I self-published my first book in 2014. I thought it was good. I was wrong.
I didn’t know it then, but I’d broken just about every writing rule there is.
To anyone who purchased Fireworks, my apologies. And thank you. Thank you for taking a chance on a newbie author and for giving me hope that maybe, just maybe, I could do this.
Five years on, and I’ve learned a bit. Not everything, not by a long shot, but enough to take a stab at fixing the mistakes I made the first time around.

So, here it is, the new and improved—I hope—version of that first attempt: Daniel Mine.
I really loved it the first time around, and I am enjoying the new version too. Of course, to me, reading is about connecting with the characters, not rules.

Thanks, Stephanie for seeing past what one reviewer called a “mess” to the story behind it. A double thank you for checking out the new version 🙂

I bought and read Fireworks. I liked it. I notice you can buy a copy at Amazon for a mere $752.50. That’s not a typo.

Thanks, Brian.
I know. Crazy. I’ve retired the book, so you can’t get a digital copy anymore, but for some reason Amazon doesn’t take the paperback off their site. They just blow the price up to ridiculous. Strange.

I reviewed this book first time around and loved reading it. Good luck with the relaunch, Aimer. Are you going to market it differently, too? I hope you’ll share with us what you do differently. I know many of us Indie authors would like to find out how to get more book sales.

Sitting in the same boat here, Hugh. My idea of marketing is this post so basically, Daniel Mine is a well kept secret between me and Amazon 🙂

I agree that reading is about connecting with the characters…and the author. Best wishes for a successful relaunch!
