Name That Collection!

So I have some downtime between book projects and decided to compile a short story/flash fiction anthology together. While I was looking through my shorts, I realized most were written when I was a teenager. So I plan on compiling together all the work that I wrote when I was teen and publish it. And trust me, the writing is vastly different from the mythological YA fantasy that I’m writing right now. Most of the work is contemporary. There’s some really silly stuff (like a flash fiction about a dog) and then there’s some really serious stuff (like a flash fiction about a husband meeting the man who was sleeping with his wife).

I need your help though! I have no idea what to name this collection. So please vote for the title that you like best and if you leave a comment stating you voted, you’ll get a chance to win the printed version of this collection. That’s a big deal, considering I plan on making this electronic only. And I’ll also throw in some extra short stories that won’t be in the electronic version (like the short story I wrote that I plan on turning into my next novel project). You want to win this. The only other time you’ll get a chance to win it is on May 20 when I do a big giveaway at the end of my blog tour.

And this is an international giveaway.

Edit: Forgot to mention this ends midnight on May 14.

The giveaway is now closed. Thanks for participating everyone!!

The Chosen + KDP Select

I really despise what Amazon is doing with this KDP Select thing. However, I do realize that since KDP Select, my sales for The Chosen have taken a major nosedive. Therefore, as an experiment I’m going to enter it into the program to see if it can help bring new life to the novel. I’ve already pulled it up from Smashwords (which was heartbreaking) so Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iTunes, etc. should all be pulling it from their shelves in the weeks to follow.

And so my love-hate relationship with Amazon continues…
