Please Fill Out My Short Questionnaire

Thanks for all your support, everyone.  Yesterday was a big success, getting even more copies out there in the world than before.  It's getting close to time to write episode #2 and I'd love to have as much actionable feedback as possible so, if you have read Sleight of Mind #1 and haven't filled out this very short questionnaire, please do it now.  Your feedback is what I depend upon to improve my offerings.

Thanks.

A Change in Policy

On the advice of other people who've successfully sold self-published stories, I'm going to stop doing the "free every Saturday" thing.  You get a limited number of free promotion days and apparently they work better if done consecutively.

So I'm going to switch over to doing a weekend (Sat-Sun) free, followed by a long weekend (Fri-Sun) free.

Just don't want anyone to be surprised.

At least, not by policy changes.  :)

Less Than an Hour to Get Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party

There's less than an hour left but, until the day is over, Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party is free. If you don't have it or you picked it up before I added Daniel's field notes, go grab it now.

...and, when you're done reading it, don't forget to take the short survey that helps me improve this product.  You'll find it here.

How to Get an Updated Version of Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party

Today is a "free promotion day" for Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party. That means you can get it for free. It also means that, if you got it before I added Daniel's field notes, you can get an updated version. Here's how I did it:

  1. Go to the Kindle Management Site (for me, that was at https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage)
  2. Delete Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party from the Kindle library (use the actions... button)
  3. Delete Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party from my device
  4. Wait a little while (15 minutes for me)
  5. Go and "re-purchase" the latest version of the story - today that's free, so your purchase price is nothing
That's all it took for me.  If you have another method, I'd like to hear about it.

Sleight of Mind #1 Is Free Today

Sleight of Mind #1: Crashing the Party  is free today.  If you haven't got it, go grab it now.  When you're done, remember to take this five question survey.

If you downloaded Sleight of Mind #1 before I added Daniel's field notes, be sure to get the latest version now.  It won't cost you anything and you should be able to update your version without involving support - though I can't guarantee that, as I don't work for Amazon and am still learning their system.
