The Legend of Dust Bunnies, a Fairy’s Tale is a refreshingly lighthearted story about a very important and serious topic: Being Yourself.
Watch a book preview https://animoto.com/play/2XcG5elgmuLc...

The Legend of Dust Bunnies will open your eyes to a world of dirt and dust that you never knew could be so magical and fun! Did you know that Dust Fairies come into our homes at night and spread dust, spider webs, and even spit crumbs into the carpet? They do! It’s true! Well, not all fairies. Artie is different. He doesn’t like messes, and he doesn’t fit in. At first, Artie is lonely and unsure of what to do, but then he takes matters into his own hands. When given lemons you're supposed to make lemonade, right? This story does one better, it turns DUST into DUST BUNNIES. The Legend of Dust Bunnies is the story about how and why a misfit Dust Fairy turns dust into cuddly dust bunnies and the joyful aftermath that follows. It will have families looking at dust bunnies in a new light, and may actually give kids an excuse NOT to clean their rooms. (Picture book, ages 3-9)

The Legend of Dust Bunnies, a Fairy's Tale

Hi, everyone!
I'm fairly new to this group, and I write children's books.
I wanted to let you know that one of my books is free on Amazon (in ebook format) until Sunday, June 22th. It's called Stories for Children 6.

It contains two fairy tales for kids between the ages of 6 and 12. You can find a synopsis of both stories right here.

Be sure to grad a copy before the end of this promotion.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U4I8WHG

Thank you, and Happy Father's Day!

Your book looks really great.

I love fairy tales, so I grabbed a copy.

Thank you!

Hope you enjoy it!

You're very welcome. :)

Feel free to start a thread of your own to post about all your other books too. Then you can keep us up to date with any and all new releases in the future too, if you like. If you haven't already done so, I mean.

Great, thank you! I'll start a thread right now! :)

Hi Group,

Great concept, Tommy!

You can use the library or if someone gives you one

Shannon wrote: "You can use the library or if someone gives you one"

Very true, Shannon.

The point of this thread though is to mention when a book is available free when you would normally have to pay for it.

The library is an excellent resource though, and you're right to encourage people to use it.

Tommy: I went to grab your book, but either I was too late when I went to get it, or it was only free on Amazon US, not Amazon UK, because it wasn't showing up as free for me (being in the UK, I can only buy Kindle books on Amazon UK... Other formats can be done on any of the Amazon sites, regardless of your location, but Kindle books appear to be location sensative).

I hope you get lots of downloads!

Bala-Gala the Brave and Dangerous is free on all amazon stores today, ie 9/24/2015.
http://www.amazon.com/Bala-Gala-Brave...

Blurb: Bala-Gala the Brave and Dangerous is a bed time story for kids, and also a first-read for early readers.
Bala-Gala lives in the forest of Gamba-Bamba, and must save himself from the crocodile, Brammy-Gommy, who lives in the River Kanga.
But who is Bala-Gala? Is he is deer, a tiger, a dinosaur, or a dragon? The answer will delight kids, as will the story.

I hope you get lots of downloads!

I have just published two children's iBooks. I am offering them free from 9.26.15 until 10.9.15 in the iTunes store. The books are written for young readers 7-9. I like iBooks because I am able to embed the audio to help newer readers.All I ask is that if you read them and like them you please leave a review.

The books are:

'Silly Willy Winston in the Adventures of Inspector Snout - The case of the missing tadpole'
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id10...

'The Adventures of Silly Willy Winston as Explorer Snout in a Tale of Two Deserts'
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/adve...

Enjoy

I hope plenty of people grab copies, and that at least some of them leave reviews for you.

I'd grab copies myself, but I only buy my eBooks from Amazon or Smashwords, since those are the places where I have more chance of getting versions that work with the options I have for reading books. If they're on either of those and not free though, I'll buy copies some time... No promises as to when though, as I have a limit to how much I can spend on books each month, and very long "to-read" and "books I want" lists.

Thank you Victoria...all my books are on Amazon as well I just cannot offer them free as I am no longer on the kdp select program. The links are listed on Goodreads.

Again thank you for the feedback and warm wishes.

No problem. I don't mind paying for books... They just have to wait for me to have the money to grab them. I'd already planned to do so anyway. :)

Thank you so much...I understand budgeting more than you may know. Have a great Sunday.

Thanks for letting us know about it, but it might help you get more people interested if you provide a bit of information about the book in your post, so people can see right away if it's something they'd be interested in. Just a thought...

For the benifit of those who don't know... It's Smashwords read An eBook Week from March 6th 2016 until March 12th 2016!

This means that, by going to http://www.smashwords.com and looking through the books enrolled in the sitewide promotion, you can get your hands on some great book bargains.

I'm posting about this here as well as in the thread for book bargains, because there's also a "free books" catagory in the promotion, which you may want to check out.

Thanks for sharing this Victoria

No problem. Hope you find plenty of new authors to try. :)

Hi everyone,
From May 7th to May 9th, Room 42 is free on Kindle. You can download it here: https://www.amazon.com/Room-42-Melody...


Only four months left, then Dave Martinez is a free man.
Dave is an eighth-grader at Lakeville Boarding School, the school for boys with unexplored potential (aka losers). If he can control his impulse to steal, he can return home and attend regular public school. If he doesn’t, he will be sent to Birmingham High, the worst high school on the planet, and his life will be doomed forever. For just a few more months, he needs to stay out of trouble and keep a low profile. And he’s pretty good at that.
Then Dave gets a new roommate, Tom Grant. Tom is allergic to boring and doesn’t know how to listen to rules. His wild plans involve all of his roommates, especially Dave. They’re dragged along with Tom as he hunts animals (and teachers in pajamas), goes sledding on cafeteria trays, and drives bulldozers through the night. Dave’s chances of keeping a low profile are going down the drain.
