Free on The Kindle
Posted by: | Comments
You may have heard a word or two lately about the emerging war between Barnes & Noble and Amazon. It stems for a new Amazon program called Kindle Select. The program is designed to help authors promote their work to a larger audience, thereby increasing sales. But there is a catch. You have to allow Amazon to promote your ebook exclusively. Hence, the war.
I’ve had ebooks on both sites, and in fact, prefer the Nook to the Kindle or the Fire. But Amazon sells 100 of my ebooks to every 3 or 4 at Barnes & Noble. So I’m going to test out the big dog on the block and try the Kindle Select program.
One of the promotional avenues you have is to make your ebook free. The idea is that your work will be exposed to a larger audience, and a certain percentage of that audience will become fans and buy other ebooks. So for the next nine days, I’m going to be releasing a free short story each day. It will only be available for 24 hours. Then it will go back to being a paid ebook and a new short story will take its place.
Here’s the lineup (just click on the link to be taken to the order page for your free copy:
- A Time To Every Purpose – February 8th
- Alone of His Kind – February 9th
- Dry Whiskey – February 10th
- Dwindling – February 11th
- Ice Sculptures – February 12th
- Slipping – February 13th
- The Night in Fog – February 14th
- Brothers – February 15th
- The Calling – February 16th
If you enjoy any of these, please don’t hesitate to do a review on Amazon. Every review helps!
Thank you!
The Many For Free
Posted by: | Comments
Until the most dreaded day of the year, April 15th, Tax Day, I’ll be making The Many available for free on this website. You can access the novel (broken down by chapters) under the Pages section on the top left, or get started simply by going to: The Many.
As mentioned in a previous post, The Many was first published as a Leisure paperback under the name Child of Darkness. It was a title that I never particularly cared for, because it sounded hokey and was a bit misleading. So when Delirium wanted to do a special, signed limited edition I renamed the book, The Many.
Here’s a little about the book: Something’s wrong with eleven-year-old Justin Reed. His fourteen-year-old brother, Kiel, has begun to notice the changes. Sometimes Justin doesn’t seem like himself. Sometimes he refers to someone called the pretender. Other times he refers to other kids, kids Kiel has never met.
And now he’s starting to do things.
Dangerous things.
This is the original version. It hasn’t been rewritten to reflect my current style. I’m a firm believer that a writer leaves a history in his wake and it doesn’t do justice to the work or the writer to go back and manipulate that history.
If you prefer, you can download an ebook edition here (please note the modest price):
However you choose to access the book, I hope you enjoy it.
