After initially sitting on the sidelines, I decided to enroll in the Kindle Lending program. One of the main perks of the program is - Amazon allows you to sell your works for free for up to five days.Well, on December 24th I placed the Kindle edition of _THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM_ on sale for free. I did the same thing with _SIGNS OF WAR_ the next day ... and I'm here to tell ya ... THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!!

Here's some of the stats so far, and keep in mind, the free programs are still in effect:

_THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM_: (Currently)
  • RANKED 1,218th in ALL of Kindle store! (Was ranked 253,512 before the program started)
  • RANKED 5th on Amazon's WAR THRILLER BESTSELLERS List! (US)
  • RANKED #1 on Amazon's Geopolitical Thriller popularity ranking! (27th day - 1st time #1 since August)
  • RANKED #1 on Amazon's Counter-terrorism Thriller popularity ranking! (Was never higher than #5 before)
  • RANKED #2 on Amazon's 9/11 Thriller popularity ranking! (Avg. ranking before program was 370th)
  • RANKED #8 on Amazon's Terrorism Thriller popularity ranking! (Avg. prior was 310th)
  • RANKED #11 on Amazon's Political Thriller popularity ranking! (out of 4,007 on the list)
  • RANKED #207 on the coveted Amazon's Thriller popularity ranking!!! (out of 136,863 on the list!!! Never made this list before!)
If those stats weren't awesome enough (my sons' way of putting it), I immediately made EUROPEAN BESTSELLERS LISTS!!


  • RANKED #3 on Amazon-Germany's WAR THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
  • RANKED #88 on Amazon-Germany's THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
  • RANKED #11 on Amazon-UK's WAR THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
  • RANKED #4 on Amazon-France's WAR THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
  • RANKED #87 on Amazon-France's THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
As for _SIGNS OF WAR_:


  • RANKED 1,345th in ALL of Kindle store! (Was ranked 160,908th before the program started)
  • RANKED 59th on Amazon's ACTION & ADVENTURE THRILLER BESTSELLERS List! (US)
  • RANKED #2 on Amazon's Geopolitical Thriller popularity ranking!
  • RANKED #2 on Amazon's Counter-terrorism Thriller popularity ranking! (Was never higher than #5 before)
  • RANKED #8th on Amazon's Techno Thriller popularity ranking! (Avg. ranking before program was 84th)
  • RANKED #68 on Amazon's Political Thriller popularity ranking! (out of 4,007 on the list)
In Europe:


  • RANKED #20 on Amazon-Germany's ACTION & ADVENTURE THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
  • RANKED #66 on Amazon-Germany's THRILLER BESTSELLERS LIST!
I've already 'sold' thousands of copies of both books in less than 72 hours ... and I almost missed the opportunity. If you want to read about how I ended up enrolling in the 11th hour, read the story here and if you don't believe in God before you do ... you should believe in Him afterwards because, if it weren't for Him literally leading me to water AND making me drink, I would have missed the entire opportunity! Read about it here:


My sincere thanks to everyone around the world who are now reading my novels ... I'm humbled and as always to all of my mentors - Dean Wesley Smith, Passive Guy, Joe Konrath, Scott Nicholson, and Jeff Bennington!

And to them and everyone else - Blessings, Peace, Joy, and Health in 2012!

Love,
g

    About Gerard de Marigny

    ​Gerard de Marigny is an American novelist and screenplay writer. His newest release is WHITE WIDOW (Cris De Niro, Book 7) and he is currently writing the sequel to the Amazon-Bestselling Modern War Western, JOSHUA'S COUNTRY.

The series of books resonate with espionage, sub-genre fiction readers from around the world.

    In 2014, the famed Creator/Producer of the iconic MacGyver and Stargate SG-1 television series contacted Gerard after reading and loving THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM (Cris De Niro, Book 1). de Marigny and Greenburg formed CDN Films to write and produce screenplays  based on the novels in the CRIS DE NIRO series. The first screenplay, CRIS DE NIRO: THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM is now under consideration and Legendary Entertainment.

    Prior to his writing career, Gerard worked in the financial services industry, and prior to that, he wrote, recorded and produced music for other artists, for television and was a member of the rock band, Americade. He is a graduate of Penn State University. Gerard and his wife Lisa live in the foothills of Las Vegas, Nevada with their two cats, Nalah and Katya. They have four sons, Jared, Ryan, Jordan, and Noah.
