UPDATE!

Hey friends, I received this comment from someone:

November 7, 2019 at 12:37 pm Your links never work.”

 

my reply:

I can’t believe I have to say this over and over, sorry to sound like a broken record, but in case you have this problem, here’s my reply that explains it all!

“Hello, my links work perfectly, I just checked each of them. Sorry to hear you have a problem. This could be due to certain settings in your computer, such as adblocker. It could also possibly be because of insidious shadow banning of my work by google and other engines out there. That I have no control over. I recommend turning off your adblocker or similar security devices you may have and see if it works.

When all else fails, just type in LadaRay.com and you will go directly to my site. From thereon you can find all my other links!

Or copy and paste my urls:

Official site: http://www.ladaray.com/

author site: http://ladaray.weebly.com/

It’s very easy really – best of luck and blessings!

Lada”

Hello, friends!

In the past several days I have received multiple questions asking where one can find my books.

‘Hello, 
I am having issues checking out your site. I cannot find any information pertaining to your book. I hope you can offer me some help. Sorry to bother you.’

Actually, my books are rather easy to find by going to Amazon and other online retailers. And information/links are readily available on my blog and sites. Below, I’ll give you a roadmap to make your search even easier! And many thanks for your interest!

WHERE TO FIND BOOKS BY LADA RAY

Take your pick or explore all!

1

AUTHOR SITE

The simplest is to go to my AUTHOR SITE and explore the HOME page, which contains relevant links.

Or go to BOOKSTORE page and scroll down to the books you want!

**Incidentally, my AUTHOR SITE has been re-designed and it looks great! Check it out!

2

LATEST BOOK: GEOPOLITICAL QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS

Go to LadaRay.com – scroll down below ‘FEATURED’ on HOME page and click on any of the links below you want to view:

GEOPOLITICAL QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS

Buy on Amazon    All Buy Links

Description      Excerpt     Reviews

Or click on 3-novel image under ‘Books by Lada Ray sold worldwide’.

3

FUTURISTRENDCAST

Go to my blog https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/

Scroll down below ‘Recent Posts’ to find tabs BOOKS and VISIT AUTHOR SITE. Click on either and explore! Buy links are located there!

4

Visit Amazon’s Lada Ray Page – my books are all listed there, except the latest (it’ll be added later)!

5

BY COUNTRY

I recently received this comment on FT:

AHhhh 😦 !!! Lady Lada, Why your Books are not available in Amazon India!?

ANSWER:

Dear friend,

My books are sold worldwide. Many links to specific countries are listed on BOOKSTORE page. But not all.

If you want to find my book in your country, go to Amazon OF YOUR COUNTRY (!) and type in the title of book and my name, Lada Ray. The book page will come up. If you type in just my name, ALL my books available in your country should come up.

Specifically in answer to the above question. My books ARE available on Amazon India (Amazon.in) in both ebook and paperback formats. Please type in my name and title and it all comes up.

Here’s the link to the Geopolitical Quantum Calibrations book sold in India:

https://www.amazon.in/Geopolitical-Geo-Economic-Quantum-Calibrations-Lada/dp/179795959X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lada+ray+geopolitical+quantum+calibrations&qid=1572024588&s=books&sr=1-1

I’m sure you can find all others the same way! Blessings and thanks for asking!

Lada

In your computer just type in Amazon and your country’s suffix — and your country’s Amazon store will come up. For example for US it’s .com, for UK .co.uk, for France .fr, etc. Then follow instructions above to find my books!

As an example, I’ve typed in Amazon.it for Italy and… presto!  —https://www.amazon.it/.

Amazon has online and brick-and-mortar presence in over 10 major countries worldwide, from where they ship to other regional countries. When in doubt, go a search for the nearest country from which Amazon ships to yours!

TIP: Also, Bookdepository.com will ship to many countries free, but the price will likely be higher.

There are other international retailers listed on my Book Author site!

If you prefer digital format or it’s too hard to ship a paperback to your country!

My Ebooks are available for a fraction of the cost through either Amazon.com or through other majors, such as Kobo and Apple, plus a number of others – see more below!

6

WHERE TO FIND MY EBOOKS

All my non-fiction and fiction, including novels and novelette shorts, are available worldwide as ebooks on Amazon!

In addition to Amazon, my latest book GEOPOLITICAL QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS

is also selling on various ebook platforms, such as Apple, Kobo and more.

I will soon be adding my novels and shorts to these platforms.

Find all ebook sources by clicking on these links: 

24 Symbols
Apple
Hoopla
Kobo
OverDrive
Playster
Scribd
Tolino

 

7

MY NOVELS VS. NOVELETTE SHORTS

My novels are substantial books of between 60,000 and over 100,000 words each.

Novelettes or shorts are much smaller, about 11,000 -12,000 words each. These are fictional stories that are prequels to the novels.

I have 1 series (Jade Snow – Accidental Spy Mysteries) and one novel with companion prequel (may become a series in the future).

Accidental Spy series consists of 

Prequel short: GREEN DESERT

Adventure 1: STEPFORD USA

Adventure 2: GOLD TRAIN

Stand alone prophetic novel 

THE EARTH SHIFTER

with companion/prequel short: CATHARSIS, LEGEND OF THE LEMURIANS

All my novels are sold as both paperbacks and ebooks.

Novelette shorts are currently sold as ebooks only, for a nominal amount of 99 cents US or equivalent in your currency. They can be purchased on Amazon.com (worldwide download).

8

LIBRARY DISTRIBUTION

If you are a librarian or want to buy my paperbacks or ebooks wholesale:

My books are selling through library and other international third party wholesale distribution platforms. You’ll need to contact them or have their online catalog to order my books!

Amazon provides the library purchase access to all my books. So do my other publishing partners. Some of the third party distributors are Baker & Tailor and Bibliotheca.

Baker & Taylor
Bibliotheca

I ask you to write a review for my new book and post it in at least three places (or more, if possible). In exchange, to thank you for your effort and enthusiasm, I will personally sign and mail to you a THANK YOU note on my exclusive author stationary (collectible). And I’ll mail you 3 of my exclusive bookmarks (while supplies last). This is NOT virtual! You will receive a physical envelope with my stationary and bookmarks, and it’s open worldwide! I’ll mail my thank you gifts to you, wherever you are around the globe!

All you have to do is buy my ebook or paperback, read it and write an honest review. The review must be posted at 3 or more retailers listed below. Choose among these preferred places in order of importance (these are direct links to my book):

Amazon.com

INSTRUCTIONS: HOW & WHERE TO POST

Amazon

Frankly, if you bought the book (ebook or paperback) from Amazon, I prefer that you post on Amazon first, as this is the largest market. But Amazon recently changed the rules and now only those who purchased at least $50 of merchandise of any kind for the previous calendar year, can post their reviews. Therefore, I’ve added several other platforms where reviews do matter.

If you purchase from Amazon sometimes or regularly and/or if you spent $50 or more in one year, please post your review on Amazon first.

TIP: If you don’t qualify now, but in the following 11 months after purchasing my book you’ll spend $50 or more on Amazon, you can always copy and add your review later.

It’s most important to post on Amazon.com (main site, US/international distribution), because it’s visible in all international Amazon markets. If you don’t live in the US or purchased the book from a country-specific Amazon site, and if you are able to, it would be great if you alsoreposted your review in your domestic Amazon sites. All Amazon and other sellers’ links are HERE.

Goodreads

Goodreads is not a book distributor. It is a book reader community. It used to be independent, but Amazon bought it several years ago, and some things have changed. The thing that remains the same, thank goodness, is that any reader can post a review there. Unlike on Amazon, on Goodreads you can post reviews freely so far (just sign up and post), so please use this opportunity to add yours, before they decide to make it difficult. Some online sellers don’t allow review posting, and they use Goodreads reviews. A good example is BookDepository, so anyone buying from that seller actually sees Goodreads reviews. My paperbackis also sold on BookDepository.

All my books are listed on Goodreads, so I really appreciate your review posted there as well! (If you’ve written or intend to write reviews for my fiction, please post them there as well, while this venue is available). It’s very easy to post your review, just sign up – NO PURCHASE REQUIRED!

Kobo/Walmart

Kobo is a popular ebook seller, recently purchased by Walmart. Posting reviews is easy: just sign up, copy your review and post. They’ll take a day or two to review your post and if it’s a normal, legitimate review, it’ll go up soon. To post review – NO PURCHASE REQUIRED!

Apple

This is a monopoly. Only those who have Mac computers can purchase books and post reviews on Apple store site. I don’t use Mac – only iPad, and that seems not enough to get in. I don’t know their rules for review posting, but if you own a Mac, I’d appreciate your trying to post a review to see whether it gets accepted without a purchase. Or, if you buy my ebook from Apple iBooks store, I will greatly appreciate your posting a review on my book page!

**I’ll be re-listing my fiction on Apple, Kobo and more as well (very soon)!

Barnes&Noble

The biggest and most popular in the US brick and mortar bookstore/cafe chain. They now also sell online. Also now in the UK. For now my new book is available as an ebook there (read through NOOK). My novels are available as paperbacks on BN.

It’s easy to post on BN: just copy your review from Amazon, etc., and post. NO PURCHASE REQUIRED!

I also have my book listed with various other online retailers, and you can see some of their link icons here:

         

If you could also add your review to some of these, it would be smashing! All you need to do is copy and paste! Also, make sure you post your review in the comment section of FT and LRPatreon. And of course, email the text of your review to me, along with links where it’s posted to reap these rewards:

GIFTS & PERKS FOR REVIEWERS!

GIFTS: To thank my wonderful reviewers, I will mail each of you:

1. A signed Lada Ray Thank You Note, on my exclusive author letterhead (collectible):

View examples of my unique 8.5x11inch Lada Ray letterheads! You get my personally signed THANK YOU note on one of these!

2. Three (while supplies last) exclusive author bookmarks.

View my exclusive fiction bookmarks! (very pretty, reversible and two-sided)

I’ll mail THE ​GIFTS to you personally, to wherever you live around the globe! (PLUS, you get automatically invited to my Virtual Book Signing & Live Q&A!

Besides, my reviewers get priority seating at the upcoming LIVE Q&A AND VIRTUAL BOOK SIGNING (stay tuned for Apr 11 announcement!)

Last but not least! The best reviews, or their excerpts, will be featured on REVIEWS page, and possibly in other venues!

To qualify for the gift and priority seating:

  1. Please post your review in three (or more) of the main venues listed above
  2. Please email me the links to all three (or more) review postings, name under which they are posted, and a copy of your review. Use CONTACT or email directly, if you know my email!
  3. In your email, please provide your full name and address so I can mail you your gift!

**Make sure you save the review you’ve written for possible future postings!

I greatly appreciate your posting the reviews in at least three, or more, of the top venues linked above! The more places we cover, the better potential readers will be able to make a buying decision.

If you know any other booksellers or sites where your review can be posted, I’d love to get the links with your reviews posted elsewhere, too. Your review can also be added to your blog or site, as another example. Please send me all the links – I’d love to hear from you and I’ll try to feature some of the links on my author site!

___________

NOTE!

This special program will run between April 8 and June 8, 2019.

Your Reader reviews can be posted any time, during, before and after this program. But to take advantage of my special signed thank you note and bookmarks mailed to you, please post your review in 3 or more places before June 8!

To be invited to Virtual Book Signings & Live Q&A, please post reviews early! We plan 2 live events and they will be in early to mid May! All those who purchased new book by Lada Ray will be invited, but reviewers get priority seating. Note that space is limited. Only the live event participants can ask Lada questions. Stay tuned for Special Announcement and details on Thursday, April 11!

Move Update, KDP Select and Where to Purchase My Books

Hello, everyone!

I have received some questions about where I’d disappeared lately and whether my books are still a part of #KDPSelect program.

As some of you may know, very recently I have moved my residence, and I am presently settling down. I love the new house; it’s nice, yet substantially smaller than my old one. I am rather happy about that since I don’t have to waste as much time taking care of the property. Instead, I can let my creative juices flow more freely, while concentrating fully on things that matter – namely my various spiritual, creative and life projects that have been blossoming wonderfully.

Read more about that here:

Big Move and Big Plans

For a small part of my exciting plans (more coming!), check out my new page:

Feng Shui

#Indie #Publishing Update: What’s Happening at #Kobo?

29 Tuesday Oct 2013

Posted by Lada Ray in Writing and Publishing

≈ 8 Comments

I have received this informative email from Kobo (read below) and decided to re-post it here for the benefit of all Indie authors. It appears that Kobo Writing Life -the Indie publishing arm of the company – has received bad press in the United Kingdom for allegedly not screening the books they have on sale and therefore violating their own guidelines. As a result, Kobo initiated a massive Indie book removal and inspection. If you publish with Kobo in the UK and were affected by mistake, the email below is straight out of the horse’s mouth and explains Kobo’s position.

I understand the books targeted by this removal are basically hard-core erotica and such. I must say that regardless of the type of books Kobo is presently reviewing, I for one am very happy they are actually taking an interest in addressing some of their problems, which are many. I sincerely hope they become more responsive and more responsible about their Indie publishing service soon.

Although my rant below may seem slightly off topic, but it illustrates vividly Kobo’s desire to jump on the ebook and indie publishing bandwagon, while failing to take their responsibility seriously. The only reason I’m writing this is that I sincerely hope someone at Kobo sees it and finally takes action! Continue reading →

And the Oscar For the Funniest Book Review Goes To…

I recently received this 4 star review for GREEN DESERT (Accidental Spy Iraq Prequel) on Barnes & Noble.

fernweh428 Posted September 28, 2013

I don’t quite know what to make of this book, and I mean that in the best sense. It captures my attention and I will re-read it soon.

This review made me giggle, but it certainly was a giggle meant in the best sense! 😉

I guess I should be flattered that Green Desert captured someone’s attention and made them think. This was my intention you know. So, a funny review – yes; but I’ll take it! Perhaps my ideas and thoughts will be mainstream one day. Like with the 100 Monkeys Theory, it takes only a small percentage of people to shift to a new way of thinking – and acting (!) – in order to create a massive paradigm shift for humanity. 

Till then, I’ll keep dreaming, writing and speaking out…

GREEN DESERT COVER ebookAs Jade Snow, the heroine of Accidental Spy Adventures, said in conclusion of Green Desert, “One day, desert will be a garden again…”

Our beautiful Earth is a garden, not a military battleground! This is the message of Green Desert, and of my other books.

From GREEN DESERT description on Amazon: “The Butterfly Effect with an unexpected twist, this short, but full of action and drama read explores how interconnected we really are in this world.” Ebook is currently available #FREE from Barnes & Noble #Nook, Amazon #Kindle, as well as from other retailers. See all buy links here!

All my books (both paperbacks and ebooks) can now be purchased from multiple sources, including Barnes&Noble, Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, Sony, Apple, etc. Profits from my book sales go to no-kill animal shelter in Upstate NY, USA: Tompkins County SPCA; and to Siberian Tiger rescue project in Russia.

Amazon KDP Select (KDPS) or broad distribution through multiple channels – in other words, to be or not to be. For me, it was a cause of much vacillation for the past year.

Finally, I have happily parted ways with #KDPSelect, not planning to ever return, barring some sort of massive revamping of their system. My books are back to #BN and #Smashwords, and slowly but surely they are also posting on #Kobo, #Sony and #Apple as well. I am also making both CATHARSIS and GREEN DESERT free everywhere, to celebrate this joyous occasion! See My books at a glance + buy links. A separate post is coming soon with direct links to Kobo, BN and Sony. There will be freebies too, so watch for them!

Professional Kindle or Smashwords (pick one) formatting for your upcoming book

Custom designed Flash Banner, a very useful and cool app, which will set apart your website or blog, making it unforgettable

You don’t have to post at all of these places, although I would appreciate as many places as possible. After you’ve posted your review, please send an email with links to Lada(at)LadaRay.com

and/or

2. Leave a comment on this post to earn 1 entry to win.

You can earn up to a maximum of 11 entries to win.

It’s that simple!

Winners will be announced on December 2, 2012. 

Each of the two lucky winners will receive his/her choice of:

1. Professional Kindle or Smashwords formatting for your upcoming book, PLUS free consultation on how to improve your website or blog traffic & visibility!

Mike and Maddy deliver flawless, professionally formatted ebooks/paperbacks. Ever since I started using DWD services for my Kindle, Smashwords and Create Space formatting, I stopped stressing over possible formatting errors. Having delegated this important, but tedious task to pros, I can now fully concentrate on my writing and promotional efforts.

2. Unique, custom designed Vertical Flash Banner App, which will set apart your website or blog, making it unforgettable, PLUS free consultation on how to improve your website traffic and visibility!

Every author/artist/small business owner should have a website and/or blog. It is our online business card that allows us to spread the word about our writing/art/services to people we would’ve never met otherwise. Mike & Maddy designed my website: LadaRay.com. They have also designed 2 awesome dynamic apps for my blog and website: a book carousel and a vertical flash banner.

Dynamic apps create focal points and generate additional interest for your blog or website, not to mention, they save space by carrying a ton of useful information in a compact, yet strikingly memorable presentation! For example, if you have multiple books in a series (like my Accidental Spy series) or multiple paintings/music albums/services you want to showcase, you can organize them in a flash banner, carousel or another cool dynamic app! I am very happy with my apps and I highly recommend them to you. Moreover, I intend to order more of those in the future!

Check out my Book Carousel: http://www.ladaray.com

Check out Accidental Spy Vertical Flash Banner on my blog (top right): https://ladaray.wordpress.com

The same Accidental Spy Flash Banner, but in larger size (middle of the page, in the right-hand corner): http://www.ladaray.com/accidental-spy-series1.html

You can win a custom designed Vertical Flash Banner like the one on my blog or website!

But that’s not all!

Regardless of whether you win or not, everyone who posts a review will receive 20% off Dynamic Web Design services PLUS a FREE consultation. To receive your 20% off and a free consultation, be sure to mention CATHARSIS Contest!

DWD services include ebook (Kindle, Smashwords, ebup/Nook, PDF) & paperback (Create Space) formatting, custom website design and website image face-lift, innovative web apps design, state-of-the-art search engine optimization (SEO) and internet security services.

Good luck and happy reading!

Yours,

Lada Ray
