J.F. Elferdink (harmlessjoyce) | 7 comments For readers who like an unusual love story that mixes the supernatural with issues of our time, a story that makes you think and feel, a story that may even answer some of your questions about life and an afterlife, I suggest "Pieces of You."

Oh, and did I mention that this weekend this is a book for readers who appreciate a bargain or, better still, a freebie? From October 5 through 7, Pieces of You is free to download as a Kindle eBook. For those who don’t have a Kindle or prefer paperbacks, the author has authorized a Twitterhood Quiz Special. From October 8 through 16, editor Linnet Woods will run daily quizzes on her Twitter account and the winner on each day will receive a free paperback copy of "Pieces of You"!

To download to your Kindle starting Friday, Oct. 5., please go to http://www.amazon.com/Pieces-of-You-e...

To participate in the Twitterhood Quiz Special starting Monday, October 8, follow @linnetwoods at http://www.twitter.com/linnetwoods and watch out for details.

Thomas Watson Taking a chance on a new author represents a dual investment on the part of a reader: time and money. In an effort to reduce the size of the initial investment, I offer up the stand-alone short story "Long Time Passing," for your enjoyment. The tale is set in the same universe as my novel, The Luck of Han'anga. This story is available as a free download from the following sources:

Long Time Passing - Kindle

Long Time Passing - iTunes

Long Time Passing - Smashwords

Long Time Passing - Sony

Long Time Passing - Kobo

Enjoy! And feel free to tell me what you think of it!

Stephen, I just went to Amazon and [book:Down Among the Yla|17368786] is available for free, but The Long Sleep was not, unless you are a Prime member. Should I be looking elsewhere to get the free Kindle copy of The Long Sleep? Thanks.

Ellen Mellor (samarcand) | 17 comments I made a mistake with the promotion-ing and The Long Sleep didn't go live when I thought it was going to. It should be available today.

Bob Collopy (bobcollopy) | 3 comments I’ve been a quiet participant/observer of the group for a while. Because I love you all, I’d like to give you the chance to read an ARC of my book, The Phoenix Cycle.

It’s a dystopian postapocalyptic where New San Francisco is the only known city left on the planet that is still surviving the nightly ash storms. They survived by putting the American dream on steroids and have become ruthless in the process. You can get a taste of this new and warped world by watching the official book trailer below:

https://youtu.be/JVm1R6nUVjE

(This trailer was featured in a multinational event where over 100 Indie theaters screened the 1984 movie on April 4th to protest George Orwell’s realization of “Alternative Facts,” in the government.)

You will get a few other unique elements with this story:

-Every main character is secretly based on a philosopher or philosophy, but it still reads like a fictional book. So it becomes a bloody revolution of ideas. A chapter of the book has been used by the philosophical departments of Universities in Britain.

-Includes a timely prediction of what could happen if virtual reality became a form of subsidized housing by the government in order keep people complacent and housed in a more cost effective manner.


Some Beta Love:

“the book was actually really good.” - #17 Best Reviewer on Goodreads
“(The) world-building is awesome” - Hillary M.
“I think it has great potential.” -Marcus
________________________________________

I’d really appreciate an honest review on Goodreads or Amazon for my June 23rd book launch.

I can send you an ARC electronically by May or possibly smuggle one to your home. Just let me know!
