What? A Contest? Win a Free Amazon Kindle!


Wowzers. The new year has started off in a great way! We've sold more titles here at The Trashy Novel Corp than we thought we would. Sales are up and it has contributed a little bit to our advertising budget so you might be seeing some ads on Facebook, just to get the Brand Identity out there. You can click all you want. We are paying for impressions. What else is going on?

I just realized that Amanda has maybe been working at a Youth Hostel in Berlin for over a year. We would love to get the rights to that story.

Also we have started a contest. It's a race to get to a Million Followers on Twitter. You can subscribe to our Twitter feed on the blog here. It's up there with the poll. So yea, the contest is: We are GIVING AWAY a KINDLE once we hit a Million Followers. Kinda a long way to go, only being that I can't get over the 140 Mark. Keep gaining and losing.

Great Tag lines so far:
Save a Tree ~ Read an Ebook, Damn it!
Un~Plug, Tune~in and read a Kindle!

Official guidelines to the contest are available here: Official Rules

So let's have at it you crazy online kids from Berlin. Follow my tweets and good luck. The book industry is changing rapidly and you can stay up to the MINUTE with my help.

Missouri or New Mexico?


Hello Eager Readers.

I've tried unsuccessfully to buy 2 motels. One was in Missouri. A 10 room property in the ozarks that pulls in 100K a year. Needed 50K to kickstart that one. Nobody has it.

Then there is the place in Aztec, New Mexico and the owner says he might go down to the bank with me and sign a note on it for a down payment for the property and that's just what I might do. I don't have any money to put anything down, so I gotta go with the flow.

I'm reading this book on how to make some dough, and they talk about opening a hotel.

Can't wait to get this one started. I've got my fearless friends to thank also. Happy Holidays everyone and also don't forget that it's Festivus. That strange holiday where all you need to do is set up a metal pole, air your grievences and show a feat of strength. That's a fun Holiday. Festivus is always on the 23rd of December. Some might even call it the 10th day of Christmas.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!

November? What happened?



Get ready for the Holidays folks! Although It's still a little early for your Christmas tree, you can still get out there and go crazy on Thanksgiving stuff. This post brings up the question: When is a good time to buy a Christmas tree? A good tree that's properly watered can last 4 weeks. You shouldn't be looking at a tree until December. Of course you can always head on out and decorate a small neighborhood tree. If you're out in the desert, maybe you can decorate a cactus.
Happy Holidays to Berlin!!

Get ready for Halloween

A day at the studio.
Ash freaks out.
Max freaks out.
Heather freaks out.

I try to get some people to do something. We try to do some other stuff.

They are doing nothing?!?
Secrets.

There are Secrets and bets have been made that in 2 weeks the studio will shut down. I think it might.

Good Morning Los Angeles

Getting things up and running at an E-publishing house is no small task, but it's going pretty smooth. Building my database of customers and building my brand identity and it's all so tiring. So many good titles, but only the non-fiction has had a breakout. The bulk of books here are fiction.

Ciao Ciao. Look in the coming weeks for pictures from Italy on here.

Ciao.
