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.

| Amazon $.99 |
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.

Boxed sets are wonderful to have. I must admit that they appeal to me more than just the individual books can. This is especially so for series.

I love boxed sets. When I find an author and/or characters that I love, I want to instantly move onto the next book. Box sets are so convenient and look pretty on the bookshelf.
