Greg Leaping asked Sarah Noffke:

Sarah, as an author such as yourself or for publishing companies, why are books given away for free on giveaways or read and reviews, when it's probably guessed or known there will probably be very little in return in the way of honest reviews?

Sarah Noffke Great question, Greg. I know it seems weird to give a book away, but I'm confident as a writer that if I hook readers with a freebie that they'll return to finish the series. This is a really hard business and making money can be challenging. That's why readers should feel free to accept free books, but also try to give back to authors they enjoy. They can do that by purchasing other books in the series, leaving reviews and telling their friends about the books. :)
