My next experiment

I've gone to the dark side...I suppose you could say that. After watching and listening to a lot of indie authors weigh in on the pros and cons of Amazon's KDP Select program, I decided to give it a shot with my next release.

KEN'JA is a previously released short story [12,000] words, that I decided to put up at Amazon exclusively for $0.99. Despite hearing a lot of bad press about the $0.99 price point, I didn't really feel right about charging more for such a short story. I know people do, and they get away with it, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

So here's the beginning of my experiment. The book went live on the evening of May 14th and as of this writing [24 hours later] I've sold 7 copies with ZERO promo. [No borrows yet].

I'll weigh in over time and let you know how the book is doing. I don't plan any extraordinary promo for this one, just a blog post or two and an announcement on my Yahoo group. The current rank, after one day is 29,450.
