Always Giving Stuff Away

Updated on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 7:18AM by Catherine

Here we go again. I'm guessing this will not be getting tedious for my readers, as, if I'm going to keep repeating myself, the repetition should be something along the lines of, "I've got more free stuff for you."

The US ebook of my novel SECOND HAND HEART just went on a 5-day free promotion. (Sorry UK readers, UK editions belong to Transworld/Random House Group--love them, but can't give their stuff away.)

If you're in the US, just go get one. Easy. And everyone who wants one can have one.

But while we're at it, I want to do another $25 Amazon gift card giveaway for reviewers. This is fairly simple as well. Grab a free copy of the

Beautiful Natural World

Truth be told, I haven't been out in it much lately. I was home with my mom 24 hours a day for a while. And now I'm having a little trouble getting back on my feet, though I'm planning a couple of hiking getaways soon. I've had to completely rethink the schedule, as I now need to keep myself almost entirely to hikes that allow dogs. No more leaving Ella in the motorhome with my mom.

Anyway, while I was stuck indoors, I put together a second slideshow of some of my nature shots. The first "Beautiful World" slideshow had travel shots, including man-made sights. This one is nature-only.

If you're stuck inside today, here's a way to remember what a beautiful world we live in:

But There's Still the Gift Card

When I last blogged about the ebook edition of my novel WHEN I FOUND YOU, it was just about to go on a 5-day free promotion on Amazon.

I'm pleased to say that promotion went well. Amazingly well. I mean...you could have knocked me over with a feather. That well.

It hit #1 in Kindle Free, with over 81,000 copies downloaded. When the promotion ended, it climbed up to #12 in Kindle Paid. The combination of the free downloads and actual sales numbers created a “popularity” rating of #3 in the Kindle store as a whole, #5 on all of Amazon books. I was hovering between two Hunger Games books on the Kindle main page. It was a heady experience.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 people have downloaded the WHEN I FOUND YOU ebook.
