A local bookstore’s perspective
One of the local bookstores carrying our ebook cards is Vintage Books in Vancouver, WA. Here’s what they had to say about this new marketing idea:

Shout outs
I wanted to give a special thank you for the bookstores who have stocked our ebook cards: Cover to Cover Books, Vintage Books, and Future Dreams Books. And a HUGE thank you to Dean Wesley Smith for sharing this wonderful idea with the indie pub world.
A final note
I was going to send a separate post out on this but I thought I’d let this blog post do double duty. Last I checked, I had 195 fans on my Artemis Rising page on Facebook. The 200th fan is going to get a free ebook of Artemis Rising in any format the winner wishes. Here’s a link to the page if you want in: http://www.facebook.com/CheriLasota.
