I decided to try Amazon's new KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) -- whereas I agree to make the eBook format of my novel exclusive to Amazon for 90 days.
I have to admit, I was skepitcal. But, since I hadn't sold many on other sites I decided it give it a try. Also, they have make it possible to download your book for free for any 5 days during those 90. I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas (or a few days early) from my lovely wife. One of the first things I did was search and download any free books that caught my attention. So, I reasoned other new Kindle owners would do the same.
As of this posting, my 1st novel - The Coming of the Wolf - has been downloaded 619 times! I am thrilled. Granted I didn't make a dime on the downloads but that is 619 new readers. That is great news to me. Just wanted to share....back to the writing.
I am one of those 619 new readers.. i only downloaded your books because they were cheap and i was given a kindle for christmas.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty.. as a well established reader of Fantasy Fiction i wanted you to know i was hooked within the first chapter of your first book.. and downloaded the second book, which i am now 3/4 of the way through.. i have not put my kindle down.
You write so well, your characters and story move me.. i look forward to reading more.. and perhaps in the future buying the paper copies of your books.. because while i love to read.. the kindle doesnt compare to holding a book in my hands.
Thank you for the story.. you have a new fan.

Thanks for the kudos. I am thrilled that you like my novels. Rest assured, that I am working on book 3 of this series and at least 2 other books, 1 Sci Fi and another but different Fantasy novel. Please pass the word about my novels. Readers like you are my best form of advertising.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am also one of those 619 readers and I just finished reading the book. It was awesome! I'm glad to know that there's a sequel so if you don't mind, I need to go get it downloaded and begin my reading. Thanks and best of luck for your career, also Happy Holidays!
