10 Days in Panama – 1,100 + downloads so far

I revamped the story, redesigned the front cover and relaunched the book on Amazon / Kindle two weeks ago on a five-day FREE promotion.

So far there have been 100 downloads across the UK and 1000 downloads Worldwide. 

If you are one of those good people – I thank you!

I have two reviews within the front cover, which was part of the relaunch and I’ve already had a positive review from a new reader. That person will be posting their review on Amazon within the next day or two. Reviews, and in particular positive ones, are the lifeblood of a book and it’s author. I would be grateful if having taken the time to read my work, you could then write a short comment on the book’s Amazon page, either on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk 

My next novel is a thriller set in Glasgow and Western Scotland. I’ve completed the first draft and the rewriting is well underway. I’ll be happy to send an excerpt to any reader who reviews ’10 Days in Panama’

Minimum prices I can use are: £1.95 and equivlent U.S. $2.99

Ten Days

It took eleven months, four drafts and a little help, but it’s out there. 

‘Ten Days’, my romantic thriller is published on Smashwords.  According to all I’ve heard, the hard work starts now – the marketing.  Well, I’ve been in retail for 20 years so I must have learned something about marketing.

I published this morning and since then I’ve networked with several folk on Facebook and sent out a message on Twitter, which will be amended and retweeted over the next week or two, just in case it is missed by anyone.  I’ve sent out links for the 20% sample to a few people and I have a few more to add to that list.

Perhaps a little unique, but I’ve also written a poem with a flavour of the main characters.  I’ll post that on The Starlite Cafe site when I’ve tidied up the lines a little more.  For now I’ll have my front cover on here and this brief post.  Now I’ll have to get back to my big push.

What’s next?  Tomorrow I’ll be formatting the manuscript for publication on Amazon/Kindle.

Please check it out, or better still, buy it!  As Arnie said, ‘I’ll be back!’
