Marc,
Just a quick look at yours (it's late). I've 'liked' it, but put some tags on (apparently they're important for searches 'n' rankings), then I'll 'agree' with them to give it a boost. Nice cover BTW.
Having said that...here are my links :D ...

An exciting mystery romance set on the wild North Cornish coast....
When Sarah Daniels moves to a small Cornish seaside village, her next-door neighbour local handyman and champion surfer, Ben Trelawny is intrigued. He falls in love with her stunning looks and quirky ways but their meetings are brief and abrupt.
Who is this woman who locks herself away in her cottage, why is she getting mail addressed to a completely different person and what secret history is she trying to conceal?
Just as Ben thinks he is starting to get past Sarahs barriers, a shocking event threatens to change their lives forever. When a national newspaper reporter arrives in the village, Sarah disappears, making a decision that puts both her life and future in jeopardy.

Midia, I'm looking forward to reading yours. It's on my list.
Hope it's not too 'gritty' for you (EEK).
I was actually born in Hope Hospital, Salford, innit!
;)
You can download it for free to your laptop or to an iphone/android phone ttofee.
Great stuff everyone !
My list of "ebooks to read" is getting longer by the day - almost as long as my "real books to read".
Am in the process of putting a poetry anthology onto Kindle - you can be sure you will hear more of this on here soon !
:)
Brilliant stories guys well done
Can you explain this for me, please. Tags?
You're officially a diamond! ;)
Really pleased you liked it.
Cheers,
Col
If you scroll down below your book description, you can easily add relevant 'tags' to describe your product and assist people searching for books like yours (under those tags). Mine have, my name, crime, short stories, gritty, mystery, black humour, etc.
Once you've done this, people can 'agree' with them - apparently, the more people agree, the better it is... (that's the bit I'm unsure about, but Lil or others may shed light on this aspect.)
Hope this helps - just do it anyway, fella - it can only help.
Fingers crossed it sells well for you :)
I can't see the tags (yet). Nothing mystical will happen. It's just better (see above). Tell what tags you want on for search purposes and I'll add them for you too.
Will this do Col? Cheers mate!
Just added those tags to both versions of yer book, so now your book should come up when people search. My guess is, the more people agree with the tags, the higher up the searched list you'll be. (Also 'liked' both versions.) But, regardless, it helps. If anyone else is reading this, go 'like' Marc's books and agree with his tags... er, if you agree! ;) While yer there, do the same with the other Talkbackers' books above if there's time, including mine!!! :D

Maybe you could all keep us updated on your sales :)
Following on from my previous post, I can confirm that the Kindle edition of 'Fragile Earth: An Anthology of Poems' is now live on Amazon.
The link for those of you who are interested is:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fragile-Earth-Anthology-Poems-ebook/dp/B0071PM5UK/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327576287&sr=1-2
Three TBers have poems in the anthology.
Print copies are due to arrive tomorrow so both versions will be available within a few days of each other.

Let me know what you think of it?

I have to confess, I've done hardly any promotion. I'm not a big fan of FB, Twitter or other social networks, so I just let it sell itself. Last weekend it reached number one in the bestsellers again and (aside from two rather pedantic 'reviewers'), feedback has been lovely, so far.
Another tip for selling more Kindle books is to reduce the price on a Friday. More people buy Ebooks on a Friday and Saturday than any other day of the week.
Your 'dead people' e-book is excellent, so I'm not surprised that it's selling well. Congrats!
