One of the most inspiring posts I see on my many author forums is when someone takes the time to share their story. Each Friday, I’m going to feature a different indie author to help inspire all of you!
What is your pen name?
David Campbell
What genre do you write in?
Mystery/Suspense
How many books have you published?
Four.
What inspired you to become a writer?
It’s the only thing I was ever good at! Ideas just pop into my head and I can detail them with words. I’ve been writing since I was 10.
What is your indie success story?
I made $1000 and took my girlfriend away for the weekend. I told her we had to try and spend exactly $1000 and not a dollar more or less. We ended up over by $12 but it was memorable and symbolic for me.
What are your marketing and advertising strategies?
I wing it. I have tried and will try anything – Facebook and Amazon ads, book promotions on dozens of sites, word of mouth. The one thing I want to try is to set up a booth in the lobby of my local library and give away copies with the promise of a review (either good or bad).
What are you working on right now?
I published my fourth book on July 15, 2020 and just started on my fifth. It’s about a family that moves into a house that they unintentionally realize was previously owned by a mass murderer who has left clues to his crimes behind.
