"Subtraction" Free promotion
I ran a 5-day free promotion of my 60s Las Vegas crime novel Subtraction from 30 Nov-4 Dec
I'm not a marketing genius, and it was publicised mainly via Facebook & Twitter
The total downloads were 5673 made up as follows
USA 2636
UK 2975
DE 15
FR 4
IT 4
JP 3
IN 12
CA 27
AU 7
The good citizens of Brazil, Mexico & (my country of residence) Spain were not impressed.
Downloads peaked in the USA on Day 1, in the UK on Day 2. Best day was day 2 with around 1350, worst was day 4 with around 990
It was #1 in its 2 categories (Hard-boiled & Historical Crime) in the UK virtually the whole time. Also got to #1 in both categories in the USA. Made#11 in the entire Amazon free chart and into the top 150 for a bit in the USA
Thanks to all who shared, retweeted & of course downloaded.
Now to see if anyone reads it, tells all their friends, buys my other 12 etc etc etc

I would have got it as well mate, but you know, amazon doesn't agree with me buying e-books. :(
I downloaded (on Maria's recommendation) and am preparing to read now. Looking forward to this as you caught my attention with the first line!

I have faith that this will only get better!
