Usually when I do an Amazon Kindle free day, it's when the book has been out awhile. In this case, I am trying something different to see how that works for a book that was only published Monday.
I am still debating the value of these free days. There is one huge plus-- they do get the books out there. The first one I did over two days got 1250 takers; the second one, as a one day, 1100. There is a satisfaction in that at least someone might be reading them-- although when something is free, who knows for sure if they do get read.
The concern I have about it is-- might it get to a point where readers only want free days and they wait for them? Still, where I am an unknown writer, haven't been publishing very long-- as in just since the middle of December-- my best hope is to get people to see the books and find they like a form of story they hadn't tried. If they do, with eventually ten of these contemporaries, I have a lot more to offer.
This one is Evening Star and for February 16th, a free download for your Kindle or computer with a free Kindle app. Click on the link above or the one alongside this blog and be sure the price is correct ($.00) before hitting purchase. Amazon has been good at this but always check the price just in case something didn't go through properly.
There are now six on Amazon with four to go which I plan will be one a month as I look at more ways to help readers find them.
