“Carson Reno is the best detective in the world!” – Horse Tales (Carson Reno Mystery Series Book 4) by Gerald W. Darnell

Ger horse tales with gun

Line Blurb
All Carson Reno Mystery Series Books are standalone novels. It is not necessary to read them in any particular order.
It was a disaster beyond most people’s comprehension.
There was nothing left standing of the barn, it had burned completely to the ground. Among the rubble and smoking wood, you could see the smoking corpses – which had once been some of the finest thoroughbred stallions in the Tennessee and Kentucky area.
Unnoticed, among these ruins, were the burned remains of Aaron Nunamaker, owner of ‘Nunamaker Stables’, and one of the best-known horse breeders and stud farm owners in West Tennessee.
Killing a human being brings the wrath of the law and the accompanying sorrow and grief from loved ones. Killing a helpless animal brings wrath that is unequaled to that associated with killing a person. This sorrow and grief continue long after the grief over human loss has left. Mankind will…

The Time After Time Series follows a pair of unlikely lovers on their adventures through life and love, this time on an alien planet divided into four tribes. When Neeka, daughter of the Lord of the Warrior Clan, was out picking lavender in their vast fields of the West, she felt him coming for her, and she was ready. When Braedon, Lord of the Soldier Clan of the East, rode into those lavender fields, searching for the woman of his dreams, he had no idea if she were even real. But there she was, standing there looking up at him, smiling. He reached his hand down to her and waited. She accepted his hand, beginning their adventures together, changing not only their lives but the course of life and unity on their planet forever. An alien planet. Or is it?

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a prince and his princess in a beautiful castle covered with snow.

Well, they usually lived in a beautiful castle, but it wasn’t always covered in snow, and they weren’t usually fighting their way through a blizzard to reach their home before the next blast of icy air hit them.

But sometimes, the most unexpected of stories start on the coldest of nights with a single match left to light the way home…

In the NeverLands, you never know what the Holidays will bring you…

Number of Active Social Media Users (2019)

Nicholas C. Rossis's avatarNicholas C. Rossis

I came across the following numbers on Ashley Barnes’ marketing blog and thought I’d share here as they may help you choose where to focus your book promotion efforts. Having said that, don’t forget my golden social media rule:

Don’t overextend. Focus on a couple of social media; the ones you feel more comfortable with.

Always take “success” stories like, “X author uses Y medium and is selling bucketloads of books” with a few pinches of salt (or even buckets, for that matter). We all have our own ways of promoting and what works for one won’t for another.

Number of Active Social Media Users (2019)

Anyway, here are the statistics for the current number of users of popular apps in 2019, ranked in order of popularity:

Social media - active users 2019 | From the blog of Nicholas C. Rossis, author of science fiction, the Pearseus epic fantasy series and children's books

Specifically, the numbers are as follows:

  • Facebook: 2.45 Billion monthly active users
  • YouTube: 1.9 Billion users
  • Instagram: 1 Billion monthly…
