Description
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS. ONE SHARED DREAM
Welcome to Novo: Your new home in Space
For Ariana Skyee, Planet Novo was everything it promised to be until the authorities introduced "The Calling" as their response to repopulation. Now, all seventeen-year-olds are to participate in thisBachelor-style pageant to find their perfect match, marry, and have children.
But that's not Ariana's only concern. Thanks to the government-sanctioned memory erase, Ariana has no recollection of Zane, the mystery boy who haunts her dreams. Things are further complicated when the pageant commences and her feelings for fellow Cadet Cal Remus intensify. Together, they start to realize not everything about their new home is not as it seems.
Entangled in a dangerous web of deceit, Ariana sets out to identify the truth. Conflicted over warnings that Cal isn't trustworthy and alarmed at the government's increasing interest in her, she doesn't know where to turn. But her search for the truth comes at a high personal price. When her world implodes, discovering the past shapes her future with devastating consequences.

Marketing Information
2016 Marketing Objective:
1. 80,000 sales of True Calling
2. 20,000 sales of other books in the series
3. Add 10,000 new subscribers to mailing list
My marketing plan includes:
Ongoing promo of True Calling continues as my magnet book, and the novel that draws people to my fully completed series.
True Calling was a Bookbub featured book on 29th August 2015 and it generated 40K in downloads in the six week period after the promo, and generated 4K in paid sales of all other books in the same period. Sales and downloads remain at a decent consistent level to date. In 2016 I plan to grow this further.
I've promoted extensively using all the following methods:
- Blog events - tours, cover reveals, interviews, blitzs.
- Featured on promotional sites like FreeBooksy, EReaderNews etc.
- The book is available on Wattpad to try to engage the largely teenage audience.
- Active management of ARC/Review list to grow the reviews on all sites.
- Use of Netgalley to generate reviews, enhance discoverability, and build my ARC list.
- Keyword maximization on Amazon.
- Goodreads Giveaways.
- Goodreads R4R/R2R participation.
- Huge focus in 2016 to grow author subscriber list.
- Huge focus in 2016 on targetted advertising using Facebook, Twitter and Google ads.
My marketing and promotional plan is a work in progress that will be maintained and developed on a daily basis.
As the market changes, I need to stay abreast of developments so I'm constantly growing my audience and my sales. I follow a lot of blogs for authors (e.g. Joanna Penn) to ensure I'm kept updated.
With that aim in mind, I am currently participating in two highly reputable online marketing courses for authors - myfirst10kreaders.com and selfpublishingformula.com Both courses are run by highly successful Indie authors Nick Stephenson and Mark Dawson.
My main focus in Q1 of 2016 is to apply the learning from both courses, as well as continuing to write the next few books in my Saven series.
