It has been an
extremely busy last five months here at the Countdown
MysteriesTM.
I have published another two exciting mystery stories, and I cannot wait
for children everywhere to enjoy reading these great new stories.
Until now, my books have been sold only on Amazon websites. For some of my readers around the world the shipping costs when buying my books from these websites have been just too high, and for readers living in China the books weren’t even available at all on their Amazon website. As an author I wanted to do something about these issues, so I decided to have a stock of my books here with me in Asia. This way my readers would then have the choice of buying the books from Amazon or directly from me through the Online Store on my website, where they can take advantage of the much lower shipping costs and discount prices.
As some of you will know, I ran a crowd funding campaign for five weeks earlier this year in what was a very busy September and October. The purpose of the campaign was to raise funds to enable me to have a large quantity of my books printed, and so create a stock of books I could make available from my website’s online store and also share with children during visits to schools.
I am delighted to say that the
contributors to my crowd funding campaign helped me raise sufficient funds
to have a stock of my books printed and these have now been shipped to me
here in Asia. I am excited to say that as of today, you can now visit my online
store and get your hands on the four books in the Countdown MysteriesTM series,
along with two fantastic, new colouring activity books to accompany the first
two books in the series.
I am extremely excited about what 2016 will bring. I am hoping to organise more school visits so I can meet more and more children and share my passion for writing with them. Of course, I will also be spending lots of time doing what I love to do - writing, and will have some great new mysteries for release during the next year.
I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for your support and to the children out there for reading my books.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Best wishes,
Jonathan Camm
