I tried to put my ten ebooks up for free as part of my cunning marketing strategy. In fact, it's just about all of my marketing strategy, but I tried a bit harder to get downloads this time. So I spread news of this fantastic offer around, using links I'd found out about from one of the Meet Our Author threads. I must have spent a good hour and a bit telling folk about this free download business. I think if you were interested in the links, they are all mentioned in previous posts. Maybe the Facebook one isn't. You search FB for "free ebooks" and you can find places to leave messages (or warnings!) there.
I do not know if going the extra mile made any difference, but it probably did. The downloads were as follows:
USA - 440
UK - 150
Other places - 17.
So that's about six hundred downloads. The great thing about Kindle for me is that these books have some kind of life! Otherwise, nobody would get a chance to read them.
And the most popular download by a mile and a half is Ancient Futures. The next favourite download was Bugtown. This is odd since it's a book for readers of about twelve, but it has had a couple of five star reveiws!
