Day 3 of 3 'Manna-X' free promotion UPDATE

Got a surprise from Germany (!!). Danke Deutschland!
#207 Kostenfrei in Kindle-Shop 
Nr. 2 in Kindle-Shop > eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englische eBooks > Belletristik > Comics
The best on Amazon.com was #2113 and #11 in Lit fiction>Humor (though #3 was possible in another list).

...I have no idea why it's listed as a 'comic'...perhaps it's a translation thing. I hope I don't get tons of reviews from angry Germans saying they thought they'd downloaded a comic...anyway...EXCELLENT! Even got a 'Trilogy' sale (did I say that already?)
Still a few more hours left so I'll update this post if anything happens. Expecting at least 2 reviews and hoping those who downloaded will tell me their honest opinion. 
http://www.amazon.com/Manna-X-ebook/dp/B00D94CWF0
So, the downloads from 3 days of promotion? Well, maybe I won't show the figures (embarrassing? well, triple figures, I'd be very happy to make that many sales...:-)~) Here's where they came from...
Amazon.com - 64%
Amazon.de - 27%
Amazon.co.uk - 7%
Amazon.ca - 2%
Amazon.it - (1 download)
Amazon.in - (1 download)
No one downloaded from France or Spain but perhaps they used .com, like some people in the UK did.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO DOWNLOADED AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE READ...YES, READ IT :-)

Day 2 of 3 'Manna-X' FREE promotion UPDATE

Got a few more downloads, but the best numbers of the day were...
#11 in Literature Fiction > Humor
#2113 in the Kindle Store (free)
If I knew how to work the system, 'Manna-X' would've got in the Top 10, probably...
#6 in Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Contemporary (estimated from #2113 rating)
I also got a 'sale' in Germany, the 'Trilogy' (wish I'd updated it now...!)...a book I think I'll take off for a while until I can edit it properly, it has old versions of the 1st 3 books.
Will try to put Taz's picture on Reddit again today (without the imbedded text, as they are now banned).
I'll also tweet a bit, fb a bit and see if I can reach anymore 'milestones'....:-)
Some reviews coming too...
...and 'Dani's Shorts'...
UPDATE: Actually, just found out I would've got #3 in Humor&Entertainment>Humor>Comedy, and #5 in Lit&Fiction>Fantasy>Alternative History!!!!) Fantastic, huh? Will update the system once the promo is over and once I figure it out!

Looking forward to some reviews, too, any would be good. 2 are coming that I know of.
And just waiting for a foreword for the collection of short stories...here's the cover...

8th Fantastic Amazon.com review of 'Manna-X'

This review is from Tony Rand Scott, a fellow sci-fi writer - he's very very good :-)
And again, Adams is mentioned through Hitchikers :-)
Come and read the other reviews here. Perhaps even get the book (which will be free 21+22+23 August).

Format:Kindle Edition
What if God was an entity know as Reginald? What if he had accidentally given a mortal "monkey" the most powerful object in the universe, and then had allowed him to "borrow" it for a while. When the Overlords arrive for an inspection, ready to fine Reginald for requesting a code 237-Manna-X and wanting to check on it, he realizes he must get it back;if he can find it. Thus the race to find the Manna-X begins. Add Moses and the big misunderstanding at the burning bush, Graham Reader more commonly known on earth as the Grim Reaper, the underworlds version of Abbott and Costello in Satan and Lucifer with their Keystone Cop -like hobgoblin henchmen, a romance starved Librarian named Alicia with a serious case of brother envy,the egnimatic Zir, and the Overlords themselves, Bob's 1 through 4 , who come down to "physicality" and have to struggle with the age old issues of hunger and fist to cuffs. Often irreverent, always entertaining, Manna-X will draw you into its amusing and amazing story reminiscent of Douglas Adams, but it will keep you riveted with its original and quirky universe and characters. If you like the Hitchhiker series, you will love this book.

Manna-X in the newspaper!

Yes, I did get into my local newspaper! How did I do that? With a little bit of cheek, I guess.
It's not much of a step but it's the first time I've ever had a mention in a real live newpaper.
...so I guess it is a step forward...a little...
I had to cut the date onto the top of the image from the top left of the page. This article was 1/6 of a page. If you had to pay for that kind of exposure it would cost a lot! Some review lines would've been good, too. But hey! Cool...
