Ramblings of a Writer

Heart of Time is on Kindle Scout

Yesterday my upcoming fantasy novel Heart of Time went live on Kindle Scout. You may not have heard about it (heck, I hadn't until a few days ago), so here's an explanation in their own words:
Kindle Scout is reader-powered publishing for new, never-before-published books. It’s a place where readers help decide if a book gets published.
Picture
To make it available on Kindle Scout, I had to upload the entire manuscript - quite a surreal feeling, knowing that someone at Amazon might be reading it right now. Two days after I submitted the book, the campaign went live. Now people can nominate the book (all you need is an Amazon account), which will show the people at Amazon that readers are interested in it.

Nobody really seems to know how much nominations and page views count towards the final decision, which is a little strange. But then, Amazon's algorithms are always quite the mystery.
Picture
In the first 24 hours, Heart of Time got 319 page views already. The statistics don't tell me how many people actually nominated it, but it looks like I'm on the right track.

 It's also shown as hot on the front page, which should hopefully encourage more people to read the blurb and vote for it.

Now it's your turn. If you want to help bring this book to market, please nominate me using the button below. If it gets published, you'll get Heart of Time for free.

If it doesn't work out, I'll publish it myself, as originally planned, in mid-July. Subscribe to my newsletter to get the latest updates and some exclusive teasers.
