SMASHWORDS Summer Sale Results

The 2016 SMASHWORDS promotion is ending in a few hours and once again it has been a big success. The trend this year was for readers to download the other books in the series besides book 1 - The Juno Letters - an indication there were a lot of return readers. I was especially pleased with the results for the last published book, The Shadow's Speed. It was the most downloaded book of the series for the month of July.

Concurrent with the SMASHWORDS promo was the release of the working draft of The Bishop's Ring. Fifty-four readers opted to take a look at this work in progress in July - up considerably from the draft for Shadow when I first started offering this version. I have had a lot of helpful comments and a couple of "What the heck?" questions. I will be posting the next upgrade hopefully by the first week of August and will continue to offer First Look options on future works.

Thanks to all of you who jumped on either one of these offers. You referrals to family and friends form the background of The Juno Letter's success in the crowded e-book marketplace.
