Gene,
Have you ever heard of Operation Ebook Drop? I don't know if it is
still around but I can easily find out. It was run my a novelist named
Edward C. Patterson. He convinced authors of books on Smashwords.com to
donate copies of their ebooks... I did this when my books were all indie
published. My first, AN INVOLUNTARY KING went to about 400 vets
overseas primarily. Parents would buy their sons and daughters a
Kindle and then Patterson would send out the email addresses of the
servicemen and women's emails . We sent them each an email about the
book with a code that allowed them to download the book from
www.smashwords.com with a 100% discount. I am not sure I can do it now
that I have an actual publisher, but I will find out.
I was happy to do it. the facti s that fewer than 2 per cent of books
"sell" more than 500 copies, and that 400 plus knocked my book over that
number.
That book, a 600 plus page tome, takes place in Anglo Saxon England
about 100 years before Cornwell's Uhtred series, is available through
the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library which is one of the
state libraries that allow people from other states to borrow books. It
is narrated. It is not GLBT. It is under my old name, Nan Hawthorne.
I can get the shelf number for anyone who wants it.
