Huntress Moon an Amazon Hot New Release!

So I woke up this morning and the third day after my free run, now that it's back to $3.99,  Huntress Moon has hit the Amazon Hot New Release List, currently #28

On other lists:

# 1 in Hardboiled Mysteries (Books)

# 2 in Hardboiled Mysteries (Kindle)

# 2 in Police Procedurals (Kindle)

# 3 in Police Procedurals (Books)

# 3 in Mysteries (Kindle)

# 17 in Mysteries and Thrillers (Kindle)

#18 in Mysteries, Thriller and Suspense (Books)

Top 100 Bestsellers list:  #80

This is a fantastic thing, to be so high on all those lists - it's huge, targeted exposure for the book.  So last post when I was asking whether all that frantic marketing was worth it?  Today I would say HELL YEAH.

As giddy as I am about all this... on the question of how much what I did in terms of marketing influenced that happening - I'm not so sure. I don't know if anyone CAN be sure.

I know for sure I increased my CHANCES of this happening with the marketing push I did.

I know for sure that you all who have liked and tagged and reviewed the book, and who have shared and tweeted and Liked my posts and Facebook updates - all of you and all of that helped enormously and immeasurably. You're all rock stars in my book.

And for you writers, I hope you've been learning a little something about how to go about this for yourselves; I'll for sure be compiling a lot more information about what I found useful and effective (I think, anyway!) to post here.

This isn't over at all, but it's the launch I had been hoping for, and I know SO much more about what to do next time. That is, unless everything changes between now and then. But if it does, we'll adapt. If there's anything I learned from the spiral that I've been in (in a good way) - looking back at promotion as it was just three years ago, and what it is now, it's that things WILL change, and as long as we're willing to keep learning, we'll all be fine.
