BREAKING NEWS: New six star review from book blogger Kate’s Reads for Fatal Exchange.

******************************

Hello everyone. This is just a quick appeal for you to help me greatly by spending just a few short moments of your time assisting with my new thriller trilogy, Zero Sum.

It requires nothing from you except a few mouse clicks.

The first book in the series has always been intended as a free book – Kotov Syndrome. The problem is that Amazon won’t allow you to list a free book. So I had to upload it to Smashwords, who then distributes it to Barnes and Noble, where it is now free.

Which is where you come in.

Please go to the Amazon page for Zero Sum, Book 1 – Kotov Syndrome, and notify them that it is free on Barnes and Noble. you can do that by going to the Amazon page, here, and selecting “Tell us about a lower price” – a link on the left side about halfway down the page under the current ranking. If you will simply do that, indicating it’s no cost at B&N, hopefully Amazon should price match it after sufficient uproar, and I can begin marketing the series as it was intended to be marketed.

The Barnes and Noble link to the book is here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/zero-sum-book-one-kotov-syndrome-russell-blake/1106551756?ean=2940011526879&itm=1&usri=russell%2bblake

I would very much appreciate it if you’d do this for me now. Thanks in advance. And if you could do this once a day or so until they figure it out, even better.

    I clicked the ‘tell us about a lower price, but couldn’t see where to write it. The page looked the same.

    Could you let us know a bit more about the sale or freebie features at Amazon? There is a minor tempest brewing on Goodreads in regard to it. Further discussion in Amazon threads. Starting to sound like a bigfoot myth and/or sighting.

      I was told by a friend that if Barnes had your book for free, and enough people complained to Amazon, they would match the price. There is no policy to match prices – it’s up to them, so alas, you can’t force them to do it. They just have to see it’s a good idea.

    Wow Russell, I did it too and I don’t even know you! However, I am curious to see if this will actually work.
    Let me know how it goes and say thanks!

    I’m curious to find out what blog platform you have been working with? I’m experiencing some small security problems
    with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe.
    Do you have any suggestions?
