This morning, just twelve hours ago, my e-book went on Amazon's KDP FREE book promotion program for two days. In that time I've had almost 60 free downloads, netting me zero dollars in royalties... but during that time my book has up-ranked from somewhere in the top eighty thousand e-books to the top five thousand, and is now #14 in time travel science fiction e-books. Still deciding if the promotion is worth it, I'll repost to this thread as time rolls on (no pun intended).
