I decided to do something a little crazy for me- I engaged in a weekend binge of self promotion, asking for the support of my friends in getting the word out about my books. I offered two of them for free over the last couple days.
And.. well, I’ll be damned, it worked. I had more downloads in two days than I’ve had since they were originally released. That’s more people reading, experiencing the stories, and hopefully laughing where I meant them to than I’ve ever had at one time before. I’m not delusional, I know I’m not climbing the New York Times bestseller list, but, you know- all the books in my life I’ve enjoyed the most has been one that someone handed me and told me I needed to read.
And I figure- if I’m really super lucky, the folks that found my books these past couple of days might keep reading. I’ll never claim they are the greatest stories ever put to paper, but they are good, entertaining little reads that deserve to live… at least, I think so.
Oh, and this happened-
The highest The Witch’s Daughter got to that I saw was #5… sadly I didn’t think to get a list screenshot at that point. The Way of the Fae was in the 30s when it occurred to me to look at the ranking numbers. That means that anyone looking at those categories on Amazon or on their Kindles at that time saw these books, bumped up the listing.
And it’s all thanks to the folks that boosted the signal, sharing my posts, tagging their friends that they thought might enjoy my stuff. Maybe it took you just a couple minutes, but I’m not exaggerating in the least when I say, thank you, from the bottom of my heart- what you did means the world to me.
The weekend (and free copy of Witch’s Daughter) isn’t quite gone yet- please feel free to go snag a copy if you think you’d enjoy it.
Just never tell me if you hate it.
