Henderson Smith's Blog: The Beginning... - Posts Tagged "giveaway-results"

So, with 8 days left for the sign-up for my giveaway, over 600 magical readers have entered! I wish I could afford to send every single person a copy! Thank you for your interest. I know I have a wonderful story...now to get it into your capable hands. Thank you!

I am so overwhelmed with the fantastic results of my first book giveaway. Nevermind that no one reads this blog, and I feel like I'm blogging in space where no one can hear you scream - I'm screaming with happiness. Okay, so it's a giveaway, and who knows who will end up checking out my book? But, just over 1,600 readers have now seen the title, seen the cover and good things must come out of that. And 748 readers actually put it on their "to read" shelf and it's going to sit there and maybe some of them will actually decide to read it.

So, I'll send out my book to the lucky 20 winners tomorrow and who knows what will happen? Remember if you had one reader and doubled your results everyday (1,2,4,8 etc.), you would have a billion readers at the end of 30 days. Not that I'll double every day, I just always liked that statistic. Now, to see if they will actually post a review and, of course, I hope they are great reviews.

Thank you for participating and thank Goodreads for providing this exposure to so many readers to me. What a marvelous time to be an author.

Or should I say, Olive's tribe? Sending out the books to the winners of my second give away and hoping they find a great home with these readers. It's all up to the readers, obviously, to determine Olive's future. So, hoping they will read the book, review the book and love the book! Olive needs to find her tribe - will you join her?

Big numbers and big book numbers to mail out now - 100 copies! Now, if only they will review my book and post it on Goodreads AND Amazon, then it will all be worth it. It's hard finding a place to show the world my beautiful ugly princess...but with the right help...fingers crossed...she will find her audience!
