Marley (and the Wailers), Peter Tosh, Toots & The Maytals, Burning Spear, Mighty Sparrow, The Beatles, The Doors, Michael Jackson, Bowie… My dad listened to The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Beach Boys, Billy Joel and sooo much more. The radio or the record player was always on when I was a kid, and it still is. It's rare to see me without a pair of headphones on. And I like all sorts of music. Believe me, you don't want to know how much I spend on music and concerts a year ;)

So, it's no surprise that I when I write, a soundtrack forms in my head, and thanks to services like Apple Music and YouTube, I can share them with you.

A HUGE thank you to Christina for setting up the soundtracks in Spotify ❤️

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

Questions? Contact Me!

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
