Teresa Tsalaky Greetings, everyone.

I'm a new author who just e-published my first novel in June.

To promote it, I posted to several Goodreads groups a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD or $130 Amazon gift card for posting an honest review on Amazon. I ended up selling about 20 books the first week (with the price dropped to $0.99), but only 7 people have entered the contest so far.

I'll keep you posted on how it turns out.

Meanwhile, you can still enter at http://bit.ly/1l1LjU4 With so few entrants, you've got a great chance of winning

Tracey Madeley | 11 comments If you need more reviews after the competition, you could sign up to the ebook review group. Jim gets 5 of us together and we all undertake to review 4 books in 8 weeks. It's going well so far, but I haven't had my reviews yet!
