Today I'm excited to announce that GHOST PLANET, originally published in 2012, has been re-released in Kindle format. It has a gorgeous new cover and lower price. In fact, for a very limited time (until Sept. 23) it's available for 99 cents. This is a book close to my heart because:- It was my debut, and my first professional fiction sale.
- It's the reason I met Laurie, our Spacefreighters founder. (And Donna, shortly thereafter.)
- It was a pick of the month for Felicia Day's Vaginal Fantasy Book Club.
- It got two RWA Golden Heart nominations and a RITA nomination for best first book.
This is the second of my sci-fi romance titles that my agency and I have transitioned from traditionally published to indie published. (The first was THE OPHELIA PROPHECY back in July.)
I loved Tor's original cover for GHOST PLANET and was sad to give it up, but Danielle Fine did an amazing job on the new version. I like that it's clear this is a romance, and I love the foreboding backdrop. And that expression on the hero is just SO Murphy.
Today is a soft launch, as the official date is Sept 19, to coincide with an upcoming sci-fi romance promo featuring more than 60 books either free or priced at 99 cents. I'm also still tweaking categories on Amazon, getting reviews linked up, and getting it added to Goodreads.
The novel is coming up on its fourth birthday (Oct. 30), and I'm excited to see it get a makeover. If you haven't read it, be sure not to miss the 99-cent window!
Many congrats on the re-launch, Sharon! The Golden Heart and RITA nomination speak to what a great SFR this book is. And wow, what a super price in that sale!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie!
DeleteSounds different. Intriguing. I one-clicked.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cara! I hope you enjoy!
DeleteLovely! Will Ghost Planet be available via any other retailers?
ReplyDeleteCurrently it's Kindle exclusive on the recommendation of my agency. But eventually we will re-release in other formats! I may make some ARCs available in epub or PDF for reviews!
DeleteBest wishes with the re-release, love the cover!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica! Me too - Danielle did a fabulous job.
DeleteLOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteNo photo or last name - mystery woman! But I have only ever known one Darynda. :D Thanks so much for dropping by, and glad you like it! The original cover was beautiful, but this one is also HOT.
DeleteLooks awesome, Sharon! Best of luck with the re-launch, sounds like you're firing on all thrusters!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna! I'm about to leave the day job, too, so am excited to get time to finish another book! (And to breath. Because breathing is important.)
DeleteSharon - only ninety-nine cents for such a HUGELY entertaining novel? I'm going to click to supplement my print copy! And I am going to tell all my friends! I do like the new cover. May you sell many books!
ReplyDelete:D Aw, thank you, Riley!
