Price-Matching of My Books

I have decided to reduce the prices, in most cases, of my books on the Internet. However, price-matching of my books, all fifty of them across all the outlets where they are sold would take quite some time, so I am going to adjust the prices on Smashwords only.

This isn’t favouritism, it is just that they make it easy to change a long list of book prices. It would take hours to do the same on Amazon (Kindle). However, Amazon is very good at detecting outlets with lower prices. If they do not offer you a lower than their list price, check with my author page on Smashwords here:

If you sell books on your website or blog, you could also sign up as an affiliate for my books and earn at least 11% commission, which is at least 250% than that earned for the same sale on Amazon.

Furthermore, I frequently reduce the price of some or all of my book on Smashwords with a short-term coupon code. As an example for the early birds, the the following code to obtain 50% off my latest novel, The Ghouls of Calle Goya, until 100 have been sold:

UB54K

I will try this system out until I find a better way of doing it, and tweak it in the meantime. If you would like to be kept informed of my progress and the discounts as they appear, sign up for the newsletter on my profile page using the link above.

There is no actual newsletter at the moment, but Smashwords will inform you of any new discounts on my books. My real newsletter is at:

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
