As planned all along, Sesta 1 of
Lucky Guess (
Gambit) is available for free at
Amazon's Kindle Store starting today--for three whole days only, to tie in with Memorial Day (in the U.S.) and Pentecost (in the Caribbean, Commonwealth and parts of Europe). The promotion ends Tuesday morning sometime before 1:00 a.m. Pacific/4:00 a.m Eastern/0800 UTC. Not that it really matters, but around twelve hours into this shindig, I've racked up a grand total of just 23 downloads--20 on the U.S. site, the remaining three in the UK. 23...and if you think about it enough, that's not bad for a first-timer. At the rate I was going early this morning, I thought I'd be lucky to hit half of that by 2:00 in the afternoon. (Thanks,
Ruth Nestvold!)
Alas,
judging by the amount of flak I've recently received on the Kindle Boards for my efforts, I've decided to throw in the towel after Part 2,
Castle, goes up on July 10th for the same list price as
Gambit...and that's it for the Amazon previews. After August 17th, when my KDP Select trial is over...
you know where to find me next. Back to deviantArt and
RedBubble, too...
Till we meet again, we'll keep in touch...and
diè wåde.
