It's nice to hear someone else had a similar experience marketing their book. I didn't try GoodReads giveaway, did you see any increase in sales from it?

Also care to link to the book?

I didn't sell any directly from GoodReads (at least that I noticed), but received some very nice feedback from the giveaway winners after mailing them copies.

Sure. It's a rhyming picture book: "My Adventures in Sillyville"- https://www.amazon.com/dp/1512201200/.

This looks good, I could imagine buying one for my daughter, though we in the UK and this is in US English.

I'm guessing internationalised versions are not in the future - apart from "Behavior" are there many other US spellings in it ?

It took me quite a while to realise the picture of the cover was a link to Amazon, but maybe that is just me.

You can buy in the UK from https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1548489778/

Thanks for letting me know that it was confusing that the picture was a link. I updated the page with a more obvious amazon.com and amazon.co.uk link.

I don't think there are too many US only spellings. Behaviour was the only one my (English) mother commented on...
