David, fantastic list, thanks. Steve Lake, I think you're right, I've given away quite a few shorts and had stacks of downloads, very few of those have become readers though. I'm giving it one last punt, an event from the back story of my novel written up as a free short, if they like it, then they might buy the novel. I am beginning to think that the old Seth Godin thing about personal recommendation is probably right. People love my book, they'll tell their friends and it will take a while but... the trick is to make sure the book is good! ;-) And the next one.
Cheers
MTM
