It's an opportunity for Amazon customers to purchase/download a couple of books (a single book in the UK version of the program) at a reduced price, one month prior to the book's official publication date. When Jason Kirk, my editor at Amazon's 47North imprint, asked me if I'd like to participate in Kindle first, I found his offer quite difficult to refuse--although it would delay the official publication date by a few weeks, being part of Kindle First would place my silly story in front of potentially hundreds of thousands of readers in both the US and UK. Being included in Kindle First is a huge deal for an unknown debut author like myself, and to Jason I pass my heartfelt thanks for pushing THE GEMINI EFFECT out to so many potential readers. I also need to thank him for the words he added to the book's product page (which I saw on the UK page for the very first time when the book popped-up across the pond yesterday evening):
So, how does Kindle First work? Simple. You can find THE GEMINI EFFECT HERE on the US site, and HERE on the UK site. By buying the book at the reduced price during the month of March, you join a free Kindle First email notification program, where each month you'll receive an email listing that month's selections. Below I've listed the rules for both the US and UK sites:

Chuck, I just had the pleasure of reading your novel and let me just say, WOW! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and your descriptive writing style. I downloaded the book and finished it in less than three days, considering I don't read often, that is incredible! I could not put it down! Thanks for such a great story and I'll look forward to more to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wes! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
