WINNERS and REALBIES

Today is the best part of a giveaway. It’s a lot like Chrismakah. Its more fun to give than it is to receive. Its also great to say ‘thank you’ to those who helped out with the party.

Last week, Secondhand Shoes actually had a spot at the top of the Amazon list. The book fluctuated between 13 and 15 for two days. YAY! Now to get it back that way. **shrugs***

Anyway, I’ll do my ‘thank yous’ first. These were the REALBIES who helped (remember the blogosphere is full of peeps like these-YOU, and its almost impossible to help every author out there):

Alex J. Cavanaugh

Siv Ottem

Julie Flanders

Julie Kemp Pick

Klahanie

Lorelei Bell

William Kendall

Kimberly Gabriel

E.J. Wesley

Michelle Wallace

Norma Beishir

Sean McLachlan

NOW FOR THE WINNERS!

The two peeps who won the 15 dollar Amazon cards are:

Angryparsnips

Michael Di Gesu

The peeps who won an autographed copy of Secondhand Shoes is:

Laura

Gwen Gardner

I’ll be getting in contact with these winners soon.

This afternoon I’ll be visiting the grandbabies.

Hugs and chocolate,

Shelly

  10. Shelly, lowering your ebook price was a very smart move. I see a huge difference in your ranking now.

    It's a good book. It just has to find its audience.

    1. Norma:

      I'll be experimenting with the price. I've got it back at 4.99. Had it at 1.99 for 7 days and it did nothing. Right now, its at the bottom of the Amazon list. ***shrugs*** I need to finish book 2.

      Will stay positive though. I just got L. Diane Wolfe's book on how to promote your book. Excited to see what I glean from it.
