New Audio Releases from J.R. Rain

One Acre Audio Books is proud to present two new audio releases from J.R. Rain!

Dark Horse

When high school student Derrick Booker, the only black student at a posh Orange County high school, is accused of killing his white girlfriend, ex-college football hero and detective Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper into the murder.

It doesn't take long for Knighthorse to realize that not all is as it seems at tranquil Huntington High, from a band director who preys on the innocent to a vice-principal with a secret agenda of her own. Not to mention someone's hired a professional killer to keep Knighthorse permanently off the case.

As the investigation continues, Knighthorse's personal life is shattered by the discovery of new evidence relating to his mother's unsolved murder, a murder dating back 20 years. Reeling from the discovery, a determined Jim Knighthorse sets out to bring two killers to justice.

The Mummy Case

Private investigator Jim Knighthorse (from Dark Horse) takes on a very, very cold case. When historian Willie Clarke dies of mysteriously of dehydration in the California deserts, ex-football hero Jim Knighthorse is hired to dig a little deeper - and discovers a shocking connection to one of the West's oldest mysteries.

 Over a hundred years ago, an unnamed cowboy was murdered in the California desert and, due to freak weather conditions, would become mummified within 24 hours. Now known to the world as Sylvester the Mummy and displayed in a creepy curiosity shop, Sylvester and historian Willie Clarke will be forever linked in mystery.

That is, unless private investigator Jim Knighthorse can survive long enough to untangle one of the West's greatest unsolved murders.

Making Money with the Kindle

Many writers are excited by the possibilities of self-publishing on the Kindle, but what's the best way to go about it? A new platform demands a new strategy.

Unless you are an established author with a following, consider starting with novellas rather than full-length novels. Price them at 99 cents and make sure your cover art is professional and eye-catching.

Not ready to give up on your characters after only 20,000 to 30,000 words? Tell your story in episodes - 20,000 to 30,000 words per episode - and market them as a series clearly in your product descriptions.

Why should you aim at low-priced short books? 99 cent titles sell very well on the Kindle, and they sell consistently, too. If your book is a good one it will sell consistently month after month.

If you write a series, you can always bundle them together later and sell the combined series for a higher price.

99 cent short novellas with catchy titles and great covers are a terrific way to test the waters with the Kindle.
