I have several books published on Kindle, and use the free books avidly to promote them. I have had more success doing this than any other promotion strategy I've found. As an unknown author it is an uphill battle to get people to buy your book. So I had an idea this week to promote myself as an author by having a book that was always free. I tried to put this book on Amazon but found that the only option was to charge at least 99 cents for it. But I was able to put it on goodreads for free, so I did that. I wouldn't have been able to put it on goodreads were it not published, so I had to charge for it on amazon, and in order to give it away free on goodreads I had to give up the free kindle promotions. So I am not sure how all this is going to work, it is in an experiment. One thing I will say, this free book on goodreads is my favorite cover yet.

The name used in Wagner's Opera derives from the old Norse Mythological character Sigurd. He reconstructs his father's sword from the shattered fragments and slices through the anvil. Could he be the ancient predecessor to Arthur?

Why did I choose this name for my character?

No reason. But in this book, don't call him Siegfried, just call him Ziggy.

We all struggle with eating healthy. But I always have a lot of sympathy for kids who struggle with obesity. That is why I am so happy that this book is free today. I remember when I was a kid how easy it was to be skinny because we played all day outside. Now days kids sit inside on computers all day and get fat.

Check out this free book for kids to encourage them to eat healthy and get exercise.
