Putting the Passion Into Promoting Your Book
When the post went live Joan emailed me:
I particularly love the sentence: “If you are not going to be willing to put in the passion — the time and the effort and probably the money — to promote your book, perhaps it is better not to write the book.” That needs to be put on a billboard!
She can say that again!

P.S. And click here to read my article on Amazon’s new program Kindle Countdown Deals. On November 4-5 click here to to see the Kindle Countdown Deal information added to my women’s friendship novel MRS. LIEUTENANT, with which I am trying out this new program.

KDP Select Has New Feature: Kindle Countdown Deals
According to Amazon:
Kindle Countdown Deals is a new KDP Select benefit that allows authors to run limited-time discount promotions on their books, which can help earn more royalties and reach more readers. Customers can see the regular price and the promotional price on the book’s detail page, as well as a countdown clock telling them how much time is left at the promotional price. You’ll also continue to earn your selected royalty rate on each sale during the promotion.
Now I have just set up one of these promotions for my women’s friendship novel MRS. LIEUTENANT. There are a lot of requirements/information, and the following are the important points that I have found so far. But, as always with Amazon, this could change.
While the ebook price is discounted, the books featured on Amazon’s countdown deal page list the book paperback price rather than the book regular ebook price in comparison with the deal ebook price. At first I could not figure out why the ebook prices displayed were so high, until I realized the prices were the paperback prices. Note that I think this is somewhat odd and certainly misleading.
There are numerous rules about when in a 90-day period you can run a Kindle Countdown Deal, but the most interesting rule may be that you cannot run both a Kindle Countdown Deal and free days in the same 90-day period.
As opposed to the free days, which automatically run across multiple Amazon country sites, it appears that only Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk currently have the Kindle Countdown Deal option. And you have to set each of these up separately.
The dashboard for this option does the heavy lifting for you, automatically figuring out when the price should change for the countdown (although apparently you can override this).
Whereas if your ebook is priced below $2.99 on Amazon.com you only get 30% royalties instead of being able to opt for 70% royalities for ebook prices between $2.99 and $9.99, you will get 70% royalties (if that is your option at $2.99 or above) on the countdown prices.
Confused? It does seem very complicated for what is being advertised as a great benefit for authors. Click here to read more about this new KDP Select feature.
P.S. Here is the email I got from Amazon after setting up the countdown:
Hello from Kindle Direct Publishing,Your Kindle Countdown Deals promotion for “Mrs. Lieutenant: A Women’s Friendship Novel” is set to begin on November 3, 2013 at 7:00:00 AM UTC.
We’d like to remind you that the promotion may not be edited while it is running, and the last chance you’ll have to make any changes will be 24 hours before it begins. You can make changes up until November 2, 2013 at 7:00:00 AM UTC. The next time you will be able to change the list price for your book will be 14 days after your promotion ends.
To make sure as many people as possible see your deal, we’d encourage you to communicate the promotion to your readers and prospective readers through other channels you usually use to promote your work (including blog posts, email outreach, social media, etc).
Thanks again for choosing KDP to publish your work.
Best Regards,
The Kindle Direct Publishing Team

Excerpt of HOT POTATO: A SCREWBALL ROMANTIC COMEDY NOVELLA
Adapted from the screenplay “Hot Potato”
By Phyllis Zimbler Miller and Mitchell R. Miller
Chapter 1
Los Angeles —
Walter Stearns squirmed on the counter stool. He knew the shit was about to hit the fan.
He forced himself to smile in order give his voice a lift. Then he said into his cell, “Look, Sid, I’m sorry the interfaces didn’t work on U.S. current. My partner will get you an acceptable substitute. I’ll transfer you over.”
Flashing a smile at Charlie, the counterman at the Los Angeles diner where Walter conducted his entrepreneurial businesses, Walter now spoke in a woman’s voice with an Indian accent. “Please hold, sir, while I transfer you.”
A moment later Walter continued in the woman’s voice: “Mr. Patel isn’t in. May I give you his voice mail?”
When Walter ended the call, Charlie wiped his hands on his apron and shook his head at Walter. “How you gonna get out of that?”
Walter grinned at Charlie. “I bought enough time to think of something.”
Charlie again shook his head at Walter and marched down to the end of the counter to take the order of a new arrival.
What to do? Walter needed to find another opportunity and soon. His last few endeavors had not been what one would call salutary. Not salutary at all.
He gulped his cold coffee, considering whether he would finally have to get a real job. He had successfully avoided this option for so long. Why now were his efforts — okay, schemes — failing?
He opened The Wall Street Journal folded next to his cell and skimmed the front page headlines. Today even the humorous article on the front page did not amuse him. If the article couldn’t supply him with revenue, he could care less.
Then on one of the international news pages he found it!
Walter waved Charlie over. “The Russians are sending their gold to Swiss banks!”
Charlie leaned in towards Walter. “Yeah, what for?”
Walter laughed and tapped his finger on the article. “They’re having trouble with their cash flow. They’re sending the gold as collateral for new loans.”
Now Charlie tapped the newspaper. “I’m having a little trouble wit’ my own cash flow. Think I can get me some of that dough?”
Walter ignored Charlie’s comment. Instead Walter explained to Charlie what the deal was. “With the Swiss banks the Russians won’t get much interest. Now if they would invest with me, we’re talking 20, 25% annual return.”
Charlie shot Walter a look. Walter knew that look — it meant “Here goes the bullshitter again.” But this time Walter would be successful.
***
Bernard Milow sat in his office at the University of Southern California studying a large map on his computer screen. He squinted at the intricate train routes, considering which route would be the most efficient shipping for the products of a company that had hired him as a transportation consultant.
Computers might be able to suggest the best route. But computers didn’t take into consideration the actual on-the-ground conditions, conditions that Bernard had spent years studying.
At that moment trouble blew into his office. His good-for-nothing brother-in-law Walter Stearns descended on him without even bothering to knock.
Before Walter had the chance to open his mouth, Bernard said, “How much do you want this time?”
Instead of Walter answering, he knocked a stack of books off the visitor chair and plopped down.
“Why do you always think I’ve come to borrow money?” Walter said.
Bernard threw up both his hands. “Borrow is not exactly the operative word, Walter.”
Walter flashed a smile — a smile Bernard had come to know as extremely deceptive. “All I want is your expertise,” Walter said.
Bernard considered responding, but knew there was no stopping this particular steam engine once it got chugging along. He simply waited.
“If — hypothetically — the Russians were to ship some of their gold reserves to Switzerland, how would they do it?” Walter said.
Russians? Gold? Switzerland? What the hell?
“What are you talking about, Walter?” Bernard said.
Bernard was treated to another Walter Stearns smile. “Could you just answer this hypothetical question, please?” Walter said.
A direct answer would cost him nothing. “By train,” Bernard said.
“Why not by air?”
“Their airline safety record isn’t so good. And gold isn’t something that lends itself to air shipping.”
Walter sat for a moment without speaking. Bernard knew from previous unfortunate experiences that the devious wheels of Walter’s mind were spinning at an incredible rate.
“What route would the gold take?”
Bernard couldn’t help it. He had promised himself he wouldn’t react to Walter, but this was too much!
“You’re involved in some scheme to steal Russian gold!”
“This is strictly legit!”
Bernard took a large gulp of his coffee. He reminded himself he need not provide any information.
“I will not participate in one of your schemes,” Bernard said.
“Ventures.” And then Walter smiled again. “The sooner you help me, the sooner I’ll leave.”
Bernard caved.
He clicked some buttons on his computer and turned the screen so Walter could see.
“The most direct route from their gold mines to Switzerland is right through Poland into the Czech Republic.”
Walter studied the screen. “Where would a train like that stop?”
“At Brest — they’ll have to change trains there.”
“Why there?”
“Russian trains use a different gauge track. They can’t run on European tracks.”
Bernard stood. Hopefully Walter would now leave. Or perhaps adding a little more information would help get Walter out the door.
Bernard said, “Those trains won’t stop for anything except to change trains for the different gauge tracks. They’ll be heavily guarded.”
Walter stood too. “It’s only hypothetical.”
Bernard grabbed Walter’s forearm. “Walter, if you embarrass your sister one more time, I’m going to rip your heart out.”
Walter shook off Bernard’s hand. “Now, Bernard.”
Bernard said, “That is, if someone doesn’t beat me to it.”
With that the black cloud of Walter Stearns exited the office without even a thank you.
Bernard decided he had better not tell his wife about this newest scheme. She might not be able to take any more anxiety when it came to news of her younger brother.
Instead Bernard returned to studying train routes for his paying client. And he determined to think no more about what his brother-in-law might — or might not — be up to.
Chapter 2
Brest, Poland —
Susan Thornton eyed the men in high-ranking military uniforms standing around her. She knew that she herself — in an expensive tailored silk shirt and matching pants — attracted them. But she wanted to attract them with the missile launcher.
She hefted it to her shoulder and said, “Please clear the back-blast area, gentlemen. About 15 meters to the rear and 10 meters to the sides.”
Watching the men scurry out of the way, she said, “Now note that the line-of-sight to the target is actually obscured by that clump of trees.”
The men all looked downrange towards a tank hull peeking out from behind a grove of trees. As they watched, the tank driver backed up the tank until it was totally obscured. Then the tank driver scrambled out of the tank and dashed to a safe position.
“Target medium tank — front!” she said. “Identify! Fire! On the way!”
Flame roared out of the launcher and a dot hurtled towards the target. Susan turned her back on the target and removed the launcher from her shoulder. She smiled, knowing how delighted the men would be at the result of her demonstration.
The dot traveled downrange, popped up over the tress, then dove down behind the trees and hit the target with a bang and a flash of light.
Around her the uniformed men clapped and stamped their feet. Susan gestured at the officer standing closest to her.
“Now, General Crenski, you try it.”
The general’s chest seemed to visually expand as he took the missile launcher Susan held out to him. She smiled again. Yes, this was going to be a good sales day.
***
Los Angeles —
Walter typed in a question on his phone and waited for the answer. He clicked on the first link and scanned the information.
“Bingo!” he said.
“What’d you find out?” Charlie asked, coming over to Walter’s end of the counter.
“Just listen.”
Walter dialed a number and then, speaking with a Texas accent, said, “Swiss Federal Bank? I want to speak to the international credit department.”
Charlie said, “The Swiss are going to lend you money?”
Walter waved his arm for Charlie to be quiet.
“My name is James Witherspoon of International Continental Dynamics. We have an account with your bank.”
Walter listened to the reply, then said, “No, I won’t tell you the number over the phone. Don’t you know what bank secrecy means? Just check your computer — you’ll see we’re a major client.”
When he got confirmation of the account, Walter went on, “We have a small problem.”
He ignored Charlie hissing the word “Small?”
“We shipped 30 of our plutonium isolators to the Russians six months ago. We haven’t been paid and you guaranteed the loan. When are we going to get our money?”
Walter waved his arm to shush Charlie before he said anything else.
“You haven’t been paid either,” Walter said. “What are you doing about it?”
Walter spun on his counter stool while listening to the response. “You expect this additional collateral when?
In three days?”
Pumping his arm in a victory salute, Walter next said, “We have a first lien — in the county recorder’s office of Terrell County, Texas. That’s in Sanderson. Stop by for the Chuck Wagon Cook Off, why don’t you?”
Moments later Walter disconnected his call and yelled at Charlie, “Hey, Charlie, I have a plane to catch.”
Charlie shook his head. “Don’t ya call me from jail.”
Walter smiled. “Oh ye of little faith,” he said.
***
Former East Germany —
Lida pushed an umbrella stroller holding nine-month-old Peter. She glanced behind her at the old building whose sign in English and German read “American Sisters of Charity Orphanage.”
Checking that no one could overhear her, she said in English, the language she had been instructed to always speak on the grounds of the orphanage, “Are you comfortable, liebchen? Muti always takes good care of you.”
An elderly nun appeared on the path some distance ahead of Lida. For only a moment Lida considered fleeing in the opposite direction. Instead she continued pushing the stroller towards the nun.
The nun shook her head at Lida. “You should not have taken Peter for a walk. The people who want to adopt him are coming to visit this afternoon.”
Lida flashed her sweetest smile. “Muti knows Peter does not like to miss his afternoon walk.”
“Lida, you must give up this illusion of being the baby’s mother,” the nun said. “He will soon have a real mother.”
Lida gritted her teeth to prevent saying something nasty to a sister. The nun must have noticed this because she next said, “Perhaps if you weren’t so incorrigible you would have been adopted.”
The flare of anger inside her surprised Lida. By now she should have been accustomed to such comments. She had to get away from this sister!
Lida grabbed the handles of the stroller and pushed as fast as she could so the nun could not keep up. Over her shoulder Lida said, “I will take Peter back and wash him up to meet his new parents.”
Lida had no such intention — she would never let another mother take Peter. Now was finally the time for her escape plan.
She parked the stroller next to the building and leaned down to speak to the baby. “Peter, be quiet and I’ll be right back with your bottle.”
Inside the building Lida climbed the stairs to the second floor and entered a dormitory. She walked down the double row of beds each featuring a gray blanket tightly tucked into the metal bedframe. She stopped in front of one of the wood cabinets that stood next to each bed.
From the cabinet she took one set of pajamas, a sweater, three pairs of underpants and a hairbrush. She put the sweater on over the white blouse she wore above her navy uniform skirt. At least the sweater partially disguised that she wore a uniform.
Although she would have liked to take a change of clothes, the only other clothes she had consisted of an identical uniform, currently in the orphanage laundry.
Then she walked to the few cribs at the far end of the room. From one crib she took a blanket. Then she took a bottle, two baby one-piece outfits, a sweater, two cans of formula, and a box of disposable diapers from the cabinet next to the crib.
She dropped her items and Peter’s items into the blanket and tied the ends in a knot.
She took one more look around the dormitory, the only home she had ever known, and then ran down the stairs.
Outside again, she placed the tied-up blanket on the shelf underneath the stroller seat and set off in the direction of the road.
Lida pushed the stroller the short distance to the small train station that served this rural part of Germany. She said over and over to herself, “I am Peter’s muti. I cannot let strangers take him away like my own muti let happen to me.”
Lida sat down on a bench on the street side of the train station and rocked Peter back and forth in his stroller. The baby whimpered as an old woman approached. The woman leaned over the stroller and spoke in German to Lida, “Such a beautiful baby.”
Lida said, “He is hungry.”
“Why is that?” the old woman asked.
Lida rubbed her eyes as if she had been crying. “My mother will be very angry with me. She sent me to visit my sick grandmother. A man stopped me and stole all my money.”
The old woman shook her head. “Such things would never have happened in the old days. This is what the West has brought to us!”
Lida rubbed her eyes again. The woman patted Lida on the back.
“I will give you some money to get home. Will 10 Euros be enough?”
Lida kissed the hand that held out the money and the old woman walked away.
A few minutes later a second old woman approached Lida and Peter. This woman also bent over the stroller.
“What a pretty baby,” the second woman said.
“He is hungry.”
“Why?” asked the woman.
Lida rubbed her eyes.

Book Authors: Do You Re-Cycle Your Original Material?
A fiction author wrote me an email describing an annual event in her hometown. In the email the author mentioned a scene in her award-winning novel connected to this annual event. I emailed her back recommending she use her email as a blog post on her author site, especially as the material included a mention of her novel.
And what about scraps of stories you may have from years ago? Pull these out of a drawer or off your computer and consider how this original material might be used to connect with your current and prospective book fans.
When you write answers to an online interview or write emails explaining interesting events can you re-cycle some of this original material into other writing projects?
At the moment I’m adapting the screenplay HOT POTATO — an homage to the classic movie “Bringing Up Baby” that I wrote with my husband — into a short novel that I will publish on Kindle. (The screenplay is already available in the paperback FOUR COMEDY SCREENPLAYS on Amazon at http://amzn.to/TPy6Cs)
If you consider the original material you may be creating every day, there may be a treasure trove available for you to share with others.

Your Twitter Bio and Background for KDP Select Free Days
I usually remember to change my Twitter bio to include an announcement with link to an ebook during its KDP Select free days and to use the cover of the book as my Twitter bio background. (Then, of course, I have to remember to remove the announcement and link from the Twitter bio when the free days are over.)
It is easy to overlook this when you are busy tweeting, posting updates on Facebook and LinkedIn, etc. to promote your KDP Select free days.
Another easy-to-overlook promotional step is the creating of a free ad on Snickslist.com the first day your Kindle ebook is free. (Click here to see the ad for my teen book HOW TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND PREP FOR COLLEGE — free on Kindle October 10-14.)
Depending on how much time you want to devote to promoting your free book on Kindle, there are numerous activities you can do. Ensuring your Twitter bio and background support free days takes only a few minutes.
Click here for the link to the free Kindle ebook HOW TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND PREP FOR COLLEGE from October 10-14. Makes a great gift!

More Thoughts on KDP Select
After continually reading and writing about KDP Select, I think the number one piece of advice for authors seems to be:
Even if you plan to put your new ebook on other platforms, do Amazon’s KDP Select first for a 90-day period (uncheck the automatic renewal option) and then put your ebook on other platforms.
Why?
Because being able to choose five days during that 90-day period in which to offer your new book for free can provide an important opportunity to get your new book in front of readers. In addition, Amazon Prime members can borrow your book for free and you get paid for these borrows so this also encourages sampling of a new book.
After reading this book, I’m thinking of starting out with the five free days all at once for a new book I’m working on (screwball romantic comedy HOT POTATO) and then putting the book at the 99 cents price point.
As the author says himself, you have to experiment yourself to see what works best for you. And that advice to experiment is very important.
Do make sure that, before you put a new book on KDP Select, your Amazon Author Central profile is in good shape. (If you do not know about this free opportunity on Amazon, click here to see my ebook TOP TIPS FOR HOW TO MARKET YOUR BOOK ON AMAZON AND FACEBOOK.)
