My suspense/romance, LIE
CATCHERS makes its KDP debut on December 27, with its free days February
11-15. Now, the free days sound
well-placed (around Valentine’s Day), but how in the world will I bring attention to a
book that says ‘look at me!’ at such a busy time in everyone’s lives?
Add more challenges: this is
my first KDP/free days experience. One of the reasons I took the responsibility of
collating all that information about KDP and free days (for Wild Rose Press) was
to make use of it myself. Holy cow, the
pressure’s on to follow my own directions!
So what would you do in my
situation regarding my date of release?
Wait to do the happy dance after New Years Day or go ahead and build
some buzz before December 27 (which is what we usually do before a release)?
Your advice, my friends?
Two
unsolved murders will tear apart an Alaska fishing town unless a writer and a
government agent reveal their secret obsessions.
Treasury
agent Parker Browne is working undercover in Petersburg, Alaska to investigate
a money scam and a murder. His prime suspect, Liv Hanson, is a freelance writer
struggling to save her family’s business. Free spirited, full of life, and with
a talent for catching liars, she fascinates Parker.
Trying
to prove she’s a legitimate writer who cares about Petersburg’s issues, Liv
pens a series of newspaper articles about an old, unsolved murder. When her
cold case ties in with Parker’s investigation, bullets start to fly.
Parker
understands money trails, and Liv knows the town residents. But he gave up on
love two years ago, and she trusts no one, especially with her carefully
guarded secret. If they mesh their skills to find the killers, will they
survive the fallout?

Yippee! I found a 'twin' writer with the same release day and free days...we will stand shoulder to shoulder on this challenge!
Hi Release Day Twin! I'm going with somehow building some buzz for my contemporary romance Summertime Dream before, perhaps a countdown, and then doing some steady varieties of promo from the release date onwards. The plus side of the 27th is people have gift cards to spend on books :)I'm definitely looking for new promo suggestions.
Make that triplets! I also have a December 27th release.
It's a tough time, but it might also be a good time. It's post holidays, people are relaxing, they may have a few holiday gift cards as Babette mentions. *grin*
I've planned a couple of blog posts/interviews. Sent out a couple of PDF's for reads/reviews. I may hire a tweeting service to blast it one day. Other than that I'll do the usual notices on social media and hope for the best. I'm putting most of my promo dollars on the free days.
It sounds like you all have this figured out. People have time off, do a lot of digesting, and spending of gift cards. Wishes for enchanted sales!
