Book release- First Week Wrap Up

It's been a big week! I'm totally humbled already with the response Memory's Wake is getting. We were shipping stacks of paperbacks from my Fairies and Fantasy studio every day, and sales from other online stores have also been good. I hope as word of mouth also spreads things will snowball from there! Things I did last week- I posted an FAQ page with info about the story, writing and publishing. I made a video of me talking about the story, and did some spiffy editing to make it all purdy (and it really needed it too, I'm totally awkward and camera shy!). You can see it here- http://memoryswake.com/the-book/ I added a Free Downloads page, with wallpapers and such of the Memory's Wake artworks (lots of eye candy of the male characters!) I also released another illustration from the novel, probably the most detailed artwork I've ever done. I learned some new tricks, and have now included all of the illustrations also in the ebook versions, so no matter what version of Memory's Wake you buy, you'll get the pictures too! I chewed my nails a lot, and spent far too long checking sales numbers and customer reviews. Everyone likes it so far, score!   And there's a lot more fun stuff coming up next week! And more good news! I will absolutely be giving away a Kindle Ereader device for free to a winner of my Massive Book Launch Prize Draw! Have you entered yet? It's super easy. And here it is, all boxed and sealed from Amazon, waiting to go to it's new home. The sealed box is like a red flag to a bull for me. I so badly want to crack it open and… ah… check that it's all in functioning order for whoever wins… yes, that. I've seen the Kindle ereaders in store, and love how their screens almost look like real paper. I'm going to be very jealous of the winner, I don't even have one of these myself, I do my Kindle ebook reading on my teeny iphone. The Kindle up for grabs will also come with a protective silicone case, and, of course, a coupon to get Memory's Wake to read on it. And now I have to say a special thank you to everyone who has bought the book so far, has shown so much enthusiasm commenting here on the site, to those who read and finished the book the day they got it, and those who've let me know what they think. It all means so much to me, and re-affirms that I did the right thing getting my book out to you all now by self publishing it. Thank you!
