Sweet Tarts and High Heels

This short story has a history as long as the story itself.  And I won't bother you with it.

The main character, Tierney Reed, has had a complicated and troubled life and winds up in Los Angeles and uses the skillset she has.

If I was a smart marketing girl I would do a haircut on 50 Shades, I would throw in a couple scenes with whips and shackles and have Tierney wind up being the recipient of fame and fortune by the end.  But I think you know me better than that.

We were talking about loglines a couple days ago and here's the one for Sweet Tarts.

Will a Beverly Hills call girl tell the truth about her life?  If it’s Tierney Reed, you bet.  But duck when the bullets start flying.

Here's the description

"Noel Adrian, Ph.D. wants to know how young and beautiful women become escorts in Beverly Hills. Of course, they meet Miss Doucette and are recruited. The money is great, the lifestyle moving among the rich, powerful and attractive is even better. But as a sociologist, Dr. Adrian wants the oral history for a clinical study.

Tierney has no reluctance to sharing her story. She’s not proud of her life but she’s not embarrassed either. Her new world is much like her old one but now she’s not scraping by and she knows how to punch back. But the past is more difficult to shake off than it looks and under pressure, Tierney reverts to what she knows best. Will this time be any different."

I tweaked the cover a bit  and may again try with the text but this is what's live now.

Fly Away Freebie.  Well under 1000 downloads although it was the the top 100 contemporary romance for long enough for me to lose count.  Not impressive numbers at all.  I have no explanation, and surmissions would be factless things.  

FA came with excerpts of Not Low Maintenance and Unspeakably Desirable and overnight 2 copies of NLM sold.  I'd say nothing published now should be without an excerpt to something else.  You're losing the only billboard you have if you don't.

Then you take the logline and the Amazon address of the book and you go around Facebook and post on all the pages which allows promoing of indie kindle content.  Like this.  FB will go to Amazon and bring back the cover and the description.  But you need the logline to catch attention.
