I've finally given in...

... yes, I'm going to promote my novel,Coincidences using the Amazon KDP Select Programme.





I wasn't sure whether or not to go for it; after all, it does mean my book is tied to a 90 day exclusivity clause with Amazon, so I can't sell the e-book version anywhere else during that time. But given that most of my e-book sales are from Amazon anyway, I thought I would give it a try.

With the KDP Select option, my book is now available to Amazon Prime members to lend from Amazon's lending library. So if you're a member, please check out the book.

As part of the KDP Select programme, I can offer my book as a free Kindle download for a maximum of 5 days during the 90 day period.

This is one of the things that attracted me to KDP in the first place, because Amazon is a very powerful company and promotion on the site can help considerably with getting an author's name out there. As you can imagine, with millions of books available on the site, it's hard for an independent writer to sell even a few books. Using the free promotion, in theory more people will download the book and therefore it will be more visible on Amazon's bestseller lists, hopefully leading to more sales in the long run.

This is where you lovely people come in...

If you would be so kind as to take a minute to download my book for free from Amazon this Saturday 28th July or Sunday 29th July, it would help greatly. You don't even have to read it if you don't want to, but your download will make it more visible to people who may want to read it, as it will be higher up on the bestseller lists.

If you read it and review it, that would be even better, as reviews do help to sell books, too.

Here are the links you will need on Saturday and Sunday to download the book for FREE!! :)

And don't forget to tell all your friends!

Thank you, in advance, and I hope you enjoy the book :)
