I sold 6 copies of GYPSY BLOOD yesterday on Amazon.com and a copy to Amazon.co.uk for 7 copies in total.
The numbers aren’t huge so far and the advertising has CERTAINLY not paid for itself – but there has been a bump in daily sales both for GYPSY BLOOD and a few of my other books. Trying to positively attribute a bump in sales directly towards promotion is ALWAYS an exercise in pie-hole-smoke, however, I am still satisfied that my efforts are bearing a little fruit.
Let me give you the full run-down, so far.

I have got another small promotion lined up for June 1 and June 2 for my massive short story collection Do-overs and Detours: Eighteen Eerie Tales – so we will see if this momentum I am building up with this one promotion carries through to the next month.
At least that is the plan.
We’ll see what the road ahead has in store for me.
yours in storytelling,

Like you, I belong to bookpromocoop.com. Just joined, in fact. A couple days ago, Do-overs and Detours showed up on my website under the title I use for the coop books: Trailblazers. Something about it caught my eye. I clicked on it, liked the product description, and liked the way it got out of the gate. So bought it and now it is on summer reading list.

You know, now that I think of it DO-OVERS AND DETOURS is going to be available for FREE starting June 1. So I’ve just sent you a free copy of my three novella collection MIDNIGHT HAT TRICK to make up for you missing out on the free offer.
Hope you are having a good weekend!
🙂
