Slightly Off the Mark: free book

I'm interrupting my normal mid-week photo post to give you my normal mid-year e-book giveaway from Smashwords:

Cool--my book is right in the ad! It took me an hour to figure out how to do that--even though Smashwords actually sent me the template to use. This is why I write: I'm helpless at anything else.

While we have plans to add more of our books to that platform (we have twelve now, which in my opinion is also cool), it's been kind of an insane year and we're way behind. But for now it's a great chance to get the Coming Attractions ebook for free, right here:

Which is cool. I think I mentioned that. (I'm sitting in the air conditioning right now nursing an allergic reaction, so it literally is cool.)

The sale is over soon, so get your copy now! Okay, it goes on until July 31st, but if you wait you might forget, and that would make me sad. What's Coming Attractions about, you say? Well, it's a romantic comedy:

At a dark drive-in movie theater, Maddie McKinley returns from the concession stand, gets into the wrong van, and is tackled by the father of the kids inside. Logan Chandler is embarrassed about roughing her up, while also intrigued by the beautiful woman from Boston, who came to the movies alone in an expensive dress. But he’s the local businessman leading a battle to save the drive-in from developers—and she’s the attorney sent to make sure it’s torn down.

This young lady demonstrates that it's perfect summer reading.

Maybe you also want to read other sale books. After Coming Attractions, mind you. No problem, because the Smashword summer sale has more free and reduced price books than there are stars in the sky, and I counted, just to be sure:

Compare that with 9,096 stars. Boy, were my eyes tired.

Naturally, you can still find our various books in other places:

Remember: Free books cost less than a cup of coffee, although coffee table books can be very expensive.

Who wants a free e-book for Christmas? That's right: You do!

So from now until the end of January 1st you can get Coming Attractions on e-book for free. Zero. Zilch. No cost. And that's a 99 percent price cut!

I think 99%. I became a writer because I hate math.

The catch: It's part of the Smashwords 2025 End of Year Sale, which means, let's face it, that you have to get it on Smashwords. That would follow.

You can find the promo here: https://smashwords.com/shelves/promos starting, um, now. This is also a great chance to get the books of other authors, free or at a promotional discount (after you get mine).

If you want to go directly to my account (and who wouldn't?), it's at https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ozma914.

You can get Coming Attractions (or the two anthologies I'm in) on epub, mobi, and pdf formats, or as an original document, so it should be readable to anyone with an e-reader, cell phone, or computer. The print version, sadly, is not part of the promotion.

This is indie author paradise, and indie authors could always use the help. So please, check it out and share the promo with your friends and family, and anyone looking for their next favorite book. And don't forget to review (pretty please).

Happy reading!
