Good luck! Hope it goes well for you...I'm already drunk, and from more than just the grog. Hard for me to believe my books are sitting next to Neil Gaiman and J.K. Rowling, even if it's only for a few hours, lol.

(Virtual) drinks for everyone!

How did the Freebooksy go Pauline?

Good luck! Using the 5 free days on a Bookbub on a second day of 5 sounds risky, not being at a good rank when it goes back to paid. I am so happy you got accepted. Might have a drink with you lol.

If there is anything I can do to help let me know. You have submitted with us over the years and would love to help you out.

It gave me 2,500 downloads, and got me to #42 in the free list, so I'm very happy with that.

Yes, it's a risk, but my main objective is to shift as many free books as possible. I've found from previous free runs that if I leave it free after a major promo, I get a lot of downloads on the second and third days too. With Freebooksy, it's 25% on the day after a promo, and 25% of that on the third. With a Bookbub, that's a lot of extra downloads, if it works the same way. Then I'll make some money from the sell-through (I hope!).

Vinny, you're so kind! Just have that drink with me. I hate drinking alone.

Good numbers so far, Pauline. Hope you have a cracking day today (like cracking the Top 10 in your cat  ) and the hangover ain't too bad tomorrow.

Go, girl, go! You're going to be awesome!

Wow, 63 rejections and you kept going.
You go girl 
You deserve a few million downloads for that kind of tenacity!

I was aiming for 100. But yes, I'm living proof that if you keep submitting, one day they just may say yes.

yes! Hope sell-through is great and you see some action as it hits pop list.

As to the many submissions you've done, you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket, right? Well done for persevering!

Exactly! As the very wise Patty Jansen always says, just keep banging in the submissions and one day you may get a surprise. And I did.

My first US BookBub is today as well.
