Unfamiliar Country up on Daily Cheap Reads!
The www.dailycheapreads.com website is featuring my short story, Unfamiliar Country, today. In their own words about the site -
Every day, we list cheap reads available for your Kindle e-reader through Amazon. Almost all of the books we feature will not be priced over $5. At least once a day we post a SuperCheap read for less than $2. We also post FREE books as soon as they become available. The only thing better than cheap is free.
There is a UK facing site too – www.dailycheapreads.co.uk – but I think the sites feature books independently, so it won't be displaying on the UK site as far as I know. I might well contact the UK site to request a feature.
It went online at 10pm US Central time, which is 6 hours behind the UK, but I've already had a sale (a single sale – wahoo!) so it was worth the grovelling email to ask for it to be featured!
There are a few of these Amazon affiliate sites catering for Kindle products, and they serve the Indie self-publisher like myself perfectly. They seem to be a key tool in the marketing toolbox for selling books, as the sites attract a considerable amount of traffic, especially when you consider the social media aspect. DailyCheapReads.com has more than 1,800 'likers' or fans who will receive an update from the site for each book that is listed on the site, including mine.
In most cases you just need to contact the administrators and they'll queue it up for listing. I have another similar spot for Unfamiliar Country coming up in October, on Speak At Night recommendations. More on that later.
