Are the readers buying Mixed Sets?

This month I have released a new boxed set called
Mimi’s Mix. I selected a story from each of my three series’ – books that
haven’t reached as many readers as I would like. I chose Partners from
the Vegas Series, His Devious Angel a full-length from the Angels with Attitudes Series and one of
my novellas called He’s Her from the Vicarage Bench Series. I put the three into a boxed set and crossed
my fingers.

This isn’t my first boxed set; I’d made another just
before Christmas. In that case I took the three novellas from The Vicarage Bench Series, which hardly
got any attention at all, and put them all together. Much to my surprise, the
set has sold wonderfully. Of course the fact that I’ve priced it at $.99 might
have made the difference. (Ya think?) And I did hesitate to price it so low. Until I realized that the combined word count was less than many single title novels.

Each of the novellas in the anthology was
singularly priced at $.99 and still are. Therefore, you would think a fair price
would be $2.99 which is an acceptable price for three separate stories. But
after the set came off a promotion and took off, I just couldn’t put the price
back up. The sales now have justified me keeping the price low and giving the
readers a treat.

Not to mention that those book have reached
thousands of more readers who hopefully will like my writing and search out my
other work. I consider it a win-win situation.
