Adventuring still

Marketing efforts for 'Threshold' ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007C3QHBE ) still on. Day 2 of the promo offer on Amazon. So far, I'm satisfied with the results. Now, I'm no marketing expert, so it's a slow progress. Let me give you a recap of yesterday's results.

Since my free promo, downloads have shot up. My ranking on the Amazon Kindle store is steadily rising. I have one review so far. I don't want to turn this into a numbers game. But it feels good to know my book is in the hands of readers.

For a writer, being read is paramount (and not just by your spouse, sister in law or aunt). The opinions of total strangers who read and comment, hopefully constructively, is important to me. No one is in the writing business to make money unless they are JK Rowling or Patricia Cornwell or Mary Higgins Clarke.

Just the fact that readers can hear me, contemplate my point of view which I try to work into my stories, is enough to spur me on. This is a personal viewpoint of course. Some writers may disagree.

But for the time being, I'm happy being read and reviewed!
