Round one of our promotional group was a success - everyone got around 15 sales and were bumped into the top 20,000 sales rank at Amazon - some much higher.  One person jumped up over 400,000 spots.The pace was fairly hectic - two books a week was fine until the last week. So this time around, we're only featuring one book per week.I hope to keep this group alive.  Most enjoyed it although we had a few bumps along the way (like the three members of the group that decided not to buy any more…See More

Authors: Want to Promote Your Kindle Book?

There are over half a million books available on Kindles at Amazon by Indie authors. The sheer volume of books available makes it is close to impossible to get noticed. Too many good books are sitting idly by waiting to get recognized. For a book to have success, it needs to get momentum. Once it gets that push, it generates interest and can propel it to further success. I am proposing a way to help authors get that initial push.Here’s how:1. Ask authors who are willing to make their book…See More

Does Anyone Read Books On-line?

Is it rude to ask people to read my book on-line? My book is soon to be published, first as an ebook (next week).  I don't know how to give away free copies of ebooks (I need to ask my publisher).  My book will be on-line until it's published and I'm looking for reviewers that might be interested (I'm sure the subject will turn some off). I know it's not a free ARC, but it can at least give you a chance to peek at it and see if you're interested. Let me know what you think: …See More

Profile Information

Favorite Book
Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
About Me:
KJ Kron grew up in a Catholic family in Fairfax, VA. In his third year in college he took a creative writing class, wrote a short story that won an award, and decided he wanted to write novels.

After graduating from James Madison University in 1989, KJ Kron moved to Kansas City to find a place to write free of distractions. He volunteered through the Catholic Church helping teenagers with drug problems where he wrote his first unpublished novel (Pinkie System). When the founder turned the place into a religious community, KJ quit and moved into a neighboring gospel singing church until he got on his feet. Eventually he came back to Northern Virginia with a new plan –work overnight in a psychiatric hospital. Four years later he finished his second unpublished novel (Five Guys Named Johnson) and took classes at George Mason University to get a teaching license and his masters’ degree in Education.

KJ Kron has taught English and creative writing for 15 years, two of them part-time so he could write Saint Peter Killed God. While teaching, KJ met a VIF (Visiting International Faculty) teacher from Spain. Two and a half years later they married. KJ agreed to spend summers and the winter breaks in Spain with his wife and son unless they moved to Spain. KJ is conversant in Spanish. The hope is that their son will grow up bilingual. KJ dreams of moving to Spain to work on more novels, but cannot afford it at the moment so he and his wife continue teaching.
