I am about to put my novel, RUN, up there for free and see if it has similar results. <br /><br />:)Kathryn C.

You mentioned the need for promotion and this is a biggie. John 316 members have provided suggestions to help promote your free days. Also, some of us are seeing dwindling results over time and trying skipping a 90-day period all together to see if that helps. I've had more than 72,000 of my first two books downloaded and increased sales have followed each free period.Sidney W.
