Coming Attractions and Anthologies Free On Smashwords--again

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!

Remember: A free book rarely costs any money at all.

Seven Reasons Why Books Are the Best Christmas Gift

I suppose this would be a good time to remind all of you that books are, by far, the best Christmas gifts. Yes, even for non-readers: In fact, books owned by people who don’t read are not only great re-gifts, but when not re-gifted they’re among the books in the best condition. No dog-ears, no food stains, no bent pages … pristine. Two hundred years from now, you can resell books in such good condition for enough money to make up for inflation, if you should happen to still be alive.

In addition to that, books:

Require no batteries. (Except e-books, and those don't kill trees. That I know of.)

Almost never rot your brains.

In hardcover editions can be used for self-defense.

Can be hollowed out to hide all sorts of contraband and/or listening devices.

Make bookcases much more useful.

Never go offline during power outages, assuming you have backup lighting. If you don’t have that in case of power outages, are you really smart enough to read?

Also, should you buy our books, you’re shopping locally. This makes me happy, and don’t you want to see me happy? I thought so.

Don't make me send the Santa Mafia after you. They're always present.

 

But if you’ve heard horror stories about going out shopping this time of year, you could always go to our website at http://www.markrhunter.com/books.html. This gives you a choice of several books in five or six different genres (because I just can’t seem to keep my mind on one thing), with prices ranging all the way down to free (for Strange Portals, anyway. Did you know you can send e-books as gifts?) It’s like Black Friday somehow turned into bright December.

So that’s my pitch, and if you spread the word I promise I’ll continue to be funny and entertaining. 

Okay, I’ll try.

Dad's Gift

 It's been a few weeks now since we got together for my father's birthday, but Emily and I have been sick most of the time since then and I've just now gotten around to putting up the pictures.

Not that they're the greatest pictures I've ever taken, but there was food to eat. Priorities.

Dad turned ... something. I figure if I don't think about his age, I won't think about my own. But he still has enough lung power to get those candles out, so it's all good.

 

But the coolest thing of the day, if you don't count the fried chicken (we're southern) was this very cool mural. Mural? Wall hanging? Heart posty-grandpa cloth?

It lists all of Delbert Hunter's children, grand-children, and great-grandchildren, of which I'm one. (I'll let you guess how far down the list I am.)

Hearts are appropriate ... a lot of love, there.

I'll bet no author has ever asked you which book he should promote next.
