GoodReads and giveaways -- a Good Thing?

As I've mentioned before, this is the The Year of Promo (or Marketing R Us), and I'm focusing on GoodReads quite a bit.

To that end, I set up a giveaway of the first book in the Deadly Landscaping trilogy, Lilacs. Here's the scoop on the giveaway, right here.

I'm absurdly pleased with myself about this. I've done very little in the way of promotion for my books, and this was such a no-brainer and so easy. I am intensely curious to see if (1) I get reviews out of this and (2) if any of my other books see a jump in sales and (3) if I get any reader interaction out of this.

So stay tuned, faithful readership. I'll keep you posted!
