Help!

Hey there, and a big thank you to everyone who joined in on the giveaway for The Broken Traveler.

Thankfully, it wasn't too much of a hit on the wallet, but it does make me wonder: how close are we to that tipping point? And why the somewhat plaintive title, "Help"?

Hey, it's Hugo here. Even though my days are jam-packed, I figured I'd squeeze in a quick update for Goodreads.

Now, you might be wondering why I'm always pressed for time. Well, on one hand, I'm knee-deep in trying to drum up some buzz for The Broken Traveler, and on the other hand, I'm deep in the trenches of novel writing, aiming to get it out by the year's end.

But let me explain why I titled this post "Help." I've been wondering: where are all the amazing folks who snagged the free Kindle version of my memoir?

The giveaway meant a lot to me for two reasons:

Firstly, I'm hoping it'll get more eyes on the story. I won't lie, if this is your kind of read, you're gonna love The Broken Traveler. Maybe it'll even shine a light on something for you.

And secondly, by handing out a hundred free Kindle copies on Goodreads and Amazon, I was hoping to rack up some reviews. Turns out, reviews are pretty darn important for getting noticed on Amazon.

But here's the thing, The Broken Traveler is still flying under the radar. Let's change that. Let's bring this story out into the open, where others can discover it, talk about it, and hopefully, enjoy it.

So, my friend, that's why I called this post "Help."

Feel free to share this around and get more people in on the conversation.

Got any questions? Shoot!

Catch you later, The Broken Traveler: A Memoir of Heartbreak, Healing and Adventure

Another round on me!

Hey there, did you happen to enter the giveaway where we generously handed out 100 e-books to those who participated in this Goodreads-organized extravaganza?

But luck wasn't on your side?

No worries, my friend. For a limited time only, we're giving away The Broken Traveler: A Memoir of Heartbreak, Healing and Adventure for Free!

What's the catch, you ask?

This offer might stretch the budget a bit, so it's exclusively for Amazon Prime Members.

Just click on this link .(Grab Your Free copy Now!) right here. And if this is your kind of read, I'm sure you'll repay the favor with an honest review.

That way, we both come out on top.

Thanks for taking the time to read The Broken Traveler.

Yours faithfully,

Hugo Smienk
