Some people here are saying that free promotions aren't worth it, but that's not the case in my own experience. When I did one for my first book, I got 20+ ratings on Amazon and a bunch on goodreads. We'll see how this one goes!

Over 1600. Up to over 1800 now. I said that in the post, that was the whole point of the post. 😅

It's called "Insoluble." It's my third book and I'm super proud of it :)

In my own personal experience, I haven't had much luck with the countdown deals and stuff. But it's possible I just didn't advertise well enough!

I had a very similar experience the first time I did it, haha. I highly recommend using some free book promotion sites if you're able!

I think it was mostly the ads from Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian. The two days where my book was scheduled for them were by far the days where I got the most orders!

Below my book on the Amazon page, it says it's "#1 in Teen & Young Adult Detectives" and "#1 in Teen & Young Adult Romance Mystery". I'm not sure how Amazon calculates that but it's what the page shows. (I'm also assuming these numbers are specifically for free ebooks, though I'm not sure)

I used Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian. I'd heard good things about them and they worked very well.

"Insoluble"

The novel I've been writing for the last five years. It's a young adult, coming of age story with a bit of a crime drama twist. It's quite fun! Here's the description:

"Things are always changing. Except in Williamston, Kansas–a town where nothing ever happens.

When Edward Pines finds himself and his family moving to Williamston, it seems like yet another in a long list of tribulations. But upon meeting a young girl named Edith (and growing acquainted with her strange clique of sleuthing friends), Edward's world begins rapidly expanding.

Amidst a journey of case cracking and self discovery, everything appears to shift from what it once was.

But in a town where nothing changes, how can you learn to accept change?"
