My science fiction title "Holo Sapiens" is to be free from April 25th to 29th. Here's the blurb for anybody interested in downloading it - the cover art is in my signature 
“I’m glad my life came to an end. That was when it really began.”
In the near future, a horrific pandemic known as The Falling has decimated mankind, leaving just a few cities standing. In a desperate bid to prevent the extinction of our race, technology has given rise to an entirely new species: Holo Sapiens.
Those fortunate enough to be able to afford it can be resurrected after death as holographic projections immune to disease, hunger and time itself. But as the human survivors of The Falling make their last defiant attempt to find a cure before the last cities fall and political power is passed to the holosaps, the discovery of a “kill-switch” that could see Holo Sapiens consigned to history changes the world. As the prospect of war looms between the living and the “after-living”, it is down to one woman to find the kill-switch before mankind and Holo Sapiens attempt to erase each other from existence...
Which side of the afterlife will you be on?
I've also booked an ad' for it with an interesting new service called Genre Pulse, which was only $25 but apparently can do wonderful things ( I've checked, and it's a legit site ). Will post if anything amazing happens. |

Good luck! Holo Sapiens sounds really cool. Curious about Genre Pulse, too.

I used Genre Pulse for two books and didn't get to the average download number that was mentioned on the site, but maybe it was the wrong genre? (they were YA Dystopian and erotic romance).
Good luck with your promo!

Good luck with your promo! I've been told that Genre Pulse works best for Romance as the majority of subscribers are female. However, for $25 I thought it was worth a shot. For me, promos are all about rankings rather than profit: if the book rises high, then hopefully a long tail of paid sales results from the extra reviews received etc. Will see how it goes and report back. |

Would love to hear how genre pulse goes. I'm always on the lookout for new places to promote. Not sure why they don't have somewhere to sign up for their announcements though? Good luck with your book, the blurb sounds interesting. Unfortunately it's not free in Australia.  |
