The Portal Between
The Kindle store for Amazon UK is so new that these initial sales are the time when a few sales will rocket a title up the charts more than they will in a month or two when it’s all settled down. So I know these figures and rankings are a little unrealistic and do reflect the time in which they stand.
But I was still number 92 for a while and that really made my day.
I’ve entered The Portal Between into a competition, this competition. I haven’t won or even got through the first round yet, but YOU can have a prize…
The deadline for judging the first round is in a few days and to celebrate/commiserate I’ve decided to put the price of my e-books down to $0.99 (yes, that’s US Dollars/Cents) on ALL e-reader formats including basic pdf and html webpage so you can read on your home computer, laptop or portable e-reader – whichever you prefer.
Both The Portal Between and The Portal Sundered will stay at $0.99 at Smashwords, until I either win or get culled from the competition – so grab yours fast in case I don’t last long! It could be as soon as Feb 25th or as long as June 14th.
Oh and review would be very welcome on the Amazon page, thanks..
The Portal Sundered is fully on Amazon.com – all there, cover image, search inside, showing as In Stock, all present and correct. All that’s missing is a sales history.
It is! Last week it appeared on Amazon.com and today it’s popped up on Amazon.co.uk, The Book Depository, Barnes & Noble.
There are now four reviews on Amazon and they’re ALL good!
Sarah’s book moves from the cosiness of day to day life into the realms of magic and back again with characters so well brought to life that you can see them (well I can !!). I am very much looking forward to the next book Fiona xxx
Thanks Fiona.
We’ve got a new review on Amazon….
“I enjoyed this and eagerly await book 2 from Sarah. The characters are likable and dont take the conventional route. The start moved off in a different direction than i had started to imagine so it kept me hooked to the end.”
Thanks E Boden! Book 2 should be available for Christmas with a bit of luck and a lot of hard work.
I got my retail sales figures through and it was five. But who sold those five books? Was it Amazon? Was it Tesco? Waterstones? Because some of them were people I vaguely know, I know that two at least were through Amazon, but the others? I’d like to be able to track where sales are happening so that I can target any marketing I do.
So, this email from Lulu is very welcome indeed! (more…)
