My new Mystery novel, Null_Pointer, is doing very well this week on Scribd. For the past six days the document has been garnering over 100 views and spiking to as much as 300 views on two of those days. Not too shabby. It was featured on the main Scribd page last week and this week that is apparently paying off. I will note that the downloads have not been nearly as plentiful but are still approaching 500. On the good side, every day I get at least two thumbs up reviews by those who have visited the page.
If you have sampled the free version of Null_Pointer and want an actual paperback version, that should be available in August. I’ll have a “for sale” date in the next few weeks. In the mean time, download it from Scribd and pass it around to your friends. Go ahead, it’s free!
Thanks Henry and welcome to my blog! Since this post was written, N_P has continued to thrive on Scribd. This weekend it will pass 7000 views which I guess means it’s still getting some interest. The downloads are trickling out past 560.
It is now available from Lulu.com as a trade paperback. Hopefully word of mouth will spread outward from Scribd and people will eventually start to purchase the paperback. In the mean time, I’m gearing up for the release party sometime next month, when the book becomes available for order from any bookstore.
Congratulations on your success with Null_Pointer! Here’s hoping the recent downturn in Scribd traffic is only temporary. It’s a great concept and deserves to flourish, but it’s hard to judge, for me at least, just how successful they actually are. Your success is certainly encouraging.
Henry
