I couldn't resist - new free
After giving away so many copies of Aries at Dawn on Amazon last week, then seeing sales pick up afterwards, I decided to go ahead and do it again this week. I underestimated the enthusiasm that all these transactions would give me that I can apply to my every day writing.
It took so much effort to write this book and so much time with the 20+ rewrites over the years that anything less than outstanding sales felt like failure. That's because it's a good book; maybe not in the sense that I've established some sort of literary new frontier. But it sucks you in and keeps up a fine pace that keeps the pages turning. In fact, sometimes when I pop in to check my memory of a scene, I find myself continuing on into the story, long past that initial scene. Ah, what a self-serving sentence that last one was, eh? Sigh. Probably shouldn't blog after a long day at the office, but then restraint has never been a strength for me.
I think I'm in a similar situation to many authors out there. They've written good, compelling stuff. But unless you crack the Amazon top 100, or turn up in searches for books in your niche, it's hard to get the ball rolling. So. Free it is. Again. Hoping to get the ball rolling even more than it has.
For the next day and a half, you can get it for free at:
