It’s Mother’s Day–you say you forgot to get Mom anything? Hop over to the Amazon Kindle Store and get Mom a free electronic of The Fence My Father Built, as well as Snow Melts in Spring by Deb Vogts and a few other titles. As promised, this is the last time you’ll have to endure my sideshow barking about the free Kindle promotion of my novel. Only a few hours left, but if you run, don’t walk to Amazon.com, you can still get your free copy through today, Sunday, May 9.
Lots of readers have asked how all this works. The free Kindle promotion’s first job is to help create buzz. Give anything away and people will want it. The more who download my book, the longer it remains highly visible on Amazon’s coveted Bestseller lists. The Fence My Father Built climbed to the top of bestsellers in Kindle books and in overall (kindle & hard copy) Contemporary Fiction category. The longer it stays on the Bestseller lists, the more people who might not know about my book see the cover and title every time they search the books category. The second purpose is the hope that those who get their free copy will also want a hard copy–perhaps for their permanent collections or to give to a friend or relative. Since a big part of selling a good book is getting word of mouth to spread, giving away my novel for free for a limited time makes sense. Don’t be left out. Get yours now.
