Binks: Free Promotion: DAY ONE UPDATE!

According to the report manager on KDP (kindle direct publishing) I have sold 78 copies of Binks TODAY ALONE!  This promotion is going better than I could have ever dreamed, the sheer number of new readers is overwhelming and I am filled to the brim with excitement!  I have the page open and every so often the number listed under "Free-Units-Promo" will go up by one, and its a party every time.  The idea is that after this three day promotional period the free copies downloaded will translate into actual sales in the future.  The same way that people like Ethan's mom found out about it, good old fashioned word of mouth, will allow the fanbase of Binks to blossom and become a glorious following.

It's actually and finally getting out there in the way I had always dreamed but never dared to hope for, BINKS is being read right now by more people than in the entirety of its short yet arduous life combined.  I had things to say, a story to tell, and a REASON to tell it.  The silenced male voice of abuse victims has always been what this was about, for every boy or young man too ashamed or confused or hurt to speak out about whats happened to him.

This is my heart laid bare, every joyful moment and terrible incident spelled out in perfect detail with NO shame and NO bias.  I think now also of the stigma involved with having a mental illness, of how society views us as either forest gump stupid or hannibal lector dangerous.  My journey detailed within those pages, both digital and print format, SHOULD show the humanity behind those with psychosis.  I hope I did my life justice, but I KNOW that I wrote with perfect honesty and clarity of the things I've been through, and that should be enough.

So here's to you, lost souls of the world, to all the botched and the damned.

And here's to ME, for having the balls to write the damned thing in the first place.

Here's to my family, for there love and support.

And too my close friends, some who might actually read this, you know who you are and I couldn't have done it without you.

THANKS EVERYBODY!  I'll let you know how it turns out :)
