Attention everyone!

Nina Kimberly the Mercilesshere, star of Nina Kimberly the Merciless, by Christiana Ellis. As I am sureyou are all aware, the battle has run into an unforeseen interruption.

The campaign on Friday the 15thstarted off extremely well, and my book rose from a sales rank of 2 hundredThousand to number 533 overall by 11:40 AM Eastern Time. Although the book hadnot yet been posted to the specific genre charts, that sales rank would havebeen Number #11 in Fantasy, #2 in “Epic” Fantasy, and #1 in “General” Fantasy.

That was before noon eastern time! There is no doubt in my mind that thatwas only the beginning.

But the Inertians must havebeen afraid, because they then resorted to a desperate tactic that we had notforseen. It is still not clear exactly what happened, but the Inertians havecaused some kind of an error in the Amazon system that resulted in the bookbeing reported as out of print. When that happened, loyal barbarians could no longerpurchase the book, thus preventing us from rising any higher in the rankings.

Right now, we don’t know yetwhen this will be fixed. We didn’t foresee this strategy. However, we have ourbest spies and shield-breakers working on this as we speak and hopefully wewill be through their defenses soon.

In the meantime, I know thatthere are a lot of you out there, just like me. Spoiling for a fight! Youthought you were going to fight some evil spirits, only to have a door slammedin your face! If you’re like me, that ticks you off and you want to dosomething about it! Well, here’s the new plan. Right now, the Amazon issuerequires a scalpel, not a broadsword, and so I have different orders for you,my loyal horde!

Although continuing to attackAmazon is satisfying, right now, it is counter-productive, so instead, I wantall of you to focus on finding and converting new recruits! The Inertiansspecialize in disrupting momentum, preventing changes from ever happening. Nowthat they have interrupted our campaign, we must work all the harder to beready to resume as soon as we breach the shields again. We must find anyone andeveryone who has not yet heard the call, and prepare them to join our cause!

We have several toolsavailable, the videos, the promos, but your best weapon is the pdf version ofthe book. It is easily distributed on blogs, websites, forums, and Podcast feeds.It has the complete version of the story, so people unfamiliar with the storycan determine whether or not they will like it, and most importantly, itcontains links to the Amazon storefront page. The people who click those linksnow will not be able to purchase it yet, but every click-through will be onemore hit, showing the Inertians that their tactic has not eliminated demand forthe book.

So go, help spread the word,spread the pdf version of the book far and wide, and when we once again breakthrough the Inertians defenses, we will be ready. I know I can count on all ofyou, and thank you for your loyalty and support. Now get out there, and bemerciless!
