KU, Libraries, Smashwords And Sales





I’m often asked why I don’t have my stories in KU. There are
a number of reasons for that decision but the key one is…





I love libraries.





I grew up dirt poor. We didn’t eat every day. That was how poor
we were. But we lived in Canada and access to the library was free. I’d walk
into the library with my library card, leave with as many books as my little
arms could carry and feel like the wealthiest person in the universe. I read
entire libraries out, reading everything from small engine repair to thick research
books on crows.





I want other people to have that experience. And I want my eBooks
to be available to everyone.





KU doesn’t allow books in their program to be available at
libraries. KU also costs money for readers to use.





Public libraries usually don’t cost money for readers to
use. If things get tight, I want you to ALWAYS be able to read my stories. Why should
you miss out on my next release simply because you’re a little short on cash?





So I list my eBooks at public libraries.





If my eBooks aren’t available at your public library, ask
the awesome librarians there to order them. If your library doesn’t have the
budget for my stories, let me know and I’ll work with them.





By asking for my eBooks at your local library, you’re
leaving a legacy of sorts. Those eBooks should be available for other library
patrons…forever. And that will be because of you. YOU will have accomplished that
feat.





That’s all sorts of awesome, isn’t it?





If you prefer to own your eBooks (If you borrow books in KU,
you don’t own them. Once you return them, there’s a chance they’ll be delisted
and you’ll never be able to read them again.) and you’re on a strict budget,
Smashwords is often the best place to buy my eBooks on sale.





There is a sale happening right now on all of my eBooks –  https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/CynthiaSax
.





You can find your specific format at Smashwords. Mobi is
best for your Kindles. ePub is great for your Apple devices, your Nooks, your
Kobo readers.





Smashwords has personal libraries so you have another off
device storage place for the eBooks you buy there. If an eBook gets deleted or misplaced,
you can download it again.





If you have any questions about libraries, Smashwords or heck,
anything else, I am always here for you. (big hugs)

Other Chameles view him as the
enemy.





She sees the warrior hero he never
believed he could be.





* * *





Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet
to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting
for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors
he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.





That best isn’t the barren,
dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s
determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him
might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing
words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining
the war.





After many solar cycles of living
alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky.
Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an
emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.





He also insists they must part.
Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his
big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once
more.





Every additional moment Lea and
Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased
by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in
the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled
might be their own.

core stories in the Chamele Barbarian Warlord series.

message 1: by Marian (new)

Marian I love your words about libraries and how books should be available for everyone, not all of us can always buy, and KU is not an option agreeable to every reader, myself included.

Thank you for your solidarity!

Hugs from Spain.


message 2: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Sax (hugs Marian) Libraries and librarians are the reason I'm a writer today. They are so very important and I will always support them.

BTW...I love Spain.
Before the crisis, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I would visit your beautiful country at least once a year.
We've met so many wonderful people there and we can't wait to return to Spain.

Yes, books and libraries were a huge part of my childhood too, they should be a priority in every town, village, country...just everywhere.

I'm glad you love Spain! 😄 I'm from Andalusia, and if you haven't been here yet, you'll love it! Yes, the corona crisis has changed our lives, at least for the time being... I'm also looking forward to traveling, the world is so big and full of wonders! 😄

If you have any questions about Spain, you're welcome to contact me.

Thanks again for your inspiring words.
