Thanks Alan. Writing novels is certainly the hardest work I've ever done in terms of intensity of thought and intellectual effort, but I would do it even if there was never even a possibility of remuneration. I suspect I'm not alone in feeling that way.
It's gratifying to know that people are reading one's work and some are actually enjoying it. It sure beats stashing a manuscript away in a box somewhere.
Along those lines, another variable I'm experimenting with is how much of a free sample to offer to get someone hooked on a story. Right now I'm offering 75%, thinking that might entice some people to download who otherwise wouldn't want to go through the trouble of registering. Is that ludicrous or not?
