The grand total is 18,003 free books given away around the world. Add to that five new reviews on Amazon, one new review on Goodreads and a bunch of people adding the book to their shelves on Goodreads, and I think I’ve done a lot to raise awareness about the book.

What I’m told is that it takes a few days for the free-book giveaway to turn into real sales. We’ll see how that goes.
