    Re: My Wife Wrote a Book

    For the record, your wife wrote a good book. Change the title of the thread!

    Glad that I got to read it (a few times)! I'm wishing your wife a ton of success and glad to hear that she's still writing all the time!

    We're trying to find that out. A few people have asked about making it available for Amazon UK (we didn't even think about it originally) but we noticed a couple orders were from there so not sure how it's available for some but not all.

    Thanks, Erica!

    She just had another 5 star review posted today so that's pretty exciting.

    And I don't know how to change thread titles, lol

    If I changed it to "good book" someone might think she wrote the Bible.

    So I went with published.

    The first couple chapters of the book are up (for FREE) at Scribd.com. Just follow the link and enjoy. Don't forget to 'rate' it, too, please.

    Re: My Wife Published a Book

    Andrew, have you thought about paying for a daily Kindle ad? A few years ago, a friend paid for one (about $80 back then) to run one day and made her money back in 2-3 days. So you might want to check on what Amazon's offering now.

    Goodreads also seems to have an advertising setup. It's a little bit more pricey but I'm thinking of trying it for my alternate history series, just to see if I can get more interest. Goodreads seems to be where the readers are. I did a giveaway there for my print version of Eagle of Seneca and got over 400 people who entered. Which is pretty good free name recognition.

    Good ideas. She's on Goodreads and Booksie so I can give all three a look. Doesn't hurt.

    It should be easy to get that fixed, right?
