For Readers
Ever since I was a child I have had a little of what people call second sight, weird dreams that later come true and some non-explainable premonitions. This made me fascinated by the power of the mind, so I decided to make my latest heroine learn how to hypnotize people in order to save herself. I interviewed a hypnotist to make her powers realistic, and I think this gave my latest Scottish Historical Romance, Protector of the Highlands, an interesting twist.
For writers
I self-published my first book in June of 2013 and was lucky enough to have it and my subsequent releases hit Amazon’s Top 100 Bestsellers’ List. I have published nine books since then. Eight in my Highland Legends series, and one crazy Time Travel Murder Mystery, which I loved, but no one bought. Bottom line is I still haven’t figured out what can make one a magical moneymaker and another have lack luster sales. Every time I do a release, I try to create interest in the book on my social media platforms, do paid advertising, and book signings. Recently, advertising my back list on Amazon has created increased sales across the series. You can do this if your book is Amazon exclusive.

Have you ever been hypnotized or witnessed someone being hypnotized? Have you visited anywhere in the British Isles? Do you have any marketing advice to add to what Connie shared? Don't you love that book cover?

I have never been hypnotized, but I definitely believe in second sight. Something things just can't be coincidences!
Congratulations, Connie. No, we certainly can't tell what will be a hit and what won't.
Congrats on the Highland Legends series. More books sell more books.
Second sight sure can be trippy. Good to know the amazon ads work.
The idea of being hypnotized rather scares me, but i do like the idea of using it on someone else to escape. That is a really interesting twist to weave into a plot!
That is great you had success on Amazon with your self published book back in 2013. If I ever got hypnotized and I doubt I would, it would be to help me lose weight though I was able to do that successfully (dropping 50 pounds last year, still maintaining) on my own with healthy diet and lifestyle.
To continued successes in your writing!
