Now we got everything. If you go back you'll probably find somebody posted squid porn as well, cannot think who

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm not touching that!

[Jim]

I'm chuffed, got a second review for War 2.2

[Patti (baconater)]

Good morning Jim!

I'm looking forward to the BBQ. ;)

[Jim]

I'm getting ready, I thought I'll have it when I sell my one millionth book :-)

[Kath]

Great review! :)

[Jim]

Thanks Kath
With responses like that i might just have the BBQ after I sell the 500,000th book

[Kath]

The meat will be a bit off by then! Let's have it this weekend. We're all invited, right? ;)

[David]

Well done, Jim.

What time you chucking the cow on?

[Jim]

Well I'll hand out forks and you good people can just clean the building up whilst I do the cooking

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

And there was me thinking you meant cutlery...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yeah. The only thing I use a fork for is putting food in my mouth.

[Patti (baconater)]

I've just been reading about using toasting forks in front of an electric fire.

How well does that work?

[Patti (baconater)]

Fine for miniature pigs.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm just picturing sizzling bacon fat dripping on an electric fire.

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh gawd, can't you just SMELL it????

*drool*

[Jim]

I can remember making toast over a hot ring on a cooker,using a bent metal coat hanger to sit it on but that is many years ago and didn't involve bacon

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have a photo somewhere of my brother's lodger heating a can of ambrosia creamed rice over a gas ring, holding it with the can opener he had used to remove the lid.

[Jim]

Typical, the day I ought to be at the computer promoting, I'm on the road

Anyway Justice 4.1is now free to download for the next couple of days http://www.amazon.co.uk/Justice-4-1-T...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Reddit.

[Jim]

There might just be somebody out there who hasn't so I thought it would be nice to give them a chance :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Got well into War by the time the plane landed. Will probably get more read tonight.

[Jim]

That's good

I think the opening is perhaps the only bit that might make you nervous when flying :-)

[Jim]

With Justice 4.1I've reached

#15 in Kindle Store > Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Space Opera
#15 in Kindle Store > Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Science Fiction > Military

Which I'm quite chuffed about because they're actually big categories

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Good stuff Jim. I'm up to about 70% now.

[Patti (baconater)]

Good luck with the promo, Jim. I hope it leads to lots of sales,

[Jim]

Thanks all
Glad you're enjoying it Gingerlily
I improved the quality of the catering

Good going, Jim. Keep on climbing.

[Jim]

Just discovered I'm at
Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #989 Free in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Free in Kindle Store)

Which is the highest I've ever been, anywhere.
And still drifting slowly up on .com as well

[David]

Great news, Jim. Did you use any of those listing sites?

[Kath]

Great stuff! Keep going - that's the way to do it!

[Jim]

David wrote: "Great news, Jim. Did you use any of those listing sites?"

Yes,many thanks for the list. I'm with as many of the free ones as I could get :-). I rather concentrated on the US ones (most of them are) because I thought I ought to try and break into the US market.

Obviously I registered with the premier UK site, BookHippo.UK

Thanks Kath. Onwards and Upwards :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Just finished War and Peace 2.2 Not bad at all.

[G J (Gaff to my friends)]

That's great news Jim, fingers crossed it keeps going higher!

[David]

Good stuff.

Well done.

glad you liked it.
Actually it was short enough that I could probably have stuck it three quarters of the way into War and Peace and most people would never know because they never get that far :-)

I'm shallow enough to actually go to the website to look at my book there lying 7th. Then I noticed one of the others, out two years, has 342 reviews!
Mainly 4 star, but a nice range, even 7 one star!

[Patti (baconater)]

I'd like to see it hit the top 100 in the free store.

[Tim]

What have you got in the way of ads? I got up to #250 in the UK and #260 in the US with just a BKnights and a BookHippo. I think if I could have got some more ads for day 2 (when it started flagging) - ENT or similar, I could have hit the top 100...

[Jim]

The problem is with the big guys I don't have enough reviews for them to take me
Also whilst some are free, if you want to feature on their front page, you're expected to make a financial contribution

My marketing budget is limited to providing ice cream for Patti's 5 year olds when they come and see the lambs :-)

[Jim]

I had at least half a dozen of the American genuinely free sites, but because I wasn't paying it was a case of 'You'll probably be in at some point between these two days'
So some may yet to come through

It was interesting that I was given a list, and in the few months between the list being compiled and me using it, a number of the sites had switched to charging. Their argument was that there were just so many people wanting promoting

[Tim]

Yes, I only use the cheapies - BKnights is $5 (on Fiverr), and ENT is only $15 for SF & YA. ENT has always paid for itself, but being accepted is hit & miss. But then I don't always get a slot on Rosen's BookHippo either.
