Report on My Free EBook Offer

Today and tomorrow are the last days to get Final Respects free for Kindle.


Link in case you want to try it:

http://www.amazon.com/Final-Respects-F-M-Meredith-ebook/dp/B00WNJEWSM/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1430402585&sr=1-1&keywords=final+respects+by+f.+m.+meredith

Why would anyone do this? You ask.

The main reason is tht hope that if someone likes this one they'll try one or more of the others in the Rcoky Blugg P.D. series.

As of this writing this is what has happened so far:

The first day it was #70 in the100 free mysteries--the lower the number the better. It has since moved ot #90, though this number keeps changing up and down.

It was also #2 in free mysteries, police procedurals, but when I last looked it was #3.

The report from my publisher today was that there were 4,937 downloads so far, and 10 other books in the series have been purchased.

We had some blips along the way trying to get this all set up--but it seems to be working fine now.
The secret, of course is to do one heck of a lot of promoting--the secret to selling any book these days. I used some paid sites--those who promote free ebooks--and some free sites. There are lots of both.

This is the second time I've done this and it paid off the first time in royalties and lots of reviews. I"m hoping the same will happen this time.
