Have a couple of our Six-Packs and Quench your Thirst for Horror/Fear

Wow - what a wonderful adventure it was working on the 'Six-Pack' series with my dear friend and co-author, Betty Dravis. Betty has three terrorizing stories included in our latest book, Six-Pack of Fear - Saving the GPS Lady, The Snack, and Switching Genres. I can assure you won't be disappointed. My contribution to Fear - Devil House, A Scandalous Night in Vegas, and The Stranger.

The reader will find gold dust sprinkled throughout both books in this series. We were blessed to have some of the most talented individuals in the entertainment industry contribute their time in writing forewords, testimonials, creating illustrations, and book covers.

Betty and I recently made the decision to drop the price of our 'Six-Pack' series from $2.99 to $0.99 in order to make it affordable for everyone. We invite you to read the reviews; listen to word of mouth and then download our series of Horror/Fear and decide for yourself.

Review of 'Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman'


Title: Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman (A Collection of Short Stories and Poetry on Life, Loss, Love and Longing)

Author: Ashley Fontainne
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services
Print Length: 81 pages
ASIN# B007Z1IGJO

Breathtaking Poetry – Fear-Provoking Stories with Suspenseful Tales Wrapped Around Human Emotions!

Ms. Fontainne (aka, Princess of Suspense) in her writings has a stupendous ability to reach down into your gut – to draw up the deepest emotions from your inner soul…emotions of love, empathy, fear, and revenge. Not afraid to proclaim her religious values, she inserts her loving spirit into a story creating emotional rapture… ‘How 9/11 Saved My Dad’ and ‘Who is Michael?’ come to mind.

When writing tales that involve revenge surrounded by suspense, Ms. Fontainne spares no mercy for the antagonist, as you will witness in ‘Stained Concrete’. With her short story, ‘Death By Shadow’ she manages to stir up terrifying childhood nightmares to which there is no escape. In ’Smoldering Ashes’, the author delivers a fierce tale of pain and torment followed by redemption that ‘one’ will not soon forget.

Ms Fontainne’s poetry is like experiencing a fine wine with an exquisite meal. Her words will take the reader on a journey through their darkest days of melancholy, and then release them into a world of spirited bliss.

‘Ramblings of a Mad Southern Woman’ is a powerful, and emotional voyage – a golden ticket from the award winning writer, ‘Ashley Fontainne’.

To Tag or Not Tag To Like or Not Like – That is The Question

The discussion of whether tagging and liking ‘ones’ product page effectively boosts sales is an important topic. As an author with a handful of books available on Amazon, I am endlessly exploring profitable avenues.

Tagging is labeling something in order to enhance your odds of others finding it. There are those that disagree with this method. Let us look at how this works. You are sitting at your computer just browsing around on Amazon, and decide that you want to look for a book such as “how to write a paranormal thriller,” how does Amazon determine what to offer up? This is where the tagging comes into play. Placing organized tags to your book that are related to the subject greatly enhances your books odds of being found. When others agree with your tags and check the appropriate boxes – the books probability of ranking higher is significant. No one is going to purchase your book if they cannot find it!

Even when writing an article such as this – the process of tagging is essential in order for my editorial to gain exposure.

Don’t just take my word that tagging and liking on your book product page is important. Read what International Best-selling Author, Vincent Zandri has to say about the process on his blog – The Vincent Zandri Vox.

So tweet, network on Facebook, promote your websites and blog, – use every source available in order to bring attention to your literary works…tag, tag, tag.
