I came online today to find the website and was disappointed it was gone. I think you should bring it back as your books in this series are still going strong. Just my two cents.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768901901364467835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1162713733756183722006-11-05T03:02:00.000-05:002006-11-05T03:02:00.000-05:00Lynn,It's a beautifully done website so I'll be sa...Lynn,<BR/><BR/>It's a beautifully done website so I'll be sad to see it go too...visited it once more!

Goodbye to the Darkyn website--it was purdy.<BR/><BR/>That's a darned good business practice about setting aside a portion of the advance for self-promo. I'll have to write that one down. It's great to see that the site earned out the investment you put into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1162656279635649192006-11-04T11:04:00.000-05:002006-11-04T11:04:00.000-05:00Missy, I appreciate your candor.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.<BR/><BR/>Jane wrote: <I>I hope this doesn't mean that it is the end of the series? Why are you taking it down?</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, no, the series isn't over. I have two more books in the works, and my editor has already indicated that the publisher would like more.<BR/><BR/>For every book I write, I work from a self-promo budget based on a set percentage of my advance. This is so that I can do what I can for each book without spending more than I'm earning. <BR/><BR/>In order to create the Darkyn web site, do the original press release mailout and other related self-promo, I had to use the self-promo budget for the entire series plus rainy day funds that I've been putting aside for years. I literally spent every self-promo penny I had to promote Darkyn, but from the beginning I also put a firm cap on that investment so that I would not be tempted to go into debt to sustain the self-promo.<BR/><BR/>The self-promo won't come to a complete halt, either. There are still things I can do that don't cost me anything, like writing the <I>Midnight Blues</I> e-book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-1162655870534229422006-11-04T10:57:00.000-05:002006-11-04T10:57:00.000-05:00I hope you keep the PBW blog, Lynn.

Sorry, I had to say it. I love your books so much that I want to know what't coming next, who are all the different people, so your website left me extremely frustrated!
