Leap Day Promotion – The Silence of Trees FREE for Kindle until March 1st

Posted on

As a special 2012 Leap Day promotion, my novel The Silence of Trees is available for FREE on Kindle Monday, February 27 until the end of Leap Day. After 11:59pm on February 29th, the price will go up to $4.99. (The Silence of Trees will still be available for free on the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library.)

The Silence of Trees is a historical novel of magic realism set in Eastern Europe during WWII and modern-day Chicago. You can read reviews here or go to Amazon, where there are more than 100 customer reviews (thank you, readers!).

In 2011, The Silence of Trees reached the Top 100 for Paid Kindle books. Thank you to everyone for spreading the word! Let’s see if we can do it again and reach the Top 100 in 2012!

Stay tuned for an announcement about the audiobook soon to be released by Iambik Audio!

First exciting news of the week…my sister gave birth to her second daughter, and she is a beautiful, healthy baby!We are all excited and proud and so grateful!

Next, book update! I know it’s just a number, but it’s happy news:

The Silence of Trees broke into the TOP 100 of all Paid kindle books today (#97 when last I checked)! I guess that makes me an official Kindle Bestseller!

It’s also ranked #5 of all Historical Fiction!

Yesterday I happened to peek at the ranking for The Silence of Trees on Amazon, and I saw that it had jumped up to the top 40 in Historical Fiction for Kindle!

By midnight tonight, these were the rankings:

How exciting to be in the top 20 Kindle Bestsellers in Historical Fiction! For small presses and “new” authors, one of our greatest challenges is getting attention. Luckily the internet and e-books have helped!

Thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy  The Silence of Trees, and many thanks to those who have reviewed it on Amazon, Goodreads, and spread the word on blogs, facebook, and twitter.

A special thank you to those of you who have ordered it for your local libraries. This makes me especially happy! Anyone can request a copy for their branch. It doesn’t cost you anything, and it helps the book to read an even wider audience.

Every little bit helps, and I am so grateful!
