In the interest of trying to get more reviews, I'm offering 100 copies of my book Back to Santa Fe, a modern-day, Southwestern mystery, free through Library Thing for a month. It's available in any eBook format you prefer. If any Litopians have an interest, here's the link (scroll down to find the title...): http://t.co/Bz1w3IpLDw

Giveaways and 99cent sales have been only partially useful for my titles. Have any Litopians found them a good tool? Maybe they work best in specific genres?

It's certainly very hit and miss. My publisher has sometimes had a big success with 99p sales on Kindle (deal of the day/week kind of thing), because if you get enough momentum it pushes you well up the ranking so you end up appearing like one of mine does here:

... and that visibility makes a lot of difference. If something becomes that visible, you can easily get sales in 4 figures during the promotion, and then continuing to sell much faster than previously when back at full price - perhaps for another month.

However I've also had ebooks they've done the 99p thing with and it has sold maybe 100 extra copies. So it's a gamble, but certainly can work.
 
I have been vaguely wondering about giving away an ebook version of my first novel. I guess it can't hurt and with two other novels available (and a third soon), it could help sales with those. Certainly worth considering.

Thank you, I look forward to reading it.
