“Telling a Friend” About the Novel MRS. LIEUTENANT

In preparation for the two free days on Kindle for MRS. LIEUTENANT (August 20 and 21), Yael and I have been working on implementing an option for people who have finished the novel MRS. LIEUTENANT to email their friends to recommend the book.

I got the idea for this from Mark Harmon of http://epubandebookhelp.com/

Although we loved the idea, Yael thought there might be a better way to implement it for our goals other than what Mark suggested.

Yael worked on the tech end — getting the technical aspect in place for us. Together we worked on the wording of the recommendation form. Then I inserted a link to the recommendation form into the html doc of MRS. LIEUTENANT, re-converted the ebook via Calibre, and re-uploaded the ebook to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing).

I liked the result so much that I also added the “tell a friend” form to the MRS. LIEUTENANT book page on this site.

Click here now to see the form for telling a friend about MRS. LIEUTENANT. When the email is sent to a friend, the friend gets a shortened link to the book’s page on Amazon.

And to read about a good idea I got from book publisher and ebook converter Chris O’Byrne regarding asking people to review a book, read my post “Making It Easy for People to Say Yes to You.”

I incorporated Chris’ idea into the html revision of MRS. LIEUTENANT at the same time I added the “tell a friend” function, providing two strong calls to action at the end of the ebook.

And put a note on your calendar to download MRS. LIEUTENANT for free on August 20 and 21 at http://amzn.toOXrBhh

Plus please act on the two calls to action at the end of the novel — write a review on Amazon and “tell a friend” about the novel.
