FREE Post-Human!I am offering the Post-Human Kindle edition for FREE! I tried to get Amazon to let it be free, but they wouldn’t let me because it is a self-published edition, but you can download the Kindle version for free by going to my website, and downloading it there! Don't have a Kindle? Not to worry! If you have an Android or an iPhone, you can get Kindle Apps, likewise if you have a tablet. Don't have those either? Well, you're still not left out in the cold! There is a PDF version you can download and read on your PC or Mac, all on my website.

I had a friend ask me about freeebooksforkindle.org and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it?
Carol wrote: "I had a friend ask me about freeebooksforkindle.org and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it?"Carol, I just went to the site for a peek & they have thousands of books for Kindles, Kobo & Nook. You have to have a membership in order to download any books. They just said you need to pay a small amount....I didn't go any further. Hope this helps.
I saw that, too. I have a hard time trusting a site that requires me to pay before I can check out the whole site. Was hoping to find a BBB report on it. Actually, no report would be better. lol

If I want something bad enough, I'll go to the library. If the book is unattainable from the library, I'll wait & purchase it at some point (if the price goes down, etc.). I'm (almost) sure the site isn't a scam, but I just don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about it. :)

I'll just let my friend know I wouldn't do it, but it's up to her.
Carol, that sounds like a plan...leave it up to your friend.

This must be a mistake only $2.99 http://www.amazon.com/Bootscootin-Mys...
Bootscootin' and Cozy Cash Mysteries Boxed Set (Books 1-6)
Giveaways. It's something that we're all doing in the kindle world. I wonder about it. It's not that I think they're a bad thing, I just wonder if they achieve exactly what we'd like.
Over a 24 hour period, I gave away 132 copies of Beat on the Brat and Other Stories courtesy of the wonderful www.blastedheath.com and I'm delighted with that.
It fulfils part of my ambition in the sense that I want to be read. If half of those who downloaded read the collection, that's amazing.
It pulled in a couple of wonderful reviews from a couple of rather good authors.
Here's one from Richard Godwin, author of Apostle Rising:
''Beat On The Brat' is a collection of muscular crime stories by the talented Nigel Bird. Each tale takes you into his characters' world, and each character is sharply drawn. Nigel Bird could cut tins with his dialogue. He shows the men and women who people his stories reach for props in a soiled world. The author writes tightly structured realistic narratives. He strips his characters' props away, while maintaining sympathy with an assured narrative voice. '
The second is from the US and is from Katherine Tomlinson (former editor of Dark Valentine and author of Toxic Reality) who says, amongst other things:
'This collection is perfect for a pre-holiday read because it doesn't require a huge time commitment. If you know Nigel Bird's work, you'll devour these stories like chocolate-covered cherries. If you don't know his work, this selection of his award-winning stories is a fine place to star. '
I love chocolate covered cherries.
I actually sold a couple of copies over the giveaway hours as well, which was most unexpected.
That's all very positive indeed and is plenty for me. I think the reviews will help and the spreading of the knowledge through word of mouth (for I am confident that the word will be strong and good) will make a difference over time.
There was another ambition, too, if I'm honest.
I guess I hoped for a bump in sales of my other titles. As far as I can see, that hasn't happened at all.
That's OK, but it's not the end of the rainbow.
I wonder why?
One of the things I did was put myself on one of the many giveaway threads at Goodreads. Excellent thinking. Go where the giving is good.
Within an hour I'd had four more additions to the thread via my email. I checked them out and they weren't my cup of tea, so I didn't bite. And that's just one small thread in one small forum on one particular site.
There must be thousands of presents coming out all the time, enough for us to fill our kindles two-fold.
The mission, surely, is for us as readers to fill our kindles with good stuff. Work we want to read so we'll read it. I think this links with Steve Weddle's thoughts on pricing over at Do Some Damage http://dosomedamage.blogspot.com/2011... a short while ago.
If everyone's giving stuff away, how can an author or publisher stand out from the crowd?
By writing great stories must be on the list. By working to the extent of our skill and then improving on that the next time. By getting hold of the best covers and the biggest social networks. Through advertising? Free sex with every copy? Trips to the moon if you buy-one-get-two-free and clean windows of a mansion every day for a year?
There have to be limits to how this all pans out. What the hell should they be?
I guess I'm asking for some help here. Point me in the noble direction. We are all prostitutes, but some sell their body more often than others. I'm happy to do the selling as long as I'm putting it about in the right places.
Back to my giveaway. I really enjoyed doing it. I'll be doing it again soon. I want to be read. It's my first objective once my writing's as tight as that mouse's arse (that's stolen, by the way).
I also picked up on a release from one of my favourite writers which I'd somehow managed to miss Dig Two Graves by Eric Beetner (probably trying too hard at my self-promotion to see what else was going on) and was sent a couple of new review copies which I can't wait to read at some point soon. It also put me back into contact with friends I hadn't been in touch with for a while. For all these reasons, it was a personal success. I'm looking forward to that next time. I'll keep you posted (naturally).
is free for today. If you like a little dark in your light read, it might be a good choice for you
I like some dark in my light. I also like the title.thanks
If you're looking for some interesting non-fiction, the Kindle edition of Change.edu: Rebooting for the new talent economy by Kaplan CEO Andrew Rosen is currently free from Amazon. (update, now changed to free for Amazon Prime members only)For sci-fi, the kindle edition of Bright of the Sky by Kay Kenyon is currently free from Amazon.
For you fantasy fans, I just noticed that the Kindle edition of The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells is free right now.
'The Secret Keeper' is free at Amazon. It has 3 x 5 star reviews and is a novel with some historical and some contemporary fiction, full of music and the saddness and inspiration of war, outstanding courage and a large slice of betrayal. Based on a true del Gesu violin.http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Keep...
Sorry, they've put it back to 99cents. But it is climbing the rankings, in the top 100 in both Kindle Historical Fiction and all Historical Fiction. Goodness knows why they did this, but it seems to have worked.
If you haven't already heard, Amazon just started a new program called KDP Select. It's a program where Amazon PRIME members get to download one Kindle book a month from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL). The book is free to download with no due date. You just have to be a member of the $79/year Amazon PRIME program (and that's only available to US residents at this time) but there are benefits to the PRIME membership.I wrote a blog about this (focused as much on the customers as on the Indie Authors potentially providing the content for Amazon's KOLL) here:
http://webbiegrrl.blogspot.com/2011/12/tuesday-tip-2-new-promotional-tools-you.html
I do not, personally, have any books in the KOLL and because of the requirement to make my book exclusive to the Amazon store for 90 days (as well as the difficulty opting out in time) I'm not planning to participate next year when I release my first book so I really don't have any vested personal interest here.
Some of the Indie Authors represented, however, are quite popular and they've enrolled some of their better works so I felt it was important news to share. It's definitely worth checking out!

Tiffany, that book looks interesting. I thought my 16 year old granddaughter might like it. It wasn't free when I checked 23 hours after your post.
Anybody with a Kindle device or the Kindle app on their computer, iPhone, tablet, etc. can download Angry Mobs and Founding Fathers: The Fight for Control of the American Revolution free. Today (December 19) only.Angry mobs launched the American Revolution when they protested against British acts of tyranny. These rebels threatened, harassed, and chased away British officials and Loyalists. The Founding Fathers agreed with the goals of these Patriots, but not with their methods. Fearing anarchy, the Founders channeled the passion of the mobs toward independence.
Working together, the angry mobs and Founding Fathers defeated the mighty British army and won independence, but the new nation that emerged was anarchic and chaotic, much like the angry mobs themselves. Meeting behind closed doors, the Founding Fathers conspired to depose the Confederation government, wrote a new constitution, and created the world's most successful republic.
Angry Mobs and Founding Fathers tells the little-known story of how these two groups fought for control of the American Revolution.
