Comments on: Et tu, Brute? http://guidohenkel.com/2011/03/et-tu-brute/ Welcome to the world of writer and game designer Guido Henkel Tue, 21 May 2013 07:47:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 By: Larissa Lyons http://guidohenkel.com/2011/03/et-tu-brute/#comment-638 Larissa Lyons Mon, 04 Apr 2011 00:37:28 +0000 http://guidohenkel.com/?p=509#comment-638 Konrath's blog (which I discovered, ironically, within 2 days of your post) Not a horror fan at all. Don't read mysteries either. However, as Regency Romance is my favorite genre (both to read & write in) and now that I've seen mention of Victorian England and, especially, another commenter mentioning less horror, more paranormal Sherlock Holmes with regards to your stories, I will be HAPPY to give your book a try. (& Buy!) Lastly, I agree--the new covers are sensational. And price...it's super easy to try a new author at .99. I prefer novellas over longer works (even with my favorite NY authors) and think $1.99 not unreasonable for stories in the 20-30K range, and $2.99 okay when stories exceed 35K. Best of luck with the changes...I hope they bring you many more readers! Konrath’s blog (which I discovered, ironically, within 2 days of your post)

Haven't bought any of your books because I'm not a horror fan, but I have (and will continue to) recommend you to friends looking for another horror author to follow. Wishing you great success!

The only outlet that has weird territory restrictions is Apple, as far as I can think of. All other outlets have worldwide distribution enabled - or at least should have...

AND was told that the title is not available in the "Asia & Pacific" region. :( Hi Guido!

Since you are remaking all of your book covers, I thought that your movie book trailers could also stand a make over.

I could not find an e-mail address for you so I’m going to have to put the information here.

Guido, you write well and clearly, and know your stuff about self-publishing, format conversion, etc. Have you considered writing a "Step-to-step Guide to e-Publishing" or "The e-Publishing Bible". I bet it would sell rather well. At the very least, you're a known name to the people interested in the subject. Best wishes, Carlos Hello again.

I read Demon's Night and enjoyed it. This might come from my inexperience with reading Horror, but as I read it, I felt like I was reading a paranormal version of a Sherlock Holmes story rather than a horror story. This is what really hooked me, because that's a genre I do enjoy. As such, I added a paranormal tag to the Amazon listing. Feel free to contact me; I want to get your opinion on this before I write a review or any FB mentions/tweets. Hi, again, Guido. I read Demon’s Night and enjoyed it.
