A Diamond in my Pocket is a free e-book that has had over 140,000 downloads with over 1300 reviews and an average review rating of 4.5 out of 5. It’s a popular series in the Young Adult Fantasy genre. Lorena Angell is the author of A Diamond in my Pocket and has launched a kickstarter campaign to cover the editing and printing costs of her first book in a series of four books. All four books in her series have accomplished the Amazon bestseller status and are popular among Kindle and Nook readers. A Diamond in my Pocket is also an International Amazon Bestseller. Having the books in print will open up an entire market that will propel Lorena’s books to millions of readers.
Lorena has given this e-book for free to introduce her writing to the world of young adult fantasy readers. It’s important to her that it remain free, but it also makes it difficult to generate funds for editing and printing. She has had many readers ask when printed versions will be available. Some of these readers simply want to share the books with friends who don’t have reading devices, but other readers are educators, librarians and parents who love the life lessons taught in Lorena’s books. They feel the series should be a part of the Accelerated Reader program and the Scholastic Book Club. If this series can reach those goals, Lorena can get the publicity she needs to share her writing with many others.
Lorena has a goal to send 100 copies of her book series to school libraries in Southeastern Idaho and Portland, Oregon. She feels this would be the best way to achieve her goals of ranking well enough to get references for the Accelerated Reader Program and the Scholastic Book Club. Lorena is currently discussing movie options with a movie producer that found her books through Barnes and Noble. He is interested in the unique aspect of her series and is impressed with the reviews from her fan base. He wants to see how well the public accepts the printed books before making decisions.
