Twist in the tale short stories:Have written several volumes of short stories.Need help connecting with market?
Although I have several volumes of twist in the tale short stories published as ebooks on Amazon, I am having trouble connecting with the target audience since the stories are for women (they have a female lead character, since I used to write these stories for the women's weeklies) and most women readers---that is if I can find them online---are suspicious of any approach I make via posts on chick lit blogs or through the social media sites. Does anyone have any ideas how I might connect, online, with potential readers of these kinds of ebooks? How I might improve my online visibility? All advice gratefully received.

Your covers are TERRIBLE. Potential readers are quick to judge your work, and when covers are this bad, it sends a message that you don't care about your product.

You also don't have sparkling blurbs for your anthologies. You stress your previous successes, but we want to hear about the stories. Are they funny? Scary? Set us up with a couple of story teasers... really Martha comes home to find something unexpected in the kitchen. Su really needs to get rid of her husband... That sort of thing.

Lastly, you have one "paid" review which criticizes your writing style. Take a lesson and fix these writing problems.

Every effort doesn't take off. My last advice is to keep writing and keep improving.
