When I put 4 Gigs out for free, I hoped it would help me connect with some readers, and I'm delighted it connected with you (though I'm sorry it kept you up into the morning reading. OK, not too sorry...especially if you can take a nap and recoup some of that missing sleep. :-) I'm on the homestretch for the next one, <em>The Postman Always Shoots Twice</em>. I hope to get it to my editor in the next week and have it uploaded to Amazon by Labor Day. Well...that's the plan anyway! I hope you will enjoy it as well.

Something else comes from this KDP experiment. I was one of the people that downloaded it in March, after seeing it on Pixel of Ink, if I remember correctly. I have a lot of books, so I just got to starting reading it yesterday (and finishing it this morning!). And I can honestly say I enjoyed it (no other way would I still be up at 6am, finishing a book, instead of in bed, asleep). So while I may have gotten this book for free during the promotion, it made me discover you. And since I liked 4 Gigs of Trouble, you've been added to my 'authors to read' list; Authors I check from time to time to see if they're released new books, and then buy those books to read. So I may have gotten 4 Gigs of Trouble for free, but now you've got a new fan that will check out your books when they come out. I know this post is over 4 months old, but I had to add something.

Got a resolution? by Gail Baugniet http://www.stellabaker.com/blog/29/happy-new-year-got-a-resolution/#comment-266 Gail Baugniet Sat, 14 Jan 2012 19:45:29 +0000 http://www.stellabaker.com/blog/?p=29#comment-266 Hi Stella, I came across your blog site via a post on Goodreads where you used the phrase "strong female protagonists". Happy New Year to you and best of luck with your newly crafted marketing plan! One of my 2012 goals is to interview independent authors who have published their first mystery/suspense novel (possibly of a planned series) featuring a strong female protagonist. Please check out my site and let me know if you would be interested in participating. http://gail-baugniet.blogspot.com/2012/01/indie-author-interviews-in-hottub-not.html Aloha, Gail Hi Stella,
