Preorders are the da bomb!
So, just curious. I plan to keep my books on sale through Valentine's Day. Is anyone else keeping their books on sale and for how long? Or do your books change to normal tonight?Poll time! hahaha
By the way, I had fun with you, ladies!
Mod
It has been sooo much fun!!

Mine goes up to $2.99 for the 14th and then back to $4.99 on the 15th @ midnight. I also don't wear glasses. Or contacts. My eyes are perfect. So take that! TAKE IT!!
*ahem*
Mine was a freebie promo and I set it for the two days of the event, goes back to regular price / KU at midnight. With the weekend downloads I peaked at #3 in my subgenre though! Woot woot!!
It's been a rollicking good time ladies! Can't wait for next time ;)
I haven't decided, but I think I'm going to switch the price over asap, so I can get the benefit of being higher in the ranks at the better price.
Mod
#3 is stupendous! Congrats!!
@Miss Aislinn: Yeah, when I wasn't on Select, I changed it back ASAP. That 35% royalty just hurts my capitalist soul XP
@Miss Julie: You actually did better than #72. Check this screenshot...
Truth be told, I took it cuz I was #69 on the same row as you with Mark Twain in the middle. He be pimpin'. Tee hee.

That's so cool you and Julie were ranking together!
Well, I was probably gonna do a little blog post tomorrow about my books still being on sale. I'll add you ladies that will still have your book on sale. So anyone who didn't answer, let me know and you'll be added!
Mod
Plus it was a lovely ménage à trois. I mean, who doesn't love a Twain sammich, eh? XP

Here is my latest twitter post. I have been negligent in posting the links to my posts on here, so I figured I would give you guys one.https://twitter.com/authorASMcGowan/s...

Okay, I'm sharing my peak ranks cuz, well, they made me squeal like a piggy haha! No, really. And yeah, I take a lot of screenshots. A LOT. Don't judge me. Thanks.

Wahoo! Way to go Mistress Ann! Party time, excellent!
Way to go Annie. Looks like you will be grabbing an All Star bonus check with those stats. Mine are not as good as yours but I am excited that I did move up some in ranking since this event. Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #164,803 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#7003 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Romance > Mystery & Suspense > Suspense
#8970 in Books > Romance > Romantic Suspense
Mod
May not seem high/low to some but that's the best rank I have ever had with my books so I am super excited! Plus this book was released 4 days ago so yeah I am all kinds of happy right now!
It's been fun ladies! So glad everyone had good numbers!!!
Congratulations to you all! I had purchased some of the books in this promotion during the last promotion. This time, I used the random name picker to select three books for me:http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-nam...
So I ended up buying: Start Over: A Novel (Start Again Series #2)
Station Alpha: (Soldiering On #1)
Throne of Grace (Cliff Walk Courtships Book 1)
Yay for me. Hope you ladies will share your final numbers and sales, especially if there are any All Stars.
It's been fun and thanks for inviting me to help you promote.
My author rank is up to #295 in All Books > Kindle eBooks > Romance > Mystery & Suspense > Suspense. Pretty happy with that! For the book itself:
#109 in Books > Romance > Multicultural
#239 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Romance > Military
So close to cracking the top 100! Lol.
I sold 74 copies of my sale book today, but like Annie did yesterday I bought a Bargain Booksy placement for today. (I think you also got another one? Was it Freebooksy? I saw the emails!)
I only sold 4 copies of my full priced sequel across the weekend, and got a couple of preorders for book 3, but all sales matter!
I was much happier with how today went than yesterday haha. Thanks for all your hard work ladies! It's been great fun!
Oh, thanks so much, Kathy!! I hope you enjoy it!
Mod
Annnd congrats on the ranks! Super duper close to Top 100!!

Hart of His @ $2.99 (not in event & zero promos)
~ Feb 11th: 31 copies sold & 727 pages read
~ Feb 12th: 5 copies sold & 2,334 pages read
~ this little gremlin's under 100 pages so that's why pages read are always much lower than the other one *smirks*
In a Flash @ FREE (not in event & zero promos)
~ Feb 11th: 52 DLs
~ Feb 12th: 47 DLs
~ since I just changed the cover on this bugger, I haven't a clue if the increase (from 20-25 DLs per day normally) is a result of an event or the cover. My guess is a mix of both but who knows? LOL

Great job, everyone!!! I didn't write down my highest (lowest??) ranking, but I was 46,567 in the Amazon Sales Rank and today I am 89,368 in Author Ranking. I've never been below 100k in either. So I'll take it!
Also, I've been looking at everyone's genres and sub genres. Amazon didn't even give me those options (i.e. literary something something). I'm going to investigate if I should change mine. I vaguely remember reading that they've altered them slightly.
Happy Monday!

Hey now! We're sandwiching Mark Twain!! Thanks for sending that along, I never saw that so that makes me smiles. For several reasons actually ; )
Nicely done everyone!!! I really don't have the stamina in me to go through and figure out everything.
Saturday: 62 sales 1082 read pages
Sunday: 17 sales 1070 read pages
According to Mistress Ann I made it to #67
For contemporary romance my author rank was 812. Absolutely no complaints from me! And now I shall dwindle back down to my norm... nowhere near any of that.
Nice work everyone. Seems like everyone had some really nice numbers. That's so amazing.
To our very special and talented and incredible mods: Princess, Queen & Mistress... THANK YOU!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
