Free Book Friday Feb. 21: Take that, eh?

It was all the game you could ask for…unless you are a US hockey fan.

I was going to chastise Chantal Kreviazuk for butchering the Canadian anthem, but she was obviously nervous singing in front of a booing crowd and then changing a line to ” that only us command” in protest to the ridiculous rhetoric being consistently regurgitated by the now self-proclaimed “king” of the United States*.

But, back to hockey…

Unlike the first meeting last Saturday which saw 3 fights, over 1/2 hour of penalties in the the first 9 seconds, at the 19:51 minute mark, we knew we were in for an historic game.

No fights, only two minutes of penalties, and the body checks were toned down. It was hockey, just hockey. Both goalies were fantastic, Jordan Binnington making some clutch saves, and Conner Hellebuyck doing everything he could until Conner McDavid was left alone out front to take the pass from Mitch Marner.

Being a Winnipeg Jets fan, It was difficult to root against the best goalie in the league, but it did and now its time to get back to the status quo.

The story behind Free Book Friday:

I’ve met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging. I think writers have a responsibility to inform readers about all the indie authors out there in the very crowded world of book publishing. You can’t do it alone, and why would you when you have a supportive group available?

Readers don’t just read one author – they stick with their favorite genres. Therein lies the power in cross-promotion. If one of my readers buys a book from an author I promote, then chances are there will be a reciprocal effect, or so is the hope. Do I want to boost sales? Of course I do. Do I want to boost other’s sales? Why not. It’s called karma.

Some free book offers require a newsletter sign-up, which is a small non-monetary price to pay to try out a new indie author.
